position of speaker, his administration
shall have my firm, fixed and honorable
support. To my friends Of the minority,
who may be disappointed at this result, I
tender nv gratitude for their support,
which was actuated by noble, disintereeted
friendship, based on the highest considera-
tions of duty, as they beiisyed, Dotn To
their party and country. L bow to the
decision of the rnsjority Of my colieagu es.
The duty imposed upon me By my constit-
uents will be performed with an earnest
zeal for their interest, for tbs triumph of
my party and the real prosperity of my
country. IF, in the future, there be any
service I can render, that will tend to
these ends, it will be performed with
cheerfuIness which no other citizen Can

Cox of New York then took the floor and
said: ST tender my acknowledgement to
the gentlemen who have given me their
confidence and especially TO the sixteen
gentlemen from New York, and have to
say am relieved from the responsibility
which possibly might have fallen
upon my frail shoulders. 1
sympathize with the distinguished
gentleman from Kentucky who is to bear
In SO far as can assist him in any way he
will find me ready as a coadjuter to the
distinguished gentleman from Pennsyl-
vania. In the future our party depends
largely upon its action 10 the fiscal ques-
tions. They connect themselves with lib
critics and life, with trade, with commerce,
with magnanimities Of public life and
with the grandeur of the republic. While
thanking those who sustained me during
the long siege, confess to feeling
somewhat wearied, being on my
feet during the last two week..
The result Of 1884 depends upon
the wisdom which we exercise in our duties
Of this congress. Without wise forecast
and discreet horoscope We will be in the
future, as We have been in the past, dere-
ict, beaten, doubly discounted. Bat I
hope better things, and shall endeavor in
my humble way to do something towards
framing legislation on higher and purer
tone. Remember 1884 depends upon our
wisdom and discretion" LApplause.
