battle of the plutOcracy against the people.
But mankind cannot be destroyed to please
an oligarcby of bankers. The people have
arisen and by their voices and ballots will
be heard.
Donne.ly asked all who believed that
John Sherman had done more good than
harm to hold up his right hand. Not
hand went up. He then asked for all W bO
believed that Sherman had done more
harm than war and pestilence to hold up
their hands, and nearly every hand in the
hall went up.
After Donnelly's speech recess was
taken until p. NJ.
