That if you let the leaders of a party
secure you a nomination, and the party elect you, you are bound to their
principles, at least there is a tacit understanding that you are, and if
you should happen to be afflicted with principles of your own, then you
have got to sacrifice them."
"'Afflict' is a good word in this instance," said Mr. Winton. "It is
painful to a man of experience to see you young fellows of such great
promise come up and 'kick' yourself half to death 'against the pricks' of
established business, parties, and customs, but half of you do it. In the
end all of you come limping in, poor, disheartened, defeated, and then
swing to the other extreme, by being so willing for a change you'll take
almost anything, and so the dirty jobs naturally fall to you."

I have sufficient annual income from my father's estate to enable me to
live until I become acquainted in a strange city, and have time to
establish the kind of business I should care to handle.
