the different Cabinet officers as well as of the President will if carried bat effect di- or indirectly a half million of persons and it is no exaggeration to say that it will produce a silent salutary revolution in the morals of our government The old baric motto to the victors belong the has had a most debasing influence upon American politics inasmuch that with a great many it has obscured the real principles for which parties should con- tend has made political contests not a statesmanlike advocacy and trial of great national policies but a vulgar scramble for profit and place
