Nr. BOYNTON: Mr. President, or
Wednesday last I caused 70 be read into
the record OF this Senate some matters
extracts quoted from the remarks OF
the President and from the records o!
the Governor and Council When / die
that It was my intention, and my inten-
ton only, TO add another act 10 the pass
Ing political comedy, as l SO considered
s., and without the slightest intention o.
huyn!liatng anyone. Little at that time
did 1 dream that any one would SO con
slider it. Doubtless had I given i, little
more consideration should not have
done il.
Now / want TO say that have known
the President Of the Senate ever since ]
first came here, and between him and
myself has grown up a strong friendship
and / would sooner lose my right hand
than that any intentional act OF mine
should cause him humiliation. / have
admired him for his honesty, his integn
ty and his uprightness. and have looked
forward to the time when I should leave
this Senate and in my onward patf
through life look back with pleasure or
my association with Ira G. Hersey.
To the members Of this Senate.-many
Of you may take practically the sans
view. and you have some right to, thai
the President has taken.-but / asked Of
you unanimous consent to present a mat
ter here which / thought l explained
but perhaps I did not
want to say to you that ii was no
my intention, it never will be my inten.
ton, to abuse the privileges which tht
Senators have granted me, or may here
after grant me. I want TO be fair to all
and 1 say this Of my own free will, and
as what l consider an act OF justice
(Applause.)
The PRESIDENT: The Chair wishe:
to state that know the sentiments o.
every senator present. We thank Sen

way in which he has explained this mat
ter. We feel that he has done justice t.
himself, JuSUce 10 INC fTeSiueUt ana JUS
