Commissioner Carey at His Old Home.
Detroit (Mich.) Tribune: Among the
arrivals at the Russell house yesterday
were Hon. A. L.. Carey of Bismarck, N.
D., and Hon. William g. Hayden of Far
60, in the same state. Mr.. Carey is state
commissioner of insurance under the
present republican administration, and
Mr.. Hayden is a prominent republican
politician and ex-state bank examiner.
Both are representative citizens of North
Dakota, and are thoroughly posted re-
garding all matters of current interest.
ut is very much like coming back home
to me- to be in Detroit and Michigan"
said Mr.. Carey last evening. II was born
and raised in Hudson, right down here
in Lenawee county, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that 1 believe North Dakota
to be the greatest state in the world, l
am always glad to revisit the scene of my
boyhood. Funny, isn't it, how these old
memoirs and traditions will cling to a
fellow through life? I can almost imag-
inc myself a barefoot boy wading about
over the dew-wet meadows of my old
home. Well,"' with a suspicious huski-
ness, 1--WE grow old and calloused, and
world hardened, but we never quite for
get to be boys again. On this occasion
I have been down to New York on an Of
fetal visit, but the dust and heat of that
great city sort of blinded and angered
me, and all at once there came to
me a vision of dear old Detroit,
lying here SO quiet and pas
toral among her historic surroundings,
and | threw up everything, left the me-
tropolis much sooner than I had in
tended and [ am going to remain over
Sunday with you if it takes a leg. North
Dakota? Oh, it is one of the greatest
states in the union. I have been there
a good many years now, and know every
foot of it. My real home is in Fargo,
but my official duties, of course, are at
Bismarck, the capital. I left home in
May, but my advices are unanimous in
the statement that the present wheat
crop will be the greatest in the history
of the state. You know, of course, what
a good wheat crop means in North Da-
kota. It is the keynote to prosperity,
and when it fails calamity and starva-
ton stares us in the face. Our state is
the banner wheat producing section of
the entire country. Politics? Well,
coming from North Dakota you have, of
course, labeled me as an enthusiastic re-
publican. That is exactly what I am,
and what is more to the point, I hail
from a safe republican state. In the
matter of choice for the next republican
presidential candidate, the favorite is
Blaine, although we do not really be-
lieve that he will be the candidate I
heard some very convincing stories re-
garding Mr.. Blaine's precarious physical
condition while in the east, and I do not
believe that he will be in shape to head
the next national ticket. There is no
disputing the fact that he can have the
nomination if he wants it, however. He is
the prime favorite everywhere. We also
think we'll of President Harrison, and
believe that he has made a splendid
president. Mckinley, too, will cut a big
figure in the west if he wins in the com
ing bitter contest in Ohio"
