Response by e. II. Esheiman,
Some years ago, Mr.. President, the coun.
try was electrified with enthusiastic admira-
tion for the pilot on the Mississippi river Of
a burning steamer, who refused to leave the
wheel, and in his effort to run the steamer
10 shore and saved the lives of the passengers
perished at his post. That was an exhihi-
ton Of sublime courage-of grand heroism
and as such entitled 10 the admiring
plaudits of the people.

maintenance Of the Constitution inviolate,
for Eve years they have endured privation
and toll in their nature disheartning And
often, while suffering from this privation

fidelity to the Principles OF the Democratic
