l have, with one exception, refrained
from participation in the debates upon the
floor of the Senate. l adopted this course
In order that could the better maintain a
just and impartial attitude toward the sew
eral members when you disagreed in your
views upon the merits Of a pending mea-
sure. The hour has arrived in which we
will be permitted to close the long pro-
tracted duties of this session of
the General Assembly of the State
of Delaware. In few moments more
this session of the General Assembly will be
known only in history. If our work has
been well done we with our constituents
may enjoy the benefits thereof If we have
made mistakes we with our cons tituents
must suffer the results. To those of you
who were my 'lleagues in this body two
years ago / express my congratulations that
your work with mine, as legislators, is nearly
completed. We now will be relieved from
the duties and responsibilities which de-
volved upon us in our official capacity.
Whatever of mistakes we may have made
we, most likely, will never have the oppor-
tunity OF correcting. But with conscien-
tious sense of good intentions we must
abide the effects of all our acts. To those
of you who have been with us but for this
session can only recommend that you eL-
avor to profit by the experience of the
present session, and that you improve upon
the example we may have set you; and when
the time shall have come for you again to
assemble In this chamber your experience
during this session will be utilized in the
better discharge of your duties than we have
been able to discharge ours.
