not see the session come TO Il close without eN-
pressing a seatmenJ like that embraced in the

Its deliberations, the Speaker had treated every
member with that courtesy that is due from one
gentleman TO another. New friendships had
been made during the session and cemented
by golden links. He did not believe that any

PRESENTATION REMARKS.
J. Y Coleman AssemblyInau from san Afateo |
and who the Democratic candidate for |
speaker, arose, and. addressing the House !
said: 1he work is done; the battle is fought: |
the reward Of popular APPRECIATION or the con
de!nu3lipn OF popular disapproyal awaits US. |
But neither can change the result: neither can |
revive the lost opportunities; neither can put |
new life into the coTpscS OF bills that have fallen
in the struggle. nor weaken the strength OF |
those that have survived. Mistakes have ncces-
earily been made. anInGsitics have been eugen- |
dercd; but friendships have been formed, cXpe-
rienCc mas been gained, much good has been
done, and pleasant and profitable memories Will |
grow. like graveyard flowers, out OF the death |
of the session that Is just passing away. Our |
existence here has been that oi little world
Il microco>m-and perfection could not have |
attended lis Efforts, nor could absolute
vnauiuily have nodded our diverse
minds into one. Let Us, therefore, close
mp our ranks and before we are disbauded let
liz clasp bands all down the line hoping with
Pope that Whatever l., Is right. Let Us also,
like GOOD soidierS-Democrats and Republicans |
aliSc-salutc our leader our chosen chief. who
has presided 50 firmly yet gently, 50 efficiently
yet annually, over our multitorm deliberations.
His mas been 81 difficult task, beSct with unusual
obstacles; but how well he has performed it let
our uns;iutc admiration attest. His knowledge |
of parliamentary law needs no 1iattvry at my
hands; his uniform good temper and almost
fatheTly rule has cndearcd him oven 10 his pO-
iItical opponents.
Some OF Us have. perhaps, at times rehelled
against rulings tnQt did not exactly accord with
our personal desires; but cool reilection-the
sober. second thought has corrected our !
first Judgment and soitcucd whatever Of aspcTity
had iouLd lodgmcut in our hearts. The very
nature of thing, makes 10 impossible for ono
mind to conform To- the infinite shapes of all |
othcg minds difference ct opinion is not n
week.-mrs. of human uatt5r. hut is lis very u tri-
hutc. the Infinite di"l. IN luiuliii To-. and not
until We arc gathered % Iti, vast bosom will We
all think and ste alike. Forgetting. then, orr
dis-cSious, lelF1's crown tic brow OF our chief |
with the palm that De Do, Inrr ted. Let rs re
ceIye him with uut,'rc.Chtd hands as nc abdi-
cntcS he chair thai be has so Wpthily filled
and let us hope thaI nappincs, viii lay her

approach To the inevitable grave viii be made

honor That has been conferred on nc by my
selection 20 perform this duty on this occasion |
aud yet feel that II is meet and proper That one
o. Tie minority should be chosen to present this
material evidence Of our regard and esteem 20
you, sir. knowing hat il viii be priced by you
more for It's associations tian for It's value and

Response. o. SPEAKER rARKs.
Speaker Parks replied a. follows:
Mr.. tcnkcT and gentlemen OF the Assembly !
il is q Distinguished honor TO be chosen as the
presiding officer of the representatives. of the |
people, But the honor becomes not really com
lcte until after the close of our lablrs and the
passing of Judgment thereon. II I have sue
cecled in gaining your appreciation during the
session, ! shall esteem that result far beyond
any present that you can make to me- The
intrinsic value Of this gin before me is very |
great, hut il is rs nothing to the value / |
place upon the kindly feelings you
have expressed for me. My associations
with you all have made impressions
upon me that shall live while life !
lasts and memory holds its throne. Ihave never
known body of men TO have been assembled
under similar circumstances among whom less
0nimositieS have been cngendered and with
whom my own associations have been 50 agree !
