The Statesman Overcome by the Remark
able Testimonial of Popular Esteem of
His Upright Political Career.

Boston, March 2S-Few men at the
close of long political career are honored
with so great tribute to their worth,
ability and integrity as was Hon. Henry

senator from the commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts The tribute was in the form OF
a complimentary dinner to the ex-senator,

three cheers.

as he slowly rose, grasped the back of a
chair for support. Then amid the ovation
| he received he managed partially to regain
control Of himself, and slowly and in a
husky voice returned thanks in most
eloquent words.
IT was a fitting farewell 10 30 years In the
service Of his state The warm grasp OF
the hand and the sincere words Of gratula-
tion which he had received at the reception
I'm the early evening had convinced him Of
the place hs holds in the hearts Of his fel-
