He then “heard the call of the wild, the chirp of the chick and the peep of the bull-frogs and went to live in the silent halls of Harwinton.” There, after several vears of seclusion, he “‘came back" and was elected to a state oifice, where he is now ‘‘dispenser of the gold.” He referred to State Comp- troller Morris’ C. Webster. Before permitting the speaker to continue, Toastmaster Wright told an interes ing fact about the naming of Har- winton.

The worst disappointment of lis life, he said, was when Fremont was nomination as he first nominee of the republican party for president. Abraham Lincoln won and Mr. Webster is now glad, for he feels sure that had Fremont, the vain- est man of his day, been elected the good old republican party would have gone up in smoke. “T have lived life as fully: as said Mr. Webster, and I will live it to the end. But honors, offi- ces, monuments-——nothing—friends, everything. He who has friends is." rich.” The speaker said he is accused of being a politician but | he denied the allegation and chal- lenged anybody to look up his record and see how many men he had ever asked to vote for him. He always he- lieved in letting men vote according to the dictate of their conscience. Signs Name 422 Tmes.
