tlie packed galleries and the members
of tbe house for tlie valedictory For

was tho most touching human farewell
address ever delivered from the speak-
er's cliair
Speaker Henderson said:
“Gentlemen of the Hougo of Repre-
sentatives: An age spent under j this
dome must give opportunity for form-
ing many and strong lies Constituted
ns I have been from childhood friend-
ship is an essential element of my life’s
food and whether on the floor or in
tlie chair I have found a bountiful
supply in this hall I have seen beau-
tiful and instructive things on this
floor sharp able feeling debate and
debate gentlemen is the foundation
and sustaining potVcr of American lib-
erty Rut I have seen both sides of
this chamber as one man put ti mil-
lion dollars into the bands of the chief
magistrate and say ’lead on’without a
dissenting voice I say that from that
hour I have believed that there was no
future moment when disintegration
could come to this republic' And when
I saw the young men from every state
in the union touching elbow to elbow
and rushing into the ranks of war
there was absolute confirmation of that
belief- - - - ‘ ’ -
“I have no fears for tlie future of my
country Let no one be disturbed by
the battles on tills floor As I said
they arc guarantees of freedom and I
approve of them At times there mny
be scars left but they are not scars
that leave a permanent cripple they
are scars that leave tlie soul and man-
hood without a dangerous wound For
one go where I may from this liall I
shall carry With me in my heart an
affectionate recollection of the friends
that I have met here and I do not
know of one enemy
“I am not going to give counsel to
this body further thaD to say that
there is nolliing more precious tlian
tliis government for us ' to fight for
Preserve that if you love your life ' It
is more valuable than anything that
can be named Go on with the rough
and tumble battles of legislation but
keep your eye on that flag which God
asks us to die for '
“That gavel in my hand has never
been defied by either side of this cham-
ber 'It is a pleasure to say that It
always lias secured obedience in the
recognition when order was demanded
“Now gentleineu if I know my feel-
ings toward this ' body of men I know
that I shall carry with me through life
the image of this hour with its general
approval and treatment of me I shall
carry every one of your faces in ray
memory and I si Kill never cease to feel
an interest in this great body which
stands so near to the happiness of my
eoxintrymen And now I Lid you good-
bye” Suddenly there blossomed out of the
republican side as if by magic a forest
of American flags Waving these aloft
the members sang “America” the gal-
leries rising en masse to join in the
chorus It was a stirring bcene As
the notes of the hymn died away the
speaker who had seemingly forgotten
to make the final announcement turn-
ed as if to leave the chair when he was
reminded by the clerk at his side lie
turned and in a clear voice declared
the house adjourned sine die
