Fellow citizens, can hardly tell the people
OF Buffalo how / rejoice to night, and how
grateful am for this demonstration OF the
confidence and esteem of my friends and fellow
citizens / have resided among You, and in

In the few weeks that have passed since / saw
you last an event has happened of su RENE I'M
portanoe TO me, and that places me within the
nations gaze The honor IL has brought to
me ask my fellow-townsmen to share, while
acknowledge with grateful heart all that they IN
the pasthave done for me. But two short years ago
you stood steadily by my side in every eli ort of
mine, as the Chief Executive of our city, to adj
vance its interest and welfare. Whatever i was
able to accomplish OF value in this community
was largely que TO your strong and intelligent
support. Nor can ever forget the generous
Endorsement yon gave my candidacy for the
high office which i now hold in the state, and
l assure you that in its administration have
received no greater announcement than the
approval of my friends at home What have
seen and heard tonight has touched me
deeply. 1t tells me that my neighbors are
still my friends, and assures me that have not
been altogether unsuccessful in my efforts to
deserve their confidence and attachment. In
years to come shall deem myself not far wrong
IL still retain their good opinions, and IL sur
rounding cares and perplexities bring but anxi-
ETY. and vexation, shall find solace and comfort
In the memory of the days spent here and in
recalling the kindHess of nv Buffalo friends.
But other friends are here TO- night, and to all
who tender me their kindly welcome 4 extend a
heartfelt greeting as citizens with me of the
greatest Commonwealth in the sisterhood OF
States, and one immensely interested in the
general veal. Because love my State and her
people, / cannot frain from reminding you
that she should be in the van of every move
ment which promises a safer and better admin
istration OF the General Government, 80 closely
related to her prosperity and greatness. And
let me leave you with the thought tina your
safety lies in impressing upon the endeavor of
those interested with the guardianship OF your
rights and interests, a pure, patriotic, and ex-
acting popular sentiment. The character of the
Government can hardly rise higher than the
source from which It springs; and the integrity
and faithfulness Of public servants are not apt
TO be greater than the peope demand"
