Now, my friends, it may be said
that all these statements refer to the
past. and that what chiefly interests
YOU is my future course. 1t Is en-

with tangible events and facts, while
the future is wholly indefinite and
deals with anticipations and promi-
ses. and it is a trite saying that the
only way to Judge Of the future is by
the lessons Of the past. My friends, /
am not willing, however, to plant e
myself upon such nebulous plat :
form as this, and hasten to say, in O
conclusion, tha. it is my intention |
in the future, so far as my constit- +
uents are concerned, to carry out the
same program as in the past, and
that in other matters which may
come before Congress | propose, to
the best of my ability and in the ex :
