Nobody owns them. So far as l am concerned, l not only hay h: 6 not nate promise to any man but no man has dared ask me to mas d promise. My ears are free. there fore, to hear the counsels of my fei- low citizens.
 If you people standing here want your government, you can have it. and the people of the United States have made up their minds that they want their own government, and theT are going to have it.
 When I see a great company of people like this around, who will stand up merely to hear speech, ' know that the people of this coun- try have determined to take posses son of their own affairs in order that their own thoughts may get translat- ed into the affairs of government. and l know by the present constitu tion of the great party that l belong to, that there is way in which they cans get 1t. Therefore, am one of those who is entering upon this cam paign with absolute confidence"
