Il am surprised to find so many people
here, for 1 supposed that III this commu-
nifty where your distinguished Sena tor
lived you would be afraid of me as a dan
gerous man. 1t is gratifying to find that
50 many of you have formed your opinion
from reading other speeches or other ar
tioles than those which emanate from
your Senator. / am sorry that / cannot
have his aid, but there are so many other
laboring men who are with me that l
suppose I can get along without his sup
rt TT in this campaign. You have heard
OF the dinnere pail argument here and
your Senator is good man to preach it,
for his dinner pail is full. / suppose that
his Senatorial salary will fill his dinner
pail and leave the railroad salary for a
fair supper in the evening"

Gu then declare that therefore the Pres
iCent was not obliged to refuse his ap-
pl oval TO that portion of the Sulu agree
ment which permitted the temporary coz
tinuance of the alleged slavery in the S,i-
IL Islands.
The point to which 1 called your at
tention in my communication was that
the President did refuse his approval and
therefore, that portion of the agreement
IL not existing. / am gratified that yor
direct attention to the fact that tie
present Administration does not require
the force of constitutional provision tc
prompt ii to recognize the rights of men
Permit me, however, to call your atten-
ton to the concluding words of the
amendment to the Constitution to which
You refer: Neither slavery nor involun
tary servitude shall exist within tbs

their jurisdiction
