He said that at that late day would never

Remarks of carpetbag politician on the
occasion of his reception on arriving in the
territory with government commission in

"LADIEs AND GENTLEMEN; must take this

office. hope and trust that my life among
you may be such that when l return at the
end of my term, may carry away none but
the most pleasant memories"
One year later he hires brass band to
serenade him, and to the crowd the noise at
tracts speaks as follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS: AS you well know, a
year ago | voluntarily left my home In the
east to settle among you. did so because l
had grown tired of life in that effete region
and longed to cast my lot with the hardy
pioneers who have pressed to the front and
built up this great country. l am glad and
proud that l am one of you. And, fellow

country that l am proud am resident Of
