gence, with school houses, churches and
all else that is desirable in civilized life.
Along with the rails came. lawyers, doctors,
editors, and even the ST. Paul drummer came
too, smiling. Five years ago the antelope oc-
cupied the site where now stands WATERFOWL.
Six years ago there were but 800 miles OF
railroad in Dakota. Now there are 1000.
In this connection he referred 10 the fact
that all the railroads OF Dakota passed through
St. Paul. He trusted that the time was not
far distant when the tribute Of all the west
would be laid before the dual cities OF Min
nesota.
DIR. DAY.
The president called upon DR.. Day, who
said 1t was a suitable time to consider
the matters that most concern
the northwest. This region occupies
commanding position, and be
thought that we had never yet seen the true
value of our produce. People from abroad
come along and take away cur products
He thought 1t was time to commence and
study out how we can better secure 20 our
selves the benefits of our labor. He then
argued against allowing Chicago and New
York TO establish the grade of wheat, and
maintained that we should establish 1t our
selves. If the mills will not pay a fair price
Tor wheat we must take the matter into our
own hands and construct mills. The matter
Of Montana meat is another matter that
must be considered. The raising of cattle IN
Montana has become an enormous in
dustry In which millions Of dollars are
invested. Just how to handle it
and just what to do is the problem that is to
be solved. To accomplish this will require a
good deal Of time and patience. The people
of st. Paul hold that it should be done.
W. S. GLASS.
Mr.. Fahenstock called upon Mr.. w. s.
Glass, who, in responding, said that he had
some modesty in speaking of the people of
st. Paul, 125,OOO strong. He referred to
Dakota as territory three times as large as
England, Ireland and Wales, and traced up
the history Of the territory. In 1861 she had
], US people, in 1866 5000, in 1865 10000,
in 1870 14,0S2, in 1880 1876, $50. Over
300, 600 people had gone into the territory
since 1880, and now she has over half a
million of people. Her population comes
mostly from the east and il is among
the most industrious and thrifty people any,
where. The territory Of Dakota can produce
anything that any state can produce. II is
big enough and fertile enough TO furnish
meat and bread for a kingdom, while her
mines are full Of precious metals. Dakota,
he said, presented curious spectacle. With
half million Of people, and numerous
towns and cities within her border, with
school houses and churches and all that goes
TO constitute a wealthy and powerful com
monwealth, she is yet denied the right of
suffrage. She has no voice in the election
Of president or the judges Of her courts. For
six years she has been knocking for
admission and has been continually
denied. He expressed his thanks and those
of all the people Of Dakota 10 the people of
Minnesota for the reason that our represen-
tatives in congress had always favored her
admission and promised that in future times
the people Of Dakota would remember this
act Of justice on the part of Minnesota. The
people of Dakota are too numerous and she
has too many large cities to be patient in
waiting much longer.
GOV. c. K. DAVIS.
When Gen. Averin called upon ex-Gov.
Davis to say few words there was a storm
Of applause that was loud and long, and gave
unmistakable evidence that the people of
Dakota feel very friendly to him. In open
ing his remarks Gov. Davis said that he was
engaged in court in the trial of
case and that he had not had
any time at all to prepare anything or
even to think over what would be suitable TO
say on such an occasion. In looking over
the assemblage before him the governor
saw but few gray headed gentlemen. The
The work in Dakota had mostly been done
by the younger men, but he had observed
that they had laid the foundations Of the
state broad and deep. He condemned the
policy that held that great territory from the
list of states and promised the people Of the
territory the generous aid of Minnesota.
This statement was received with very dem
onstrative applause. He admired the pio-
neer merchants and had seen the merchant
princes grow with the progress of the west.
No country in the world presents greater
and ADLER men than the wheat growing
regions. In these countries all the arts aud
sciences flourish the best and with the great
est vitality. Intelligence and cultivation in
crease and enlightened civilization finds
resting place in the wheat raising regions.
1t has always been so during all the history
of the world. The great nations of the earth
have been the wheat raising, wheat eating
people. He mentioned the Chaldeans. the
Persians, and other wheat raising and wheat
eating nations, and eOntrasted them with
other nations who were not wheat raising
marks were strictly correct. He said it would
be found that Christianity and all progress
has characterized the wheat eating and wheat
raising people. Here, in this glorious north
west this is being demonstrated and YOU
viii find that when all things are rounded
up there Will be no nation on earth so
great and distin guished for all
that is great and glorious and
creditable in life as that which lives in
this great northwest. He spoke OF
the west filling up so that there was no
longer any west, but a great composite en-
pire out here, the greatest and most glorious
the eye Of man has ever seen. The above
is but brief outline of the governors re-
marks. He was frequently interrupted
with applause, and as soon as the speaker
was through he left the hall TO finish up a
case he was trying in the court.
c. G. WILLIAMS.
This gentleman is one of the visitors. and
when called upon opened his remarks by
correcting one or two things that he had
been reported as having said, and then re-
ferred to the pleasant ride they had around
the city of st. Paul, and wondered what man
could do justice to the subject It seemed
like magic to him. Gov. Davis, he said, had
somewhat anticipated him in the remarks he
(the governor) had made about the wheat
producing countries. He referred to the
difference the cultivation of the intellect
made in the affairs Of men. Go, he said, to
Hungary, and you will see the farmer beat
ing out wheat with club the same as they
did in the time OF Moses and Aaron. He did
not agree with the advice that some gave, 10
stop raising wheat, and argued in favor OF
still continuing the cultivating of this
cereal. Gov. Davis had cut into this part OF
his argument and so he only referred to the
matter and said it was just as Gov. Davis
had remarked, viz: that the great
nations of the earth are wheat
