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.
