thoughtful citizens, With whom politi-
cal parties are only agencies for publia,

political decency, making II doubtful as
to his ability. no matter how strenu-
ously he might try, to secure honesty in

ADMINISTRATION over which he presided.

would be the outcome of any admins

populism and the rapacity of Tam
smany.
