th a position of trust commensurate with his talents and deserts. He entered the Governor's office in 1894 and administered its duties with a fidelity and ability which sustained the best traditions of the Commonwealth and earned for him the respect of every class of his constituents. Thereafter he never left the shades of private life. He survived to see his beloved State well started on a new era of prosperity and happiness, and he died in 1895 leaving a name as free from stain as the skies that bend in Indian Summer above his native mountains. Such, in pregnant brevity, is the life record of the gallant officer, honest gentleman, patriotic citizen, whose memory we are here tonight to honor and perpetuate. His epitaph might be written as of one Who never shirked a duty, evaded an obligation, paltried with the truth, quailed before a danger, nor betrayed a trust. Commander, through you, I now give to the guardianship of Lee Camp the portrait of General James L. Kemper.
