Times Change.

Forty years ajgo no man with a mustache could have been elected President. In those days the mustache was considered undignified if not immoral, and a man who sported one was looked upon with suspicion. It was the badge of the adventurer, gambler and the rake in the estimation of many good people. A mustache like Cleveland’s would have imperiled the chances of the most popular candidate in the country, and Logan’s would havecaused an absolute stampede to the other party.— Bloomington Eye.
