Gently said that the hope Of a settlement on
any other basis than the Riddleberger bill
and its amendments would be vain and de
lusiye; and inasmucb a. | would not con-
sent TO depart one iota from that bill In any
feature or particular, do not see that a
would accomplish any good,
but, on the contrary, excite hopes
with the creditors that could not BE-
realized and cause unnecessary dir
turbarce with anxiety with our
people. and for these reasons am opposed 20
taking any other course than 10 simply say
10 the creditors: There is the settlement; II
il the best we can do; You can accept or
object 10 80 YOU choose; If you refuse and
further annoy the people. and they finally
say In their desperation. they Will not do as

prOyal. 10 had now become the duty OF
every patriotic citizen 10 help 10 make sue
cessful work that has been set on foot by
the majority; and further, IL was eminently
proper that gentlemen who saw danger

in position 10 ward of that danger. Surely
