willing to trust the house. They were all
good fellows. All he wanted was d free ball
lot and a fair count" Mr.. Lane then renew

He has for a long time trodden the perilous
heights OF public duty. He has heard the
low rambling of the wheels of prejud dice, but
against him the tide has swept by, and left
his record unchallenged; the shafts of envy
and hatred that have been aimed at him have
been broken at his feet. He is intimate with
public affairs-not only with the requirements
of the hour, but with the demands
of the future. AS an employer he has ever
held the confidence of his employees as O legis-
later hehas ever been true to the masses; as
a man he feels to overfowing the full meas

his life has not yet reached noonti,le Yet by
his integrity he has gained his position in

whose name and fame throughout the State
of Minnesota are intimately associated with
the growth and development of the state;
