Contendin' voices rant an roar, to warn us

CONFLICK tl,e Golden Rule's a stranger!

needn't ever much expect to better our condition. . . .

without a-callin' any names that he's the Devil's brother.
1 reckon that it's nip and tuck between contendin' forces
but I would sooner pass the buck, than hear their crime
discourses. ,
Why can't we have two honest men, to run against each
other who'd serve the people now an' then, an' treat 'cm as
