TILE GAME OF POLITICS.


The Natchez Democrat, under the
heading of The Cane of Politics.
has IA very able editorial in its issue
of the 9th, portion of which We
give, as follows:
Never before has the game OF pol
itics been playe with d epe dissimn-
lation than il is today by the as
pirants for the presidential chair pre-
cesding the election in 1864.
"On the one SIDE the present in
cumbent, mindful OF the tact that no
vice president was sver elected to the
presidency, altar he had succeeded to
that high Office by the death Of the
president, is hopeful that the rule of
fate may be broken IN his case.
No man has played harder for the
nomination of his party that Mr.
Roosevelt from the day he was sworn
in as the successor of Mr.. Mckinley.
Under the semblauca O. entire
disregard Of all but patriotic duty
there has cropped out the true animus,
guiding his actions with an eye upon
the nominating convention.
We would ny no means deprive
the president OF all credit for patriot.
ism, nor intimate that tho perfor
nance Of his duty as he con,siyed it,
was made subeervieut 10 his chances
Of election, nevertheless the discharge
Of those duties has been wildly TING
tured with aspirations for second
term.
1t is interesting to watch the
game as played between the president
and Mr.. Hanna. The latter with
pheaomenal self abnegation has de.
MEL having any Aspirations to the
presidency. even going 20 far as sub
mission to the Ohio conventions en-

This self repression was splendid
