mated by their brilliancy alone; there arr
underlying sterling qualities OF character
that cannot be supplanted by genius Of
the Hottest scholarship. Governor Water
| man was taken from the toiling ranks
worker in field, in mine; a possessor of {
large share of worldly goods, gathered BY
! his own and unaided exertions; a success
ful business man; knowing the right anG
doing it fearlesslv, and having the fear o.
| no man before his eyes. As such he came
into Office without previous experience in
political life, but where he has manifested
his love for cleanliness, fair dealing, and
the application of business principles in
the administration Of the financial affairs
and official trusts of the State In bis
brief residence in Sacramento he has Won
the esteem OF the people and their respect
for his kindly nature, his straightforward
ness and manly tirmness 1t was therefore
eminenuy proper that large group OF
Sacramentans, in behalf of the people OF
the city, should extend with due tormalitv
but not the less sincerely, banquet to the
Governor. His acceptance of the honor in
the same frank spirit in which it was tend
cred, added greatly TO its social emphasis
accorded by the people o" a capital city in
augural ceremony and festivity. But when
one becomes Chief Magistrate by succession,
it is not an obligation of society that there
shall be any special ceremonial marking
his entry into office. The tender, there
fore, to Governor Waterman, was all the
more complimentary because it was not in
the natural order of society events. but q
cordial greeting to II worthy gentleman
who is to reside with US for three years
more at least, and upon whom is imposed
the weighty obligations of the highest Off
cial position IN the State. 1t is needless to
add that the entertainment in its character,
liberality and cordially, did honor to the
city as well as to her guest.
