| l thank you from the bottom Of my heart for

| as 1T does upon some unfortunate circumstances
in my past history. / appreciate it all the more.
And thank you all the more sincerely.
In this country we are divided into political
| parties, and every body knows that am repub
llcan- Everybody knows that shall act with the
republican party in all its measures-in defend
ing its principles to the utmost Of my ability. At
the same time. as a republican. and acting in the
harness of that party, twill be my pleasure and
my pride TO do everything in my power to pro.
mote the interests Of ali the people of Wisconsin
as faithfully as can, in the United States Sen
ate. 80 - ss.l Jus u. 79fI
In this opening of the year the circumstances
the country most propitious. The last re-
mains Of the war have been obliterated. We
have resumed specie payments. We are paying
our debts in honest money. We are determined
as whole people to preserve the good faith and
credit of the nation in the faithful and honest
discharge of its obligations. The effect Of this
resumption has been most fortunate; it has pro-
dnced what is called an imitation of prices; it has
started business already, and we may look for
ward in good hope to return of what we call
good times. rr.
l will not detain you, gentlemen, with further
remarks on this occasion Again, let me say, |
thank you from the bottom Of my heart. ANA
consin, I shall be willing to lay it down at any
time when the Legislature of Wisconsin say l
have forfeited or disI egarded the trust. lap
