POLITICAL

Diplomatic Legislative

An unworthy piece of legislation

An odious piece of class legislation

A grave indictment of independent citizenship

Names of genuine weight on the roster of delegates

Signs of a genuine awakening in the nation

Deliberate malfeasance in office

A flagrant offense against public opinion

Indulging simply in pure buncombe

Logrolling schemes

A public disgrace

A blaze of popular resentment

Political fakery

Blind partisanship

An unfortunate deadlock

Public apathy

Under the old régime

In the initial days of the campaign

A shifty self-seeking politician

Astute diplomats

A corrupt public sentiment

From long association with politics

The real state of affairs in the nation

The last word of political wisdom

The pressing questions of the hour

Facts officially winked at

Recreant to a solemn trust

A sincere desire to safeguard the public

Refreshing to the people

Close to the heart of affairs

Hesitating at no extravagance

These recriminations go on endlessly

An era of good feeling

For political advantage

Scrupulously avoiding any offense against his party

One of the most prominent and potential among the leaders of his party

One cannot blame him for being resentful when the organ of his party flouts and ridicules him

He is quick to anticipate the veerings of public taste

It is regarded as a mere eczema on the body politic

The engrossing questions of the day

We must set ourselves to hunt out helpful policies

A stroke of diplomacy

Guilty of gross political impropriety

In the throes of an acute political crisis

A diplomatic victory

A new world order

Special interests

Political vicissitudes

Desirable reforms

Certain inalienable rights

Astute leadership

Political prestige

Leaving the individual decision to each man’s enlightened judgment

Upon the firm foundation of liberty, justice, and equality

Conspicuous in public affairs
