It Is Still Unabated

IT IS STILL UNABATED.

CONGRESSMAN SMITH WRITES HIS DEAR FRIEND.

Orator Helber reads the letter with great gusto which shows the Congressman's unabated confidence.

" 'My dear friend' - see that, he always calls me 'my dear friend'-always". So said Helber, Washtenaw's celebrated orator with a large circulation, in his best oratorical style reading from a letter received from Congressman Henry C. Smith. And then as if he thought this was not convincing enough - and who is there who could withstand this overwhelming proof - he continued showing the letter. "See that - 'my confidence in you is unabated'. See that - unabated." And then Helber followed this remark with uncomplimentary references to the Argus, which had inadvertently published a remark of Smith's that he was looking for a man of brains in Washtenaw. The public will be delighted to know that Smith's confidence in Helber is unabated.

McKinley kept telling Alger, "You are all right," and at the same time he was striving to get Hobart to ask him to resign. Smith keeps telling Helber, "My confidence in you is unabated." Does the parallel end here?
