Excerpt from Proceedings of the Senate and Assembly of the State of New York, in Relation to the Death of Ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling, Held at the Capitol, May 9, 1888
It is, sir, but nine years ago since, in this room, I nominated him for Senator of the United States. I did it then with pleasure and with pride. With grief and sorrow I now announce his death, and I beg leave, sir, to submit the following resolutions, which I will read myself:
Resolved, That the Assembly learns with deep sorrow of the death of Hon. Roscoe Conkling.
Resolved, That his distinguished public services, his high standard of public honor, and his official and personal integrity, merit the acknowledgment of the people of this State.
Resolved, That as Representative and Senator in Congress he won the admiration of his colleagues and the plaudits of the nation.
Resolved (if the Senate concur). That a joint committee, consisting of five Senators and nine Members of the Assembly, be appointed by the presiding officers of the respective Houses, to prepare a suitable memorial of the public services of the deceased orator and statesman, and to report to the Legislature what further action shall be taken in order to pay to his memory the respectful tribute of their sorrow.
Resolved, That out of respect to his memory this House do now adjourn.
The resolution, by a rising vote, was unanimously adopted.
