manifestation of your Democratic attach
mept aud principles. Gentlemen, We are
in the midst of an extraordinary campaign,
the most extraordinary campaign that |
have gore through, many as | have taken
psrt in during my life. We are in cam
paign in which our adversarles have tbs
boldness, the audacity to tel the people
that the wsy 10 make people rich is to

way to benefit the condition of a man
is to tax him from the crown
of his head to the soies of his
