[91]
The statements made by the defendant,
gentlemen, have been numerous and very varied but never consistent. For he
realizes that all along you have been cheated by him with empty hopes and lying
assertions and that you remember his promises only so long as they are being
uttered. If then the city must go on enjoying the fruits of Demosthenes'
wickedness and ill-fortune, that we may still be plagued by an evil
genius,—I can find no other word for it,—we should acquiesce
in the present state of affairs.
