I need hardly express to you, to each and all, my profound appre- ciation of the generous thought implied in your presence on this occasion. You come here not to exult over the issue of any party contest ; you come to testify your admiration of a great character, who, you are pleased to believe, has been well placed before his countrymen and posterity. I am devoutly grateful to God for having permitted me to see the end of my appointed task; and while life remains to me, I shall cherish the mem...ory of your sympathies and congratulations. 32 COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO Senator Hoar: Among the most brilliant periods of the civic history of Boston, and among the most brilliant periods of the civic history of Massachusetts, must be counted the administration of the mayor and of the gov- ernor, Alexander H.
