House.
Mr.. Peaks of Dover, offered the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That the thanks of the MEM
berS of this House are due to the Speaker,
the Hon. Andrew z. Wiswell, for the con.
spicuous courtesy, fairness, courage and
impartalitv with which he has presided
over our deliberations.
Mr. Peaks-And, gentlemen, | wish to
say just a few words. Some time before
this Legislature met, in my misty imagina-
ton | saw a gentleman other than the
Speaker presiding over the deliberations
of this House. Since | have come here
and sat here As a member of this House |
have watched with some degree of care TO
see if | could notice anything, any act
any word, any ruling of the Speaker which
could be criticised in any way, and am
free to say to you that have seen none,
and with all respect to the distinguished
gentlemen who have occupied that chair
in years gone Dy, | am free to say that
recollect no man that think has filled the
position with more honor, more integrity
more fairness, more impartiality. and more
courage than the distinguished Speaker of
this session and | hope that this resolution
will have unanimous passage.
Mr. Stearns of Caribou-Mr Clerk, |,
too will add nv testimony to the dis
tinguished character and services of him
who has presided so fairly, impartally and
courteously over our deliberations. Com
ing here as he did with reputation eN
tending beyond the confines Of this State.
we expected much from him, and not only
have our expectations been realized but
| more than realized,
Mr.. Payson of Portland-At times the
interest in impending questions has been
intense. and yet from the beginning Of the
session to the end have not been aware
of even a breath of criticism upon any act
of him who has presided over Us. Always
kindly and courteous, always fair and i'm
partial. always prompt, able and compe-
tent, he has the respect, esteem and per-
sonal regard of every member of this
House.
Mr. Cbsdbourne-I knew at the COM
m.nc.m.pt of th, session that we yv.r, ia
have sneaker of whom we mi,ht all we'll
be proud. had met him on the floor Of
this House in debate, always courteous,
always gentlemanly' always lar Never
