Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Record of the Testimonial Dinner: To Honorable Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois Mr. Humphreys of Mississippi (chairman of the committee). The House will please be in order. I hope no gentleman here to-night has gotten the notion into his head that this is a farewell dinner. We are not here to celebrate any feast of lamentations. Through a long, eventful, patriotic, and high-purposed public career, Mr. Cannon has demonstrated that to lay on him the injunction to fare well would be entirely superfluous. [Applause.] Those of us who have had the good fortune to serve with him through a part of his career have simply gathered here to testify to the high esteem and great respect which we entertain for one of the choice and master spirits of the ace. [Applause.] The only regrets which, under the rules under which we proceed to-night, will not be declared out of order are those I am going to read now. A great number of gentlemen from all parts of the country have written their regrets at their inability to be with us to-night.
