The Fraud Consummated

But a few more weeks and President Huyes' admimstrations will be at an end. Considering the inanner in which he was placed in the chair, he has made quite an endurable president, but ne; one of any strength or force. He started out with a policy of concilintion and good feeling - undoubtedly to propitiate the people whom he and his party had defrauded - and bas ended up with a bitter and vindictive spirit, overflowing witli hatred and sectionalism. He madegreat preteusions toward civil service reform, but had nol the courage or maultncss enougu to carry out one single idea advanced. To]be sure he nept bis word in regard to accepting a second term, but he did so only because he wal obliged to, for his party so detesled him, that the meution of his name, even, would cause a sneer. Both bijj administration and himself will soon be buried in obhvion. Like all men who have proflted by knavery, he will soou be forgotten, and like Benedict Arnold, will rest in an unhouored grave.
