already spoken twice, and hence was out
of order.
We expect on this and on frequent oc-
casions between this time and when he
will depart to hear from cur senator.
Mr.. Wilson introduced
MR.. sABIN,
who was greeted with cheers. The senator
elect made an effective speech, and it was
well received. He said: To say to you
that l am highly pleased would only faint
ly represent my feelings of gratitude.
Here tonight the feeling that I am in pos
session OF the good feeling and sympathy
of this representation of Minnesota is
worth more in my mind than to be even a
senator. In fact, feel almost Mime
apolis man. l barely escaped becoming
one. 1 had fifteen years ago
my trunk packed and fare paid
for Minneapolis, when 1 was ruthlessly
torn away and consigned to the peniten-
tiary, and only wished had more Min
neapolis men to keep me companionship,
and can say have actually had good
many, with Minneapolis and Hennepin
county at my. back in any undertaking
politically. If was feeling reasonably
certain of success ordinarily, inquired in
to the antecedents of any man l worked
for for any Office, but with Minneapolis at
my back [ did not care what they were. I
knew [ should win. The speaker did not
feel adequate to speak upon the tariff
question, but would do his utmost for the
general interests of the state of Minnesota.
1 will endeavor to act in statesmanIike
manner. Upon the saw dust question to-
night am unqualifedly in favor of saw
dust. When I go to st. Paul shall,
promise you, be just as pronouncedly OPP
posed to it.
SENATOR CASTLE OF SALTWATER
followed. He had known Mr.. Sabin some
time, and it had been his experience that
people who supposed they controlled him
we're sure to find that by the time the con-
troversy ended Sabin controlled them. The
speaker referred to the problems with
which Senator Sabin would be obliged to
contend in the next senate much as did the
moderator.
EX-GOY. PILLSBURY
followed in few brief remarks. He pre-
faced his address by frankly acknowledge
ing that during the contest first and last
he had been Window man, but now that
the legislature had selected man who
has the confidence of Minnesota, the
speaker was an out and out Sabin man.
He closed by saying that Mr.. Sabin was
entitled to the votes of all Minnesota.
COL. HICKS
followed. He spoke more
generally than did those who
preceded him. He referred to the old an
mosites which prevailed between the citi-
zens and representatives of Minneapolis
and st. Paul. They are now coming to
understand that the interests of each are
Identical. He was also first and last for
Window, but now he said he had become
better acquainted with the senator elect he
did not regret the choice.
JUDGE FLANDRAU,
of st. Paul, was next introduced, he said,
am, as most of you know, Democrat, 1
suppose that the majority of this gathering
are Republicans. 'Voices, no, no, that is
a mistake" and scores of Democratic
hands went up am charitable enough to
believe that Republican may be a pa
triot as we'll as a Democrat. When we
consider that this great republic
which has celebrated its centennial year,
has become the hope of the entire civil
lied world, we have reasons to feel m)re
than ordinary pride. And here he turned
a fine compliment to the senator elect. He
spoke humorously of the difference be-
tween the Western and Eastern men. The
Eastern man he generally considered the
manufacturer of ine-tooth combs, while the
Western man is the manufacturer of en-
pires. Mr.. Sabin can safely be called a
successful Western man, but he must now
meet questions which involves the happi-
ness, prosperity and success of 100,000,00U
people, for this country is certain in
time to reach that number. The man who
has grown up in the Western country and
is a success in everything with
which he has come in contact
will be loyal to the interests of the whole
country. lie O0l10VoQ JlaG a True states
man was one who was cosmopolitan, and
Mr.. Sabin possesses the merits of states
man.
COMMODORE DURANT,
of Saltwater, represented the interest of
navigation. Sailing as he did from the
head port of the triumphal arch with
Saltwater at the head and Minneapolis and
st. Paul the base. He extended the right
hand of fellowship to all in congratulation
upon the choice of senator. He referred
adroitly to the spontaneously of the happy
occasion in Saltwater few days ago in a
pleasing and effective address.
JOHN MRAGHER,
of Mankato, was next called out. He said
that he was a loyal member, and called
for Senator Rice, from Kandyohi.
MIR. Rice said he supposed it would be
appropriate to state in all probability he
would be expected to represent the
grangers. He was granger. The grangers
do but little talking but can
do great deal of hard
work and generally, do some pretty good
voting as we'll. He spoke of the industries
of the northwest and the interests of the
