Both have been in politics a full generation?Tory Disraeli almost always "out" [of power] and until recently detested by most of the members of his own party, which can find no better man to lead it; Gladstone, "in and out," half-in, half-out, goaded around the arena by a conscience, the subtlety of which he is interminably explaining to the misapprehensive gentlemen of England...
