SPEAKER BACON’S ADDRESS ON
THE ADJOURNMENT.
Speaker Bacon addressed the house as
follows:
Gentlemen of the House of Represen*
tatives: Our official duties have ended
. an(l our record is made up. Our labors
have been exceedingly arduous and wea-
No house of representatives
within my experience has had so great
<an amount of yfork imposed upon it.
Besides the numerous elections to prop
erly deal with which would require the
time of an ordinary session, the amount
,o. legislative matter acted upon has
bean immense Over twelve hundred
hills have been considered in this house
The large majority of these have not
originated with us but with the peopl e
at homo. They have considered these
measures important to the interests, and
in the exercise of their guaranteed con
stitutional right to appeal to the gov
ernment they have asked us to enact
them as laws; and we, as the law-mak
ing powers would have been false to our
luty and recreant to our trust if we had
refused to examine into their requests
and to supply their proper needs. This
has been n hardworking, industrious
legislature. During all the summer heat
jn the midst of great personal discomfort
and to many at much inconvenience, the
members in the halls, and-in their com
mittee rooms, have labored unceasingly
night and day with this mountain of leg
sladon ; and if my judgment is of any
value, I wish to say here that no body
of men of equal size and restricted to the
samo methods of procedure could have
properly disposed ot the work in loss
time. No idling has been hero; little
or no unnecessary discussion has been
hero; but there hag been a great deal
of hard, steadily work. In the difficulty
of reconciling conflicting opinions some
important measures have failed, and
lome measures supported by decided
majorities have been lost because of the
Constitutional provision which requires
eighty-eight affirmative votes in this
house and twouty- three affirmative votes
in the son-to ‘for the passage of a bill.
But in spito of all failures, that which
has been accomplished will contribute
much to fcho progress and development
of the state.
To me personally this is the close of a
long legislative service, I cannot with
sever an official relation
which lias xisted for so long a tjme that
n lias UGcome as it were a part of my ev
ry-daybfe. For .me there cluster in
liis bell tbo of twelve ses
sions. Since thpiy began what a change
has been wrought jn the condition of the
state. Then all was (Joubt, distrust and
uncertainty; but iep by step at each
succeeding session'those measures were
adopted which have brought order, con
fidence and a superb public credit, I
know that it is common thing to depre
cfate the office and the work of a state
legislator; but it is a depreciation which
flows from a mistaken and an inconsider
ate judgment, for lie deals with measures
which most nearly concern the dearest
interest of the person and property of the
citizen. And in this—which is probably
jhe last word that I shall over utter as a
inember of the general assembly of this
slate—l desire to say that while I claim
no peculiar credit to myself in the ac
complishment of this great work, I shall
ever cherish and prize the reccollection
that it was my fortune to assist those
who lifted the state from the depths cf
her adversity and trial to her present
proud position of prominence among her
sister stales.
And during tlfeso past few days, when
tha realization lias pressed home upon
mo that my services here was drawing
to a final close, my memory has been
busy in recalling the many scenes
through which here have passed, and
die many hundreds >.' those with whom
I have come in and gone out in the dis
charge of public duty. Most of them
have return, ,o tbo honored stations of
private life, somo having been transferr
ed to more prominent if not more use
ful positions in pul lie life, while others
of them have crossed the waters of the
r iver,
Bat gentlemen, I trespass upon the
timoof this final hour. With it will
practically cense ouv connections with
fellow-legislators. The calls of our bus
bies* interests, raid t-hcry earnings for the
home greetings that await us to begone;
but believe me that amidst the business
and pleasures of home there will come
the quiet ho -s in w. ioh our thoughts
will reel rr 10 ; icse scenes, and memo
ry will again people this hall with the
forms of those whom we have been so
actively associated. Then will we know
v hat wo now to rap arfectly realize, the
strength and t ndernass of the attach
ments which irvo here been formed.
The noise of die contention will then
have been hushed and the divisions and
rivalries will have ceased and in the
heart and memory will survive the
friendships which have her* had birth
and development.
Gentleman, I hesitate to pronounce
the final word, for that word will finally
•ever the official relation that hinds me
to you, -IPoov -confidenee, yonr wuppruf
and your forbeance have made this rela
tion a very pleasant one to me. During
all the years there will remain the re
collection of your unvarying kindness,
and while the official tie must be sever
ed, I trust that there may never be bro
ken the golden links of friendship which
bind us together. Gentlemen I thank
you most sincerely for your generous con
fidence and for your unnumbered acts
of official personal favor and kindness,
and wishing to each of you all I bid you
farewell. I now declare the house ad
journed without a day.
