My Policy Is Trust Peace

It Will Be The Duty Of The Executive, With Sufficient Appropriations For The Purpose, To Prosecute Unsparingly All Who Have Been Engaged In Depriving Citizens Of The Rights Guaranteed To Them By The Constitution.

Personally I Do Not Resort To Force - Not Even The Force Of Law - To Advance Moral Reforms. I Prefer Education, Argument, Persuasion, And Above All The Influence Of Example - Of Fashion.

Shall The Railroads Govern The Country, Or Shall The People Govern The Railroads? Shall The Interest Of Railroad Kings Be Chieflyregarded, Or Shall The Interest Of The People Be Paramount?

I Saw The Man My Friendwants Pardoned, Thomas Flinton. He Is A Bright, Good-looking Fellow.... Of His Innocence All Are Confident. The Governor Strikes Me As A Man Seeking Popularity, Who Lacks The Independence And Manhood To Do Right At The Risk Of Losing Popularity. Afraid Of What Will Be Said. He Is Prejudiced Against The Irish And Democrats.

He Serves His Party Best Who Serves The Country Best.
