address of Welcome

After doing ample justice to the supper Mr..
Davis called the guests to order ard introduced
the veteran editor, Major t. M. Newson, who
delivered the following address of welcome:
MIR. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: In
1854 twenty-five years, or quarter of CEN
tury ago, there were seven editors in the Tet-
rttory, now State of Minnesota, viz: John P.
Owens, of the Minnesotian, David Olmstead of
the Democrat, Earle 8 Goodrich. of the Pioneer,
myself OF the Times, Mr.. Ludwig, of Ger
man paper, Judge Atwater, of the st. Anthony
EGprcss, and John Holland, of the Sbakopee
A'yus. Or these, three are dead; four are liv-
ing. Then Saint Paul had population of
about 1000; Minnesota not to exceed $4,000.
Now there are about $50 editors in the State;
st. Paul has 1000 people, and the Common
wealth 10000. At the time I speak of, there
was no minneapolis. st.. Anthony was
the big town outside of st. Paul
on the north, and Itasca-now with
one house--the next biggest city. Shakopee
!oomed up IN the Minnesota valley as the lead
ing CITY, while st. Peter was plain; Mankato
and Winona were in swaddling clothes: Fari
bault was dream; st. Cloud existed in the
brain of George f. Brott, while Saltwater was
laying claims to the third large CITY in this.
their almost unknown Northwest. Great have
been the changes and rapid has been the march
OF civilization in the past quarter of century.
Minneapolis has grown to rival the capital
city. Mankato, Winona, Red Wing, Saltwater,
st. Cloud, Rochester and other places are loom
ing up into metropolitan life, counting their
1900 and $4,000 population. Minnesota has
grown from an importing people Of the neces-
sarles OF lie to an exporting people OF millions

tiny is onward.
/ came from the little State of
Connecticut, where l was educated
know, is, or was, noted for its wooden nutmegs
and wooden oats, and sometimes think, since
have been in the West, for its wooden men.
Now had never been outside of the limits of
this little State, and to me it was big institu-
ton; but fate pressed me beyond its narrow
limits, and took passage in the cars on the
broad guage of the Erie road and the almost
boundless country which the vision swept sent
my heart humping and humping inside of its
easement. arrived at Buffals !; took passage
on the Michigan Southern road for Chicago;
drank in the grand and glorious praries; walked
the streets of the growing city; and every min
ute Connecticut grew smaller; my heart grew
larger and larger, and if it were possible to
realize that an editor had a soul, mine must
have become elevated in the immensely of
country, which, for the first time, met my
vision. There were no railroads then, beyond
Rockford, Illinois. SO we staged it across to the
Mississippi river to Dubuque, took passage on
the steamer Nominee, and we rounded the
bend in the river and caught glimpse of St.
Paul the buttons burst from my coat and my
heart expanded into full conception of this
great western country. Then, we tender-feet
or pilgrims, climbed the hills to see where the
sun went down, for surely thought we must
be at the end of the world; but beyond was
vast plain. Years afterwards we travelled this
plain 1000 miles northwest from St. Paul, and
marked the point where must arise western
empire to sway the destinies of this great re-
pulic.
Now, as understand it. this excursion of these
editors, from these great wheat plains is not
much frolic as an occasion of expansion.
They come to SEE the immensely of our own
State-to mark the rapid development of our
cities-to catch the inspiration of the hundred
railroad trains which come and go at the bid
ding of genius and capitalize enlarge the WIS.,
ionic crowd down prejudice and permit mag
nanimity to guide their pens in what they may
have to say after these scenes have faded from
material view. To know, to realize, one must
see. TO see, one must travel. If Connecticut
to me once was large it is fly speck now on the
great map of the continent; and if some of you
imagine you have seen it all, take down the
blinds; open the door of your intellect; let in
tho sunlight of reason and sense and intelle-
gence, and expand that you may not only
burst all the buttons from your clothes, but
split even the soles-of your shoes.
The press of this city, the proprietors OF this
magnificent hotel, the railroad companies the
lake scenes, the grand unsalted sea which holds
the golden key of commerce, all extend to you
a hearty, sincere, a generous welcome, for,
remember, !.

The whole boundless continent is ours.

MILES VICTORY.
Sitting Bull and His Followers Completely
Demoralized-No More Hostile Move
ments to be made on American Territory
Stolen Property to be Returned, etc.

Gen. Terry received dispatch from Gen.
Miles, which is confrmatory of the gratifying
news communicated fow days ago of the
successful result of the expedition against
Sitting Bull. Gen. Miles report is dated the
2lst ult., from Rock Greek, and details his
further movements since Sitting Bull and
horde were stampeded across the line into
British territory. The most important infor-
nation conveyed is the statement that Major
Walsh, of the Northwestern Mounted Police,
British troops,) accompanied by Long Dog,
the hostile Indians, had visited his camp.
These gave the fullest information
about Sitting Bull and his camp and their
movements. Major Walsh says the Indians
were completely demoralized by their fight
with Miles and his rapid approach on the main
camp. Their fight into Canada is likened to a
complete rout. Long Dog says they wanted to
get out of the way, and that's about the extent
of his confession. The report is made that the
hostiles scattered after crossing the boundary
and have gone to establish several camps
among lot of lakes about so miles northof the
line. Assurances were given Gen. Miles both
by Major Walsh and Long Dog that the hostile
conjous, Ogallallahs, Sans Arcs and other
tribes had held council, at which
it was decided that no more hostile movements
will be made On the American territory; all
these tribes agreed to send no more raiding
parties across the border, and that all stolen
property brought into their camp from across
the line will be returned. Hereafter they de-
termined not to hunt the buffalo on American
soil, unless permitted under superintendent ce
of American officials.
Long Dog expresses himself us satisfied with
the situation as forced upon them by Gen.
Miles, and that all the hostiles, numbering be-
tween 5000 and 5000 people, will adhere to
their resolve about not attempting to raid. even
in detached bands. into America. Major
Walsh believes that all apprehension of future
trouble can be discarded, as very salutary
lesson has been taught the indians by Gen.
Miles command and operations.
In brief the Indians have determined to re-
main in Canada under British authority, and
in the future offer no molestation to Ameri-
cans or our friendly Indians.

Light Vote but the Usual Democratic Ma
jOrity Maintained.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 5.-rhe Courier Journal
has unofficial and definite returns from about
fifty counties, which shows about one-third
falling off in the aggregate vote but about the
usual Democratic majority. The Republicans
have made legislative gains but the general as
sembly, that two years ago was ia Democrat
ic on joint ballot, continues Democratic by
over 100. Blackburn's majority for Governor
is variously estimated at from 10000
to 100000 The vote recommending
call for constitutional union, though sup
ported by both parties, has undoubtedly failed
of the required constitutional majority. The
election was unusually quiet all over the State,
no serious difficulty being reported. The
Greenbackers have certainly elected two men,
bers of the lower house of the legislature, but
their aggregate vote is insignificant. In this
county Blackburn gets 1851, Evans 4.049. At
the last gubernatorial race McCrary, Democrat,
received 9. 706; Harlem Republican, 7,l60.
