Mn HAYoR AND FELLOW CITIzESs-I
am not little intimidated as | face so un-
expectedly this vast cOuCourse Of the citi-
2ens of this great state of Vermont. l
say great, though your territorial extent
does not place you among the larger
states, great in an origin that gave oC-
casion for an early and resOlute expression
of that love Of liberty which has always
pervaded your people, great in popuia-
ton that has never bowed the knee TO the
arrogance of power, or to the blandishr
ments OF wealth. and has, through all the
history of the state, maintained the in
spiration Of its early appeals for love OF
personal Independence. ] rejoice to be
present today at the home OF one Of your
distinguished public servants, with whom
it was my good fortune for a time to be
associated in the discharge Of public du-
ties. / am glad 70 see here at his home
the respect and honor in which George F.
Edmunds is deservedly held by the people
of Vermont. Applause. Having for
six years witnessed the value OF his ser
vices rs a legislator in the senate Of the
United States, I share with you the regret
that the country is no longer to enjoy
those services, though it is a source Of
qualification To you, as 1t Is to me, to
know that in his love and loyaly TO the
state he has 70 highly honored, in his love
and loyalty TO the union OF states, there
will be no call for his wise counsel and
help that will not find ready response
from the walks Of private life which he
has chosen to resume. lApplauseI

ioned seats of the boat were flied he
took the tiller and gave the command
