In response to the toast america and
Mexico" Dir. Gray referred with much
feeling 10 the kindness OF bis friends in
the encouragement and aid they had given
him, considering the esteem OF his fellow
men as of much more worth than the
heeIing honors of position. lie WAS proud
that he was to represent the crandest na-
ton that the sun ever shown upon. He
realized the difficulties of bis posi-
ton and thanked the democracy,
which was synonymous with the
people. for tie confidence placed in
him. He would endeavor 10 promote the
friendly relations already existing be-
tween the two republics and increase the
commercial intercourse. If ne succeeded
in this he should feel that he had accom-
plished his mission 81 am proud" he
said, "that am from 4 democratic state;
that Indiana is still democratic and will
remain 60 Indiana is safely anchored in
the harbor Of democracy and will never
again be stranded upon republican snoals.
The republican party is hopelessly lost.
No one knows where it is. where it is gone
body cares"
The whole affair was the compliment of
Mr.. Holt alone and he certainly acquitted
himself as an entertainer in a manner be-
fitting the occasion.
Mr.. Gray and his family leave for the
CITY of Mexico tomorrow via the Santa
Fe and the Mexican Central.
