I esteem it no common honor to be called to fill a position that has been filled in the past by some of the most eminent and distinguished citizens of this ancient Commonwealth, to be called to preside over a body such as always constitutes the Massachusetts House of Representatives. And, gentlemen, at the threshold allow me to congratulate you upon the auspicious day upon which you assemble : the beautiful brightness of this day bespeaks for us the kind of record we may make. I congratulate you none the less upon the condition in which we to-day find the country of which we are a part. While a war cloud, to some extent, has settled over the Old World, we dwell in the broad borders of peace. While want and depression affect the communities of Europe, we are started, I trust, upon a bright era of prosperity that has been unequalled in the past career of the land. But, gentlemen, at this hour I would not weary you with a speech. May the session be brief; and, that the Chair may do its part to-day in making it so, it desires to have its address to you of that nature. Thanking you for the honor which you have seen fit to confer upon me, I await further business. On motion of Mr. Pickman of Lowell, — Clerk elected.
