To paraphrase him he said that political parties would take over and the interests of the people would be forgotten. If you look at our politics today I think he has been proven right. The dominance of the political parties has replaced the concern for the " common good". He also warned about professional politicians. This is another thing that has developed that he was right about. We have people who are in office for 20+ years and who seem to have lost touch with the people who elect them. He felt a man should do his civic duty and go home.
