Show TWO BOSSES Two nven in our country havf been talked of more during the last three month than any other pair. We mean rreaident-olect Wilaon and Governor Sulaer of New York. We are afraid both of theiu arc going to hav aome trouble with their own party before another an-other year. President Wilaon will inaiat that he ia tha boaa of the Democratic party, and will not take kindly to any ftoca opposition on the part of any individuala of hia party. Sulzer aaya he ia boaa of New York, and ha ia going to have trouble with Tammany, on the one hand, and the conservatives, on the other, because in thia republic, while aome men can be boaaea, those who succeed are men who do not announce so openly their determination to be bosses. They are both of them in positions where they are exulting over their auccesa, one as president, the other as governor of the great empire state, for New York by itself ia equal to any except three or four of the governments of Europe. It haa the money, it haa the people, and it spends more money in proportion to the people than any foreign government ever thought of spending. And when these men get to work, one in Washington and the other in Albany, it will take some of the finest seamanship to guide their respective re-spective ships of state. And it will not be surprising sur-prising if we hear that each humps his craft now and then, not ou sand bars, but on real rocks. |
