The Whirligig of Time
Summary
The article expresses amazement that the Gazette accepts the leadership of Mr. Swann, a prominent "pro-Rebel Democratic" speaker. Swann has changed his position from that of 1864 when he was elected governor and stumped for the adoption of that year's constitution. Former Governor Swann is now "jockey of the Democratic steed." He has a wonderful knack for "riding a horse that other people have saddled." [from Balto. Amer.]
