Too Long; Didn't Read

Mr. Clemens visited Albany on February 27 and 28, 1901. The privileges of the floor were granted to him and he was asked to make a short address to the Senate. MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN,—I do not know how to thank you sufficiently for this high honor which you are conferring upon me. I have for the second time now enjoyed this kind of prodigal hospitality—in the other House yesterday, to-day in this one. I am a modest man, and diffident about appearing before legislative bodies, and yet utterly and entirely appreciative of a courtesy like this when it is extended to me, and I thank you very much for it.
