Mr.. CASHEL: Mr.. President and gen
tlemen of the senate, l rise to place in
nomination for the exalted position of
United States senator a gentleman we'll
known to many members of this body and
the people Of North Dakota. The gentle
man whom l will name came to this state,
as every one of us came, to do his share as
a pioneer, in laying the foundation of its
prosperity and upbuilding a common
wealth Of which we may all BIZ proud. By
his W indOmitable energy, his intellect
ual worth and we'll established integrity.
he has steadily advanced In public favor
and was the first chosen to represent our
newborn state In the councils of the ma
ton. He there labored diligently and un-
tiringly, with the fidelity of a true Dako-
tan, to advance the interests of the people
who so hon0red him; a gentleman who has
been identified with everything progress

pie. Gentlemen, l have the honor to place
in nomination Hon. H. G. Hansbrough of
MI. MCCORMICK: 1 arise to second the
nomination of the Hon. H. G. Hansbrough.
He is a gentleman whose private life is
without a blemish-wh0se public career
will bear the closest scrutiny-a man of
ripe judgment. He is backed by no cor
poration, endorsed by no combine. If he
meets with the approval of the legislature,
he will be there to act as his own best
judgment dictates. He has enemies, it is
true, but they are in my opinion, enemies
OF good government. He has been
true to every trust and he will be true to
this one if elected.
MI. BlDLAKE: l rise to place in nomi-
nation a man who came to this state when
1t was in its infancy as a territory-a mar

but we'll and %favOrably known. and best
liked by those who know him best; a man
who stands the peer of any other in this
state in point of ability and fitness to rep
resent us in the senate of the United
States: a man who is in favor of low tariff,
and therefore in touch and sympathy with
the needs Of the great agricultural popula-
ton of the northwest; a man who is
known as q great fighter, and who may be
trusted to fight for the rights Of the people
in the halls Of congress; a man who is
known to be ever true to his friends and
Just-even magnanimOus-tO his enemies;
a man who can and does sink partisanShlp
out of sight whenever it conflicts with the
welfare OF the community, n n who is
broad and generous enough to represent
all creeds and classes with equal fidelity:
q man who has been for many years a res
ident Of Dakota, whose every interest is
identified with us, who Is proud of our
young state and devoted to her best inter-
ests; a man who has never been known to
betray a friend or to be unjust to an
enemy, or to violate any trust confided in
him; q man whose honor and integrity are
such that he would lose his right hand
rather than be false to the interests of the
people, should they, by their votes, employ
