In time, a man be ,he ever ea able or So good. vrill, imperc.e,ptebly, 1,erow away frega the people or rather., the people will glow away from him. There see -ms to, be a faseina.tion a- bout political life which• prevents a man frora recognizing this change at the opportune moment and a re- verse is frequently the result. The very -best men the country has pro- duced, on both sides of polities,have anot with eeverees from this cause and ,eensequently the 'reverse in Bast Ifuron, wihich we hope is only temporary, may be accounted, for. • * * In West litUTOoi Mr. Ife:drnes niade a rave fight and deserved a better fate.
