the democracy of the United States. /
want Oh state just here that in no
moment OF my life and iu mo- uttcrance
that make is the Presidency of the
United States I'm my mind. When act
"a, President of the Central road, act
for the interests of that corporation
without any regard whatever TO my
political chance or opportunities.
