abundant supply of fresh water of any city in

abundant supply of fresh water of any city in
| the world.
| Our ta1es are extremely lou, considering what
| we give IN return; we have three ably con.
| Quoted daily papers, besides large number of
commercial, political, religious and literary
weekly papers, all in able hands Our climate,
| the best in New England; our population,
| high-toned, industrious and honest, -eUen in
ct,1ing oar office holders. Of aohdt city can you
| sag as much? Certainly of none can we say
| more. For this charming city and my native
| state have the most sincere love and admlra-
| ton, and a most decided determination to give
my whole heart and earnest efforts to the in
| terests of both l am confident from careful
| study of all the facts, that in no state In the
| American Union is the average of success SO
| high as it is in Maine Then why leave it?
Let us teach our children these facts and keep
| them at home. We often hear OF great sue
| cess of some of the sons of Maine in the West,
| while we hear nothing from the thousands who
| leave their native state to drag out miserable
| existence in some distant place. Some people
are always in the wrong place; you will never
| meet drone or sluggard, or constitutional
| growler that will not charge all of his lack of
| success to the locality where he lives. 1t
| would be folly to claim that God had bestowed
| all his blessings on any one locality L am con
| fident he mas given us our full measure; with
| that we should be both thankful and content.
| Entertaining these views earnestly appeal to
| you to stand by your city and your state. l
never hear a Boston man clarifying Boston,
| that do not admire his local pride and loyalty
| to his city. That unceasing devotion of Massa-
| chusetts men to their State and its chief COM
| mercial city is the grandest trait of their
| character, and has made Massachusetts podel
| state and Boston a model city. Let us thus
! far initiate their good example, and cherish an
| abiding love for our good state, with its
| charming scenery, pleasant valleys, mountains,
| lakes and rivers its lovely towns and villages,
| and enterprisng cities, and especially for its
| industrious, honest, intelligent and generous
| people. Let US give our whole hearts to our
| industrial and commercial interests, and there
can be no possible doubt that our city and state
| will both rapidly increase in population, wealth
and prosperity.
| The chairman then introduced Governor
| Dingley as a man who had made it his life
work to sustain the industries of Maine. The
Governor spoke as follows:
GOVERNOR DINGLEY's REMARKS.
Mr.. Chairman and Felzow C1tizens:-lt
| affords me unusual pleasure to be able to be
| present at the Inauguration of this industrial
| exhibition, personally, as citizen who takes a
| deep interest in whatever concerns the welfare
| of my fellow citizens, and officially as the
| executive of the state. l am gratified to have
| the opportunity to look upon the evidences of
| the prosperity of her chief commercial city,
| displayed in this hall, and to listen to the re-
| cital of SO graphic and comprehensive his
| tory of her industrial progress, as has been
| made by the distinguished gentleman who has
| just delivered the opening address.
| For many years the people of this state have
| looked with pride and satisfaction upon Port
| land as their chief commercial city, and have
| felt hOnOred by the energy and enterprise
shown by her citizens. Tonight, your city,
| which has beef so pre-eminent in the pursuits
| of trade and commerce, presents to the state at
| large. the evidences of her successful Inaugural
ton of industrial enterprise; and by the variety
| and extent of her contributions in this direc-
| tion at once establishes her position as one of
our leading manufacturing as we'll as CONNER
| cial cities. l had known something of your
activity in this field of enterprise, but was
| not prepared for so large and varied an exhibit
| ton of your manufactures as crowd this hall.
| You may we'll take pride in such demon
stration of your activity and enterprise in this
| field of industry. 1t is the earnest of future
| growth and prosperity in this direction, which
is to surpasss even that of the past. In behalf
| of the people of Maine, desire to thank you
| for such an illustration of the possibilities of
our native state Without the accessories of
water power, you have shown by your energy
and perseverance that our state has rare faclli-
| ties for manufacturing enterprises; and have
| demonstrated that the secret of our prosperity
| lies in the development of the abundant re-
| sources which nature has given US.
| This exhibition will serve as an example and
ncitemenv to other cities aud towns, and can
| but arouse new interest in the Inauguration
of those manufacturing enterprises which will
| yet make Maine one of the most prosperous
states of the union. With these successful,
| agriculture and commerce will flourish as ever
before. Nature has designed Maine for the
| great manufacturing state of the Union.
She has given us more than fifteen hu ndred
lakes situated at an average elevation of six
hundred feet above the sea, which form tine
sources of five thousand streams; which in
their rush to the ocean furnish three thousa sd
water powers, exerting a force measu red by
one million horse power; eXerting the working
energy of thirteen millions of men. No like
extent of territory the face of the earth
equals ours in the extent, the constancy and
| the value OF its water power With such law
ish gifts of nature, we only need the same en-
ergy and enterprise applied to the de velopment
OF our resources in all parts of the state which
| you have displayed in your goodly city, to make
| our native state what God intended her-the
| seat of American manufacturing industry.
| Allow me in closing to propose a sentiment,
1.-THE city of Portland-if you seek the evil
denees of her prosperity, look around you.'

marks the chairman announced the exhibition
