NED--"You have about as much chance of winning as a landlord running
for office on a dry ticket."
THE HEELER--"Well, I see that Jimpson, them reformers' candidate f'r
Mayor, is goin' t' have all his meetin's opened with prayer."
THE BOSS--"Good! That means he knows he's licked!"
"What do you think of the candidates?"
"Well the more I think of them the more pleased I am that only one of
them can get in."

CANDOR
"How is your wife this morning, Uncle Henry?"
"Well, I dunno. She's failin, dretful slow. I do wish she'd git well,
or somethin'."--_Puck_.
Candor may be considered as a compound of justice and the love of
truth.--_J. Abercrombie_.
Candor is the seal of a noble mind, the ornament and pride of man, the
sweetest charm of woman, the scorn of rascals and the rarest virtue of
sociability.--_Bentsel-Sternau_.
'Tis great--'tis manly to disdain disguise,
It shows our spirit, or it proves our strength.--_Young_.
STATISTICIAN (on the platform)--"These are not my figures, ladies and
gentlemen; they are the figures of a man who knows what he is talking
about.
