fair that his aspirations in that be
half should be measured or ciIcum
scribed by the place of his residence
or any sectional feeling that lnhap
PLY may exist. That man who is 81
narrow and illiterate, 81 weak and 81
imbecile, who has no higher
appreciation of the honor and
dignity of the responsible po
sitlOn of delegate from Montana,
that to be controlled by such consid'
erations in the administration of q
public trust does not deserve one
vote to be cast for him to record the
fact that he was a candidate at an
election before the peerless people OF
Montana. AS q representative OF
Montana I should know no east, no
west. no north, no south. but my
whole energy and existence would
be devoted to the advancement and
promotion of the general interests Of
the Territory.
If l could imagine for a moment
that l was vulnerable to such an un-
worthy imputation I would not hes
itate to decline this nomination, SO
enthusiastically rendered, and here
and now swear a cordial and loyal
support to any person this CONVEX
ton might nominate. But l know
that no such suspicion car exist-and
it is enough for me to know that l
have the confidence of the DemOc-
racy of Montana as expressed by its
delegates in this Convention assem-
bled, and with that assurance I &C
cept the nomination and all the re-
sponsi bilities it implies.
The platform you | ave adopted is
in perfect Keeping with my individ-
ual views. I shall go before the
| people in the coming campaign and
IN the discussion of it undertake
to show that the principles embodied
in it as we'll as in the national
platform, are necessary for the maiL-
tenance Of good government and
national prosperity, and that a steady
adherence to them will find their just
reward when Democratic Montana
shall have joined the sisterboOd OF
states in the maintenance of a DEM
Ocratic supremacy-the synonym OF
a bitter government.
Tie labors OF the convention hav-
ing been mainly concluded, l do not

content myself by again returning to
you a grateful acknowledgment for
this nomination. 1t has been said
that the more a community gets the
more it wants. The same may be
said of individuals. / confess that
there is some human nature about
me. Having obtained your nomina- |
ton what | most desire is to be elec- |
ted, and with your cordial cc-opera- !
ton l confidently expect to be.
