JUDGE CAREY's REMARKS:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-Wc have n
great deal of work to do and | presume
it will call for a great deal of speech max
ing, but it has been suggested by our
worthy secretary that there should be
some words of welcome to the many who
have here assembled and whose familiar
faces, SO pleasantly greet us. Our call is
so comprehensive that anyone reading it
will find that they, n and all, are wei
come to attend and make suggestions.
The last legislature enacted some new
measures to be placed in working order
and they all should run smoothly. As
the great purpose of this association is
that harmony should abide non all
who are engaged in stock-growing
our friends from Colorado, Nebraska and
other states and territories present. are
heartily welcomed, and their suggestions
will be received with pleasure. Our herds
and theirs know no boundary lines between
the states and territories unless it be the
wire fences. Laughter and applause.
There is no class of men to whom we can
extend a
MORE HEARTY WELCOME 1
than those who are known as the Ameri-.
can cowboys. To our deliberations these
men are welcome at all times. Their
faithfulness and usefulness is known to us
all. We have a warm place for them in
our hearts. We also have kindly words
for the transportation men. These men
give us the rapid transit. These are the
men who have been abused for side track
ing to accommodate the "PuIlman's" and
Wagner Laughter.
Who pilots our cattle through The
commission houses of Chicago, and we
have a good word for them. too. We ask
them one and all to take a seat in our
conventions seat at the anxious bench
to confess their manifold sins. They may
here feel that an honest confession is good
for the soul. Again, to one and all pres
ent, we extend a cordial welcome.
EX-GOVERNOR RoUTT
of Colorado was v%ociferously called for,
and after some hesitation responded by
saying that it was an evident mistake to
ask him to speak, as he had brought
along Professor Moore to respond for the
Colorado people present. Whats the
matter, Moore?" Great laughter!) He is a
regular "Poll August (Hearty laughter.
Poll Angus is good enough for me. After
continuing briefly in a humorous view, the
Ex-Governor paid a high compliment to
the people Of Wyoming for the advance
ment which they have recently made in
many directions.
REV. DIR. MOORE,
of Denver, now responded in a most
happy vein, claiming that the Colorado
brand which wal recently put on him
hadn't yet got entirely well. He came up
expressly to put in an application to be
come a member of the Wyoming a%ssocia-
ton. Though a prohibitionist, he would
take a long horn-a Texas long horn. He
believed that the cattle industry would be
one of the greatest In the land. He re
joiced over the greatness of the Wyoming
association with its extensive ramifica-
tons. He believed in having a concert of
action among the cattle men of the states

which would gain much superiority
by their transfer TO Wyoming.
Millions of money are to be made from
stock in this territory, and now the more
