condition to talk this morning, but l re
turn to the members of the House who
have so kindly remembered me my sincere

But accept the chair with great deal OF
thanks and so long as l shall live ! shall
not only enjoy sitting in that chair but
shall enjoy the thoughts OF those who have
presented 1t to me 50 kindly. 1t is true
that have been in the Legislature foi

presented this chair to me many, many
| times, and with these few remarks and
feeling as do nearly sick. will close by
thanking you anew. (Applause.)
