FEEDING THE BODY.
At this point Judge McCleur announced
carried out would be extended indefinitely,
as good many speakers were yet to be
heard. But it was also on the programme
to feed their guests, but their accommoda-
tons were limited to sixty or seventy at
time, and the first installment would now
be escorted to the Sawyer house, the others
to remain in their seats, and this course
would be pursued until all
had been served. AS the
first contingent filed out of the hall, the
band gave lively air. Order restored,
HON. ]. e. CHILDs,
of jackson, was introduced and said he
would be indeed happy if he was capable
of employing fitting terms in which to ex-
press himself in regard to this ovation.
But as he could not, he should fall back
upon the old family principle, ga child

HON. VIM. GRIMsHAw,
of Minneapolis, said that in the presence
of so many orators he could not be expect
ed to lift up his voice. AS was
well known the majority of
the Hennepin delegation favored
the reelection of the present senator, but
the legislature had willed it otherwise, and
though many were disappointed, all could
Join heartily in this splendid ovation. For
himself, he had supported until the clos
men in the state, but his
second choice to whom he finally went, was
your distinguished and popular fellow
toInsman, Hon. D. M. Sabin.
HON. S. G. COMsTOCK,
state senator from Clay county, said he had
once heard the remark that Saltwater con-
tanned more men of wealth than any city of
its size in the Union. It might also have been
added that she had more handsome women
and enterprising business men. He lived
on the extreme western boundary of the
state, but the hum of the machinery man
ufactured in your city is heard all
about me and far beyond to the
shores of the Pacific, giving
your city national reputation for enter
prise. Mr.. Comstock then paid Mr.. Sabin
high tribute for personal worth, predict
ing for him an honorable and successful
career in the national senate, and closed
with calling upon the audience to rise and
give three rousing cheers for the big
hearted and generous people of
Saltwater, and the senator elect, D. NJ. Sa-
bin, which were given with force that fair
ly made the roof shake.

as against the masses. The new senator
has said his would be to legislsts for the

HON. G. A. PILISBURY
said he was happy to congratulate the pso-
pie of Saltwater upon their good fortune
in having fellow -townsman, and one so
universally admired and respected, elected
United States senator. He was
one of the thirty who stood
by Window until the last. and when the
battle was ended he felt good deal as if
he had been run through one of the famous
machines with which Saltwater was food

and while every feature vas most credit

men employed in the industries with which
Mr.. Sabin's name was so intimately
associated, and which he had
done so much to establish
and build up to their
present splendid proportions, was the
pleasantest and most creditable feature of
all, so far as Mr.. Sabin is personally con-
