y duty, every member will bear me out in the statement that there was the most perfect unanimity in our work on the county affairs ex- cepting in one instance, wherein I was disposed to more moderation and leniency, I was sum- marily sat down upon by the other grand jurors. If I am a conceited ignoramous unfitted for and incapable of performing the duties which were intrusted to me, let the attack be made upon that ground. If a master mind, with bull dozing proclivities controlling and overshadow- ing eleven solid, intelligent taxpayers of the county — eight of them of the opposite political faith — let that be the battery opened upon me. Consistency should thus be considered. Having the consciousness of the faithful ( 38 ) performance of a public duty fearlessly, with- out favor or prejudice, I am willing to submit to the consequences personal and political. Be- lieving that when a full and thorough investiga- tion of our county affairs shall have been con- cluded the verdict of the people will be favor- able toward the grand jury. D. P.
