Patronism has been too pretentious and this judicial accident to on«e of its angels may tempâ€" orarily silence its dinner horn, The character of Patronism is determined not by the quality of its princip‘es but by the quality of individuals who repreâ€" sent those principles. The Patron memâ€" bers belonged to other parties before they passed from darkness to light. Each had his ambitions and his weakâ€" ness before ho was a Patron, and half of them bear a grudge against the old parties, that with all their faults would not further the ambition of the men who have been exalted by Patronism.
