MR.. ELLIoTT's REMARKS.
MIR. Elliott, having read the bove reso
lutions at the request af Mr.. 0'Brien, said
Mr. President
second these resolutions, which hav
just been handed to me to read, with all IN,
heart, and am confident that they yoic
the sentiments of every member of tn
association. Mr.. Gosling came almost un
known into our midst, upon the occasion
the first assembling ofOur organization. II
bounded into popularity in its incipiency
and as We came to know him better ha
added year by year to the golden opinion
his earlier promise begat. Not only has h
literally been and done all that these reso
lutions announce, but in his untirin
efforts he has far exceeded thei
Hottest praise. To duty he ha
added generosity to aborious work he ha
brought genality of manner, and the mer
its OF executive efficiency he has supple
mented with the extension of a spirit o
rare fraternal friendship with us all. Hat
1t been possible to prevail upon him to &C
cept another term, the unanimous vot,
which would have replaced the trust he noy
surrenders would have made these walls re
sound with even far louder applause thai
that with which you are now greeting thes
expressions commemorative of his merits il
the flower of his fame. Never was harmO
NOUS development of complete adaptabiit,
for our presidential position, more thor
oughly embodied or conspicuousy promi
nent in any person than has been fount
centered in his, from tly-leaf to closing pag
in the volume OF his efforts. He has mag
nitied the office that he held and even tn
United States government in entrusting hin
with power recognized an executive lithes
that perhaps this association developed
and from which he drew his highest in
spirations and some valued lessons. Tha
the compliment intended in the first o
these resolutions is fully due your vote
am sure will now attest and the wishe
preferred may the bcneficent God aboy
: bring to full fruition.
