former occasions merited appreciation, trust it
may be received as an earnest OF what may be
reasonably expected at my hands during the
present session / can assure you, gentlemen,
that my brief experience in matters connected
with legislation, has taught me the Importance Of
respecting both the rights Of minorties and of
individuals; and relying upon the Supreme Ruler
Of the Universe for aid and guidance during the
few short weeks that we may be permitted to sit
in counsel together, pledge to them that respect
which holds them sacred and far above al party
or selfish considerations.
It is no less true than trite remark that hu-
man minds arc as diversified as human counter

deh5eradve assemblies. In entering then upon
the duties before u.s. let MS bear in mind that the
various interests of our several constituencies
and those of the State at large viii suffer moth

and dignifed department elements 50 essen
