During the two terms of office John had acquitted himself with skill and fidelity Fear of him had doubtless restrained the machine from many characteristic depredations, but victory was well nigh hopeless. He had become a candidate again only that the fight might go on. In the faint hope that something might occur to turu the tide In his favor In the absence o f the un- foreseen he would carry the townships by a slight majority, but New Chelsea and I'lumvllle would go strongly sgaiust him The little city had grown remarkably In population and Impor tance. John was an old story In which It had lost interest It got the impress ion that In turning deaf ears to his plea It was righteously squelching a shal low. Impudent, self seeking upstart Kveu among the farmers John met with the unrosponslveness o f discour agement They would vote for him. most o f them, but It would be perfunc torily. hopelessly They were disap pointed The reform that bad began so auspiciously six years before was ending lu dismal failure, with no other fruit than to evolTe a new and stronger machine Well It waa for John's melting trust In himself and his fellows that he could tma»t an occaslounl t'ranshawe or Sykes or Criswell.
