For a long time after this affair, so I learned from Mrs. Coolidge when I asked her about the story her friend had told me, the Governor thought it was that interview and the stern spirit he displayed in it that had made the change in the opposition's attitude toward him and had seemed to affect the feeling of the whole Territory. For his official path became unexpectedly easy.

"You must see how natural and reasonable my suggestion is." Then becoming admonitory. "You should learn to think a little more of others. It is a bad habit to offer opposition simply for opposition's sake." "I do not oppose you for the mere pleasure of opposing," Damaris began, determined her voice should not shake.

Bright's being in it, that every Home, Foreign, and Colonial Secretary's being in it, that every ministry's and every opposition's being in it, are but proofs that men will do in politics what they would do in nothing else. Is this the plea?

That is, we may need a totally non-standard list. My judgment is that we should develop one or two black "silver bullet" capabilities, if we get too far afield, the system will not be able to digest the recommendations.

They begin to talk in town of the Opposition's gaining ground; the cry of liberty is still as loud as ever. I have published, or Davies has published for me, an 'Abridgment of the History of England, for which I have been a good deal abused in the newspapers, for betraying the liberties of the people.

Their 'high principles' they prate of so eloquently, their crack-brained economics, their rebellions and their strikes the dogs! would soon bow down before that power! Men have starved for stiff-necked opposition's sake, and still may do so but with my hand at the throat of the world, with the world's very life-breath in my grip, what then?
