Vendor: GOVERNMENT
I demand simple justice. I am not here as beggar. I do not care so far as I am personally concerned whether you give me a seat or not. I will go back to my people and come here again.

-- P B S Pinchback, ( 1837-1921), US politican; He held a number of offices in Louisiana before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1872, but was denied his seat by a vote of his colleagues.
