Show CANDIDATE AND MANAGER. (From the N. Y. Tribune.) According to the New York Evening Post, the Democratic Presidential candidate Is a "real man, a figure of heroic "proportions, a man before he was a candidate, with no armor but his honest thought, no skill but simple faith." Et cetera. According to the same New York Evening Post, the Democratic National Committee Chairman, Chair-man, who has been selected expressly to manage this campaign, and who, presumably, was chosen because of his acceptability to and harmony with the candidate, is "a man wholly without convictions, convic-tions, he is for anything his party is for, he Is thoroughly unscrupulous in his poiitical methods." Now, how can two walk together unless they are agreed? If these two walk together and become be-come agreed, is the good candidate going to convert con-vert the wicked manager? Or will the wicked manager corrupt the good candidate? It will be interesting to watch the ethical conflict between the Real Man, whoh as just done something of which it Is said that "nothing so fine Is known In our political annals," and his hand-in-glove comrade who is "a man wholly without convictions" and 'thoroughly unscrupulous in his political methods." Wo are not sure but that It will pretty nearly rival the traditional impact between an irresistible force and an immovable object. |
