Nevertheless. as the remark was made. I think it proper at the first opportunity I have had to say a few words about New York. and to philosophize. perhaps. on the question of why the gentleman does not come to or stays away from the city of New York for his ideals. I was particularly sorry to have a criticism from the State of Kentucky. of which State every American citizen ought to be so justly proud. which State was. in fact. the first emigrant State. over whose broad acres flowed the emigrants from the North. South. and East. folming in those early days the first State not based on some colony from across the sea. That mixture of the hardiest type from all our races. as they then were. has produced a race of tall. strong. able men. such. for instance. as the gentleman from Missouri or the gentleman from Kentucky who bears the same name as myself. and so far as personal habit and pulchritude is concerned I would extend the same remarks to the gentleman from Kentucky but for the fact that he was born in Virginia.
