who never tried to deceive electors for
their votes and to whom a red hot stove
would be no temptation? Why waste
the treacle of praise upon the other
disciples OF sweetness and light who are
in the van OF Independent politics? 1t
seems that our correspondent would
have done far better to let his idols
stand without his comment. serene in
their own altitude OF virtue, making
their own story OF righteous sacrifice
for the country's good.
