4. s'The Legislature of Tennessee"
Hon. Dorsey B. Thomas, Speaker OF the
Senate, responded substantially as follows:
Mr.. President-As member of one
branch of the Tennessee Legislature, and
in their behalf I cordially thank you for
this compliment and evidence of your ap-
probation. Whether our labOrs as legis-
iators have been for good or not, it is ex-
ceedingly gratifying to have the approval
of the representative men of SO important
an interest as that represented by you. /
regard this as an important epoch In
the history of the mercantile interests
of the State. I regard this as
the beginning of an era when Legislation
for or against any particular interest will
have ended. While the Legislature has
sought to remove the invidious discrimina-
tons that have always made against the in
terest you represent, should hang my
head in shame, and never again show my
self to my constituents, If could for a
moment believe that 1 had forgotten the
interest of the bare-footed boy of the hills
and hollows, or of the interest Of any
portion of the people Of our lib
eral State. Equal rights and protec-
ton to all" is the only true motto
! for Legislatures. Upon this basis
