~N'ASS SA UiAO SOf0IuOr, now III In0 Closing
hours OF the session, prevents his attend
ance, and also the absence of senator elect
. Saoln, who, as probably most of you
know, left for the East to-day
At the end of Gen. Sibley's greeting a
general onslaught was made upon the
rich and varied menu as presented above,
which was furnished in lavish abundance,
and provided in that perfection of the
culinary art for which the
name of Col. Allen and the Merchants
hotel is noted as far as st. Paul and
Minnesota is known.
''GENTLEMEN, Ho.'
After some half hour had been passed
in the pleasant and satisfying task of
sampling the items of the bill of fare, and
the knives and forks had begun to move
languidly, Col. Allen with his face all
smiles mounted the band platform, and
fastened to the wall at the base of the half
circle formed by the word Minnesota"
the talismanic word "Ho," formed of ever
greens and bright red tube roses, the
enunciation of which makes Minnesotian
welcome in any part of our country, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific As the audience
caught sight of the brief but
suggestive legend cries of speech"
speech" went up from all parts of
the hall, in response to which
the gallant and irrepressibls colonel, fac
ing the guests, gave the accepted signal,
Gentlemen, ho,' which was met with a
bOisterous clapping of hands.
FEAST OF REASON
~
toast master of the evening, taking posi-
ton opposite Gen. Sibley, near the center
of the hall, and rapping to order, said,
Mr.. President: After such a pleasant
and enjoyable repast, it is very proper to
have an intellectual entertainment, and
have been requested to present to you the
few regular toasts prepared for the occa-
sion. Before doing so, he said he would
read two letters of regrets for inability to
be present. The first letter read was
that of
GOV. HUBBARD,
as follows:
State of Minnesota, Executive Office, st.
Pasl, Feb. 26, 1883.
Z. A. Foggs, ESQ.,, Secretary Chamber of
Commerce: l am in receipt of your note
of this date informing me that 1 have been
selected to respond to toast on the even
ing of the 28th inst. In reply, would say
that deem it probable that public duties
will prevent my presence on the occasion
referred to. 1t is an inopportune time
fer me, just as the legislature
is closing its labors to respond to such a
call. If find it convenient / will be pres
ent, but 1 must ask you not to depend
upon me. Yours, truly, L. F. HUBBARD.
SENATOR sABIN.
in the following terms:
ST. PAUL, Feb. %, 1851. A. FoGG,
SECRETARY ST. PAUL CHAMBER,oF;C ;CoMMERCE.
My DEAk SIR: Previous arrangements,
which l have endeavored to re-arrange by
telegraph, but have been unable to do so,
prevent the acceptance of your kind invi-
tation to attend the banquet this evening,
rendered by the chamber of commerce of
st. Paul. Please express my thanks and
sincere regret.
For the far seeing and energetic busi-
ness men of your beautiful city entertain
very great admiration, and am under
many obligations for the courtesies and
| evidences of esteem heretofore extended
Should it ever be my happy fortune to
have the privilege of reciprocatine
some of these, it will afford me
great pleasure to lend whatever
influence or ability may have toward tht
| general improvement or building up o.
your thriving city. With sentiments Of
kindest appreciation, am very sincerely
yours, D. NJ. SABIN.
| FIRST TOAST.
first regular toast:
The United States government-The creates
achievement of modern times, where manhood
Is the standard of excellence and man the only
! recognized sovereign.
And called upon DR.. David Day to re-
spond in the absence of the distinguishe
officer and patriot, Gen. Terry, who ha
been selected for the purpose.
DR.. Day in prefacing his response, sal
it had been but a few minutes since he ha
been informed that he was expected t
take the place of the dis
tinguished soldier assigned to this
toast-a toast, he said, which to treat @
properly would require Egreat researc
and thought, as in its sentiment is cor
tanned the whole germ of our modern ciY
ilization. In the olden times kings wer
rulers and the masses slaves. This trans
, tion from that condition of affairs to th
present had been almost in the life c
: the present generation. Now ever
man is called citizen, an
they occupy that place in the economy
the world which they make for themselve
A new era, new philosophy has bee
evolved from the inner conscience of maj
kind, and through the providence of Goo
/ man has become the factor
r his own destiny. This destiny is pros

! press on, and make of thi
world a paradise.
The Doctors remarks were heartily al
