Undisputed Master.

He was the author of no inspiring
measures, the recognized advocate Of
no consistent ideals. There was about
his leadership always the suggestion
of secret intrigue, relieved occasion
ally by bewildering audacity- But
he brought strong men into subjec-
ton or drove them baffled from public
life and exalted those whom he chose,
till opposition had long worn away,
and. in spite of increasing years and
feeb1eness, he had become, in the
evening of his life, the undisputed
master of the COMMUNICATIVE
