spect to his memory.

Mr.. Plummer of Penobscot: Mr..
President: This message from the
Governor is well timed and in every
respect appropriate. 1t is fitting that
we should pause in the midst of the
work of the session upon which we
have entered to note the departure
from the mortal sight of men of one
who was, perhaps, the most honored,
beloved and venerated of
any of the old time public men who
We're left among us.
1t was my fortune to meet Senator
Bradbury at the time Of the commence
ment exercises Of the college which ne
loved, every year since my graduation,
and during the several years of my
service in the Legislature | have had
frequently to take him by
the hand and to listen to his keen, wise
and instructive comments on the queS-
tons Of the hour. and to his most in
teresting and charming "reminiscences
of the stirring and historic events in
which he took part. and Of those giants
Of our national public life who We're his
colleagues and associates when in his
prime he served the State of Maine in
the highest parliamentary body in the
world. Hence the absence of his ia
,niliar and venerable figure in the
streets of this Capital city, which was
his home. and in these halls which he
was wont frequently to visit will be to
me a personal loss. as | have no doubt
t will be to all whose duties in the past
have brought them hither.
Mr. Bradbury in the Seniality and
roriiality of his intercourse with his
fellow men, no matter whether OF high
or low estate, in his bright clean and
charming personality. in his old-time
grace and warmth of manner,
in his appreciation Of the true, the
beautiful and the good. in the purity
and elevation of his thought, and in
his fidelity to his convictions was one
Of the most remarkable men | have
ever known. And. when YOU have add
ed TO this the veneration which is due
