| Senate, as follows:
Nh Feliotc- members Of the Senate: In rising to
| express TO YOU the lew Par ting words which my
lprulnptlngs as your associate would most natu-
rally suggest, would not, if | could, suppress
! the feelings that rise within me, the last
mcnts of our official Intercourse now hasten to
| their close. Ii has been bat three short months
since assembled IN these halls, many of Us
! strangers to each other, with scarcely ii tie in
| common but the bond OF service TO ouI honOred
State which pledged mutually to fulfill.
la this b, if space Of tim. have had our full
| and active share III the exCitcmcuts consequent
| upon a legislative session; have reIoIced at the
! adoption Of measure which we took to heart,
and pei haps, have also felt the sting OF dlsap-
poIutmtnt the loss OF those ON which our great
est labors were bestowed.
| The records OF the session are now before the
people, " no entrusted Us with lis Important uu
| ties our actions and our motives are TO be pass
ed upon by them, and il Is not for Us To say what
may lie III, ir verdict. Most sincerely do con-
graduate you upon the harmony that has pre-
vailed, and most gladly do assert ii as my be-
lief, that VIC are about 10 part without any dis
tur hanCc of that friendly sentiment which we
| feel should exist among Us.
| Although engaged In what may be called the
dry routine of public business, we have not, am
| sure, been Gnmindful of those points of nature
that make US al akin - and let Us trust that,
IN the midst of much that might have awaken
ed IN adverse feeling to each other, we, at least,
have shown that men may differ without lntol-
etance, may be earnest without amnesty, and
ma even be disappointed without a misconstruc-
| ton of the motives OF those who have labered
with them for n common end.
| To you, Senators, who so generously conhded
| to my hands the highest honor in your gift,
have only say that II, in the exec utlon OF the
a. 'bale a he
| To secure your APPRECIATION and esteem, then
| truly sh al have added browning pleasure t"
| the memories of tins session, as look back upon
| the iudu genCc shown me and the great cousld-
erstiou which have received at your hands
| May We not hope that the associations foim med
among ia will not be laid aside with the limits
of our official duty but that they may be con
tlnucd and strengthened toI our mutual pleas
ure and advantage.
| To the officers of this Chamber I wish to Offer
my thanks for the able and efficient manner in
which they have discharged their atduous la
hors, and am sure that the Senate will join with
m n testify TO the uniform courtesy and un-
Filling industry and tain ness of the representa-
| tive of the Associated Press. And now, Sena-
tors, as AXE my leave, with a full appreciation
