able lawyer, that eloquent orator, that
true republican, Mr.. Thomas II. Carter.
i The name of Mr. Carter was received
with tremendous enthusiasm. The NOM
ination was seconded by several elo-
quent speakers, among them being Col.
McCutcheon, Captain Wyman and f. d.
Weed. The nomination was then made
unanimous and L. II. Carter was es-
corted to the platform amid the widest
tumult and greatest ovation ever ac-
corded to public man in Montana. He
then made his speech of acceptance, in
the course of which he made the fol-
lowing remarks:
| accept this trust which you this
night repose within me as a most sacred
| trust. But let me say this, that far
above and beyond the qualification of
personal ambition is the realization and
the accomplishment of those interests
which are dear to the welfare of the
people of Montana Those interests
which are destined to affect the future
standing of the state we must preserve
unimpaired as they came to us, with
| such acquisitions as we can give, and
hand them down as we received them,
unimpaired to posterity. 1t is our duty
| to do this; and let each and every men,
| Der of this convention know tonight
that | have accepted duty from
sense of duty. | am no more interested
| in this contest which is to come than
other republicans or Well-WiShers Of the
territory of Montana who breathe to-
night. Let each man return to his
home, feeling that while one individual
has accepted the trust Of leadership,
that there is an implied contract that
each party to the transaction of the
nomination and each republican who
processes the principles OF the party will
stand by the man and succeed with him
if he may succeed, or die with him in
the last ditch of defeat. Let me say in
conclusion that at some time in the near
future | will endeavor in more accu-
rate manner to state to you my views
upon the pending issues in the national
contest, as well as give you more in de-
tail my views concerning those needs,
pressing needs, which call for attention
in the territory itself. AS we now sep
arate wish it understood that all oh
stacles to my acceptance of this noml-
nation being now removed, | accept the
trust with no feelings of temerlty, but
with an abiding faith in the triumph of
right and the success of our party before
the people at the polls. X |
thank you, gentlemen Of the convention,
for this distinguished honor. am not
unmindful of the fact that have been
nominated by grand party, by party
whose traditions reach back into the
nfn visitor
party whose history cannot be writ
ten without absorbing one of the most
exciting eras in the history Of the ma
ton. feel that to be alone nominated
to represent this party is distin-
guished honor. feel that to he con-
sidered by any large number Of my fel-
low citizens as tit person to join one
OF the most exalted legislative assem-
blies that ever convened upon the face
of the earth, the congress of the, United
States, is sufficient to justify any man
in the most exuberant expression OF
thanks.
This speech Of acceptance was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm. After
the noise had subsided, Hon. H. II.
Blake read the report of the committee
On resolutions. The resolutions en-
body the principles of the republican
patty and more especially as they affect
the welfare Of Montana territory. They
were adopted unanimously.
The territorial committee was then
selected and the convention adjourned.
ChaS. A. Berg was selected as the COM
mittee member from Park county.
