GOVERNOR HAusre:
This informal gathering tonight,
representing. rs it does, all political!
crecds, is perhaps but reflex OF the
sentiment throughout the territory.
While there is general expression
of approval at your appointment IN
evcry town, we like Helena have
keencr interest in the selection, owing
10 your large monied investments IN
our camp. The future growth and
prosperity of Maiden depends largely
upon the successful operations OF the
Maginnis Mining Company; it is at
present our chief prop and support
. TO YOU, a man who has been tor years
overwhelmed with the cares and per-
ulexitics of large and varied business
interests the growth and prosperity OF
our town was OF little moment. You
have passed through it without look
ing to the right or left. But something
has occurred to arrest you attention.
You cannot longer claim exclusive
rights. There are none SO humble or
inconsequ.ntial but are entitled to a
hearing. Added to your accumula.
ted responsibilities are the fortunes and
hopes Of 100, 900 souls. To night we
have you corraled, to use an elegant
Montana expression. Your interests
here are something More than pecu-
mary now. You are the appointed II
not the chosen governor OF this vast
territory, and the welfare and happl
ness of its people in every part should
and doubtless will, receive your earn
est solicitude.
The chief cause for qualification
over your appointment is the fact tina
we have a man from our territory &c
govern our territory-a man identified
with its chief industries and knows
their needs. 1t is also the death knel
to carpet bag satraps and political or.
rot sent her from the states to pay vi
old scores.
Believing that our people and tn
growing industries of the Great Judlt
Country will fare we'll al your hand
we trust you will regard this sma
demonstration as proxied and dele
gated expression of the people through
out its entire length and breadth.
In response the Governor spoke
substance as follows:
