campaign. I have been taught that a pub
llc servant was but n hired man who was
chosen for certain length OF time TO do
a certain work and that those who select
him are the only ones TO Judge whether
or not he is competent for the place. You
cannot always tell whether q man Will
make a good man not by the way ho
looks but we have a good platform
adopted at Chicago. and I believe that

OF that Platform win make a good hired
man for the people of the United States.
