The Common Interest
and The Man
I could not have accepted a nomination which left me
bound to any man or group of men.
No man can be just who is not free; and no man who
has to show favors ought to undertake the solemn respon.
sibility of government in any rank or post whatever, least
of all in the supreme post of President of the United States
To be free is not necessarily to be wise. But wisdom
comes with counsel, with the frank and free conference of
untrammeled men united in the common interest.
Should I be entrusted with the great office of Presi-
dent, I would seek counsel wherever it could be had upon
free terms. :
I know the temper of the great convention which nomi-
nated me; I know the temper of the country that lay back
of that convention and spoke through it.
I heed with deep thankfulness the message you bring
me from it,
I feel that I am surrounded by men whose principles
and ambitions are those of true servants of the people.
I thank God, and will take courage.
