The committee appointed to report to the Senate resolutions respecting the death of ex-Governor Carpenter beg leave to report the amended resolutions:
Resolved, By the Senate: That we have heard with sorrow of the death of ex-Governor Carpenter, and we herewith record our great appreciation of his public services as teacher, legislator, soldier, congressman and governor.
We know that none has held higher ideals, and few have been more effective in the upbuilding of good government in this commonwealth. His earnest and Christian life, combined with an uncommon prudence and foresight brought to him the good will and confidence of all.
The great influence of Governor Carpenter was acquired solely by his worth, and we now see in his public utterances and in the enactments secured by him how fully he recognized the necessities of Iowa, and how accurately he anticipated remedial legislation.
On the death of this pioneer citizen and lawmaker, Iowa suffers the loss of a just man who to the full measure has done his state and nation a service that endures, be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions be entered in the Journal, and that the President of the Senate send to the widow of Governor Carpenter a duly authenticated copy of all Journal entries respecting these memorial exercises.
THOS. D. HEALY,
W. F. HARRIMAN,
L. R. BOLTER,
Committee.
