out referring to Senator Sabin.
Maj. Camp representing the lumber
interests, said he would make no excuse
as did the others. He had long before
known a gathering of this kind
could not get along without a speech
from him, and hence he came prepared
The major spoke eloquently upon the
qualities of the senator elect, and was fol
lowed by
P. Il. KELLY,
of st. Paul, representing the commercial
interests of the state. He began his adj
dress by recounting his experience as a
citizen of Minneapolis twenty-five years
ago. He had much for which to offer his
thanks to the people of Minneapolis. He
was like the pioneer in the contest-he
didn't care copper whether the dog wag-
ged the tail, or the tail wagged the dog
He had never entered into any of the local
prejudices.
The speaker having referred humorously
to Col. W. S. King, that gentleman was
called out. Col. King gave one of his
characteristic addresses. He returned Mr..
Kelly's hits with interest, and kept the
gathering in commissions of laughter. He
felt deal better than when he had come
to the banquet. He had been of the opinion
that the man who represented the state
during twenty-four years, etc.,-and here
he threw in an amount Of sweet taffy for
Window. To have continued him, he
thought, was in the interests of the state,
but during the evening he had learned that
there were other elements of craftsmanship
than those possessed by Window, which
can perhaps better work for the govern
ment interests of our state, and was now
prepared to congratulate the legislature
upon their choice and the state upon the
acquisition.
He is the best man that we could send to
the senate of the United States for the
coming six years.
COL. BENTON
represented the bar. He stated that as he
was the only one who had not filled his
wine glass, it could be safely said he re-
presented another kind of a bar. He
thought the people were entitled to con-
gratulations upon the choice of MIR. Sabin.
He had never before known such unanimi-
ty of good feeling upon the selection of a
senator. He believed the senator-elect
would prove loyal to st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Saltwater alike, loyal to the interest
of the state and the great Northwest, but
he will also be loyal to
the whole country. He could not
say how perfectly satisfied he was with Mr..
Sabin's election. The colonel concluded
in high tariff spread eagle effort which
created much merriment.
A. B. NETTLEToN,
of the Tribune, represented the press. He
made polished and smooth address, and
at times was humorous. He was glad to
join in the congratulations, not only of
Senator Sabin upon his election, but the
state of Minnesota upon the able represen-
tation promised in the choice.
G. K. Shaw, of the Journal followed. At
one time he had supposed that he
was the first to predict
Senator Sabin's election, but at the present
occasion he had changed his mind. He
had found no less than seventeen men who
had predicted Mr.. Sabin's election prior to
July 4. He had also marked how wonder
fully Mr.. Sabin had improved as states
man since his election. Before he had
been called a machine politician, but now
is at the top of the ladder. Mr.. Shaw
closed his remarks in a few anecdotes
which caught the house and a promise that
if Window came up as candidate SIX
years hence he would make it interesting
for him.
SPEAKER FLETCHER
was next called out. He had come
prepared to make a speech which should
be particularly an eulogy upon Mr.. Win
dom, because he believed that ninety per
cent. of his constituents had wished his
selection, but after listening to the re-
marks during the evening he had become
aware that his set speech had been knocked
into the head. In fact he was now re-
joiced at the result. He was only sorry he
had not given Mr.. Sabin his support.
THos. LOwRY's
name excited an ovation of applause and
cheers, and as he rose to his feet the entire
assembly also sprang to their feet.
Everybody is familiar with the wit and
humor of Mr.. Lowry, and on this occasion
he did himself proud.
Mr.. Stickney was the next to be called
out. After humorous Introductory he
paid glowing tribute to Mr.. Sabin. He
felt confident that he was little more
familiar with Mr.. Sabin, and knew him
more thoroughly than most of those who
had preceded him upon the floor. If it is
the idea of the people that Mr.. Sabin will
go to the senate as a business man-that
is, trader-the people are
simply mistaken in their man. Mr.. Sabin
is what he understands a statesman to be-
Ex-Mayor Rand being called upon, made
brief speech in his own peculiar style.
Geo. A. Pillsbury, representing the city
council, next rendered his compliments
Although he, too, was formerly Window
man, he believed Senator Sabin would soon
outstrip him as statesman. The festivi-
ties closed with three rousing cheers for
Senator Sabin, when the gathering dis
persed.
