Brother Babcock seems to have passed through a part of the last week without dropping his bread and butter, butter side down, at least his wails are comparatively mild in recent issues. He is trying hard to make it appear that newspaper editors should have all the postofflce plums, uncontested, because of their party loyalty, while county chairmen and the workers in the trenches are such small and unimportant “fries” that they are not worthy of consideration. But his wails seem to have tapered off quite a little and indications arc that he has about cried himself out; Is just giving up from sheer depletion of tears.
