and gentlemen of the Legislature
| thank you from the bottom of nv
heart tor the high honor you have
conferred on me. This ia NO tiae
or occasion for making speech and
indeed | am in no condition to make
one. My heart is full of gratitude
to the Legislature of Wisconsin tor
this honor. Following as it does on
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 am Republican.
Every body knows / shall act with
the Republican party in ali it's mea.
sures. in defending its principles to
the utmost ofmy ability, at the same
time as Republican and acting in
she harness of that party. It will
be my pleasure and pride to do ev-
erything in my power to promote
the interests of all the people of
Wisconsin as faithfully as / can in
the United States Senate. In the
opening of the year the circumstan-
ces OF the country are most pr0pi

have been obliteratsd. We have re-
snmed specie payments. We are
paying our debts in honest money
and are determined as whole peo-
pie to preserve the good faith and
credit Of the nation in the faithful
and honest discharge of its obliga.

has been most fortunate. 1t has
produced what is called an initiation
of prices; it has started business al
ready and we look forward in good
hope to return of what we call
good times. / will not detain you,
gentlemen with further remarks on
this occasion. Again let me say l
thank yon from the bottom Of my
heart, and accepting this trust from
the Legislature of Wisconsin l shall
be willing to lay it down at any
time when the Legislature of Wis
