It was John Adams who said that New York politics "were the devil's own, incomprehensible." They remain the devil's own. On Tammany's record of proved corruption, on Tammany's record of government by graft, by intimidation and by blackmail, a city that respects law and liberty and public integrity would have arisen practically unanimously to destroy the most sordid and venal political organization known to American institutions. No such verdict can be found in the election returns. Tammany has been beaten, but with unlimited corporation money and influence behind it, when a quarter of a million voters cast their ballots for Tammany's candidate, these ballots are a shocking manifestation of popular indifference to honest and decency in government.

The author of this passage clearly feels let down by the voters who chose Tammany's candidate.

Plz me asap select the correct text in the passage. which two sentences in the passage introduce counterarguments to the speaker’s position in favor of recycling? we only have a limited number of resources to serve humans around the globe. by recycling and reusing the resources we have, we can preserve what untouched natural resources we have while extending the life of the resources we’re currently using. admittedly, we cannot reuse or recycle all of the materials we use in our daily lives.some materials are not recyclable, such as certain food containers.others items are not biodegradable regardless of what we reuse them for, and that can create problems in the long run. my opponent would use these limitations of our ability to recycle to counter my points about the materials we can recycle.however, this is not an “all or nothing” scenario.we should reuse and recycle the materials that we can and try our best not to buy materials and products that can’t be reused or recycled.by doing our part and encouraging others to do their part, we can increase our chances of conserving our remaining natural and manmade resources over time.

Excerpt from jane eyre charlotte bronte 2 i was glad of it: i never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to eliza, john, and georgiana reed.
