ONE GOOD THING OF GOLD.
There is one thing golden which, permit
me in the same good humor which has
you here. 1t is the golden rule, to do unto
others as you would have them do unto
you Forget not the greed OF devils and
that an absolute acquiescence in the will OF
the majority is the vital principle of the
republic. Democrats as you have been
quiesce gracefully in the will of this great
majority of your fellow democrats and only
ask to 20 with them as they have often
gone with you. (Applluse) Do not forget
