For some reason or other, Mr. Bingham didnot seem to fear that he would be stabbed in the back, that he would be systematically betrayed. He spoke frankly with the reporters, nor is there any evidence to show that he ever had cause to regret his frankness. At least, Mr. Bingham, far from adopting a defensive policy, continues to place in the newspapermen with whom he comes into contact, complete confidence as regards his utterances and a politeness, which far from being servile fawning, marks...
