When l find that my conscience
will not permit me to carry out the
platform on which 1 was elected |
will resign and let some other man
have the Office"
believe that the time has come
when the people should refuse to be
held up and sand-bagged by few
men who assume that money is more
precious than humanity"
I" do not use the word gold bug
in an offensive sense. 1 use the
word in that same kindly spirit in
which the gold bugs use the word
lunatic when they speak of me-"

ground"
81 would rather have it said that
l lacked dignity than to have it said
that l lacked backbone to meet the
enemies of this government who
