Gentlemen of Uio Convention:

I t la iny desire Hist of all to express to you, and through you to the republicans of t h e counties which you represent , my full appreciation of the honor which you have seen fit this day to accord me, To be aga in returned from this s t roug re­publican constituency without a single word of dissent lu any county is an ei -dorsement and vote of confidence < f which any man may well be proud.

And I desire upon this .occasion to tit like an accounting to you UB one of t h e par ty ' s representatives of the work done In the legislature.

lu the twilight of Thursday evening, April 21. l'Mi, the friends watching by the bedside of Mrs. Edward P. Water-bury, saw t h a t she had passed beyond t h e sunset. Mrs. Waterbury had been III Tor five months. At the last a bald­ening of the ar ter ies was the cause of groat suffering. She was tenderly oared for by her only surviving daughter , Miss Sarah M. Waleibuiy . Mrs. Waterbury was truly a home-maker, Her loving earn sheltered lier own family and reached out to many others . She hud a keen in­sight of character and a quick HHJSO of humor, She had an untiring devotion to her friends.

The service held a t her late home, !)B Chestnut etreel, Albany, last Sabbath af­ternoon, was a loving iouni'>u of those who had been encouraged and sustained by her kindness and her " good deeds which she did." The breath of the Eis -ter lilies and of the violet cross that cov­ers her grave Is not more fragrant than t i e sweet memory of J a n e McKeulstry Waterbury.

came beforo the leglslaluio of 11)03 were wisely and properly settled. During the present session If no other aot stood to the credi t of ihe legislature for I ho year 1904, the solution of the unification of the two educational departments alone would reflect unending credit ou the legislature.. I t Is a subjoot which It has been at­tempted to set t le for the past 10 years and by reason of the divergent views, and much bit terness of opinion held by the friends both, of the Regents and.of Uio Super intendent of Public Ins t ruct ion, It has beon surrounded by seemingly un-sunuountab lo difficulties, but I believe tha t all of the best educators of the State believe t h a t the solution reached by the present legislature was wise and judi­cious and o;io whloh it few years will show was carefully formulated; and through i t all the men who are respon­sible for t h e solution of t h a t question had|ln mind as a guiding pt iuclple that the common school system of this S ta te Is a t the basis of all good government, nutl t h a t whatever Inteifercfl with the contin­uance of t he present common school sys­tem must give way.

And no t only has this question been wisely and well settled, but lu addition there to Increased appropriations have boon grouted for the purpose of the com­mon schools , ahd as a roBult of numer­ous pet i t ions from tho rural sections of t h e Sta te , additional provision has been m a d e for t h e maintenance of the distr ict Bohool l ibraries, to the end that not only tl»Q school children but also the parents who reside within these districts should have it good homo library, so tha t good reading could bo enjoyed by tho farmer lu tho rura l school district as well as tho more for tunate oltlssen who resides In tho Village whore by public and private mu-hlllcenoe public libraries have beon es­tablished. No t content with these pro­visions for education, tho representa­t ives of the rura l districts bunded them­selves toge ther and forced through an unwilling legis la ture a suitable appro-prjatlon for tho establishment, of a col­lage of agr icul ture , so that when tho boy from tho farm deolt'od to acquire more of education than could be obtained In t h e common school district, ho might bo able to a t tend tin InstItulIon of learning, whoro Instead of bolug oduoaloil away from tho furui u m l made dlseallslloil with h i s home surroundings, ho might bo eduotttod so as to beoomo a butter farmer and a bettor oltlswii and rol.urn again to t he sumo suiroundlngii from whloh ho wont to uoliego, and by vi r tue of hla education bo u, better elllsion In IIIB communi ty , content with his life work.

I n response to the demands from Now York Olty, reasonable provision has boon nmilo to expedi te tho trial of lawsuits in t h a t olty and tho Important bills reaom-ineuulutl by t he laws delay oommiaalon h a v e boou uont to tho Governor and In o u r relat ions with our Metropolitan.
