held the closest attention of his audience.
He impressed his hearers by his mani

| He made no claims to oratory, but ut

and conviction. He said that whether

| Governor, whenever the Democratic party
asked for his services it could command
them. He did not think the party owed
him anything and he asked for the
high honor of being Governor upon the
principles he enunciated and his past
record.

not a dollar he possessed was wrung from
| a poor man or caused a tear from the

The speaker stood for progress in the
