My life from that time has been devoted altogether to the
public service. I have, what is commonly expected of men
who represent Massachusetts in the Senate, delivered a good
many literary and historical addresses, and have taken part
in political campaigns, and have occasionally eked out a scanty
salary by some professional work in the vacations. But I
think I may fairly claim that I have done my share of the
work of the Senate and of the House to the best of my ability.
Senator Edmunds when he left the Senate was kind enough to
compliment me by saying that the whole work of the Senate
was done by six men, of whom I was one. I do not suppose
Mr. Edmunds meant the number six to be taken literally. But
he is a gentleman certainly never given to flattery or empty
compliment. So I think I might call him as a witness that,
in his time, so far as hard work is concerned I did my best.
I am not quite so confident that he would testify to the wisdom
of my course on all occasions.
I did not, as I have said, expect when I entered to remain
in public life more than one term.
