A thing of gold I hope they will sustain. I presume this is OBJECTOR, as nothing else seems to fit. But where does sustain come into it ?

[DoghouseRiley]

A lawyer making an objection (= objector) in court to an adversary's arguments or questioning presumably hopes that the judge will sustain the objection?

[Lie-in King]

Also - 'Object' (thing) + 'or' (gold, in heraldry)

[boxtops]

Object = thing, or = gold
