al Assembly, as l have every rea-
son to believe can be, / shall not
go there as the bond servant of any
candidate for United States Sena-

resentative of any particular class
or interest.
shall not go there with the pur-
pose of accepting years salary
which | have not earned, but on
the contrary my voice and my vote
shall be directed toward closing of
the doors of legislation as soon as
may be, against any further salary
grabs in Ohio.
On ali political questions / shall

reflect the wishes and wisdom of
the democracy Of this district. !

that the Democratic party both

and the practices of its life Is the
party Of the people and that the
merchant, the mechanic,t miner,
the farmer, aud the laborer are as
much entitled to consideration at

of the state as the millionaire or
powerful corporations.
