patual snow to the land where flowers
| bloom continuously, upon which the
| instrumentality of the ballot box falls
| as the SnOwtlakeS and executes the free
mans will as the lightningS do the will
| of God; when we think that perfect
good feeling prevails throughout this
| land we cannot but rejoice.
| We can rejoice at another thing. We
can rejoice that the Republicans lifted
| into power, four years ago, man OF
| great ability; man who has admins
| tered the duties of the high Office en-
| trusted to his charge with judgment
and care; we PopulistS and you Repub-
llcanS can rejoice that this victory of the
Democrats has placed in Office man
| of great integrity and liberal policy.
l, for my part, propose to stand by the
incoming administration in everything
! ! think is right, but | claim the right to
differ in everything think is wrong.
l hope that IN time our great nation
will relegate war to the past, and that
thus peacefully, tremendously and
granaly our political revolutions may
ever be accomplished without blood
shed.
A Shot at Egn2tIus.
Senator IL. f. Stevens, when called
upon to contribute his share, did SO
cheerfully, introducing his remarks
with story highly aprOpos. He said:
You have many of you heard of the
Old woman and the bear. The old
woman was at work in her house when
the bear entered and engaged her in
mortal combat. During the struggle
her husband came home ana rushed to
his wife'S defense, when the Infatuated
animal fell upon him. When the
woman was thus released from the
clutches OF the bear she stood watching
his struggle with her husband, and, al
though she had had experience with
both, conld not make up her mind which
way she would like to have it terminate,
so she yelled, go it husband - go it
bear -
During the late political contest my
friend Donnelly took the same altitude
as the woman in the story. l presume
he is now celebrating his own deliver
ance.
But now you ask for voice from the
depths Of the turbulent soup, and what
do you expect? 1t requires the Hottest
kind OF patriotism for one in my position
to rejoice at time like this, and still L
may say that l dOrejoice with you TO a
considerable extent. L rejoice that our
great country has for the first time in
the history of the human race accom-
plished biOOdleSS political revolution.
| congratulate you, my friends, you
who sit on the rim OF the bowl and gaze
with mingled eXultatiOn and coincidence
at US 1oundering IN the depths Of the
turbulent contents, but l warn you that
before March four years hence some
thing will drop into the bowl which will
cause such a splash and overflow that
you will all be washed away before it.
Greer Joins Hn.
Mr.. Greer spoke very briefly in words
substantially as follows: 1t was highly
fitting that the house should take re-
cess to allow the Democrats to congrat-
ulate themselves, and Stih further fit
ting that we should be given chance
to congratulate them. We cannot but
recognize this as a great event in the
history of our nation. The man who
retreS takes with him the good wishes
and the thanks of all for an able and
satisfactory administration, and the
man who goes in has the prayers Of all
that he may leave the affairs of the
highest office in the nations gift in as
favorable condition as he finds them.
More From the Senate.
Mr.. TaWney was loudly and repeat
eddy called for, and when he was finally
brought in from another portion of the
building could only be induced to say
the few words which follow:
L can only say, in response to your
very kind requests for a speech, that L
most heartily congratulate the Demo-
Gratis upon their success aud upon their
choice of an able man of liberal princi-
piles, and congratulate the Republicans
that the man who Tetires has proved
himself to be a grand and magnificent
statesman.
Now, as feel a great deal like a man
speaking at his own funeral, will make
room for some one who can address you
in more cheerful vein.
Senator McHale was called for, and,
placing his feet about eighteen inches
apart TO brace himself firmly that he
might not be shaken by the Humorous
applause, delivered himself of these re-
marks:
l heartily indorse the gentleman from
Dakota in bis cOngratulatory speech
upon the great progress of our nation
which has made it possible to pass
through a political revolution of this
kind without bloOdshed or disturbance
OF any kind. l am proud of the mag
nanimity which has prompted our Re-
publican brethren to meet here with US
today and rejoice with us.
A call was made for Senator Leavitt,
but that gentleman demUrTed. saying
that the senate was rather mOnOpoliZing
things. and called for Representative
Cotton. The dapper little gentle
man from st. Louis county responded
promptly.
From Great Duluth.
Coming after all these brilliant and
gifted gentlemen, who wear the sena-
tOrial tOga," said he, 81 must say that
my feelings can only be expressed in
the expressive words once uttered by
gentleman on this floor, Where am [
atY No words of mine can add to the
glory Of the man who is now president
of the United States, or the man who
today retires from that high office to be-
come once more a private citizen. l
must say, however. that Cleveland
stands before US as typical specimen
Of American citizenship, man of great
ability, and a statesman with a grand
record"
Mr.. Cotton concluded his speech with
clever little boom for Duluth, which,
he said, would one day not very far dis
tant. be known as the greatest city on
the continent.
Mr.. Abbott made a brief address in
Qualification of the Republican party,
which, he said, was the most liberal
that the country had ever known. Abra-
ham Lincoln, he said, had been the
most liberal president in the history of
the United States, and to this p. ii.
Kelly subscribed with a hearty amen!
And the history since the time of Lin
coin had shown the Republican party to
be the most liberal of all.
Senator Keller made one of his char
acteristic speeches. in which he made
the declaration: I'VE now have only
65,000,000 people, and anybody can rule
US, but in a short time we will have
100,000,0 900, and then the Office of presi-
dent will be q difficult one to FILL"
Senators Sanborn and Smith and Rep
resentative Dunn also made brief re-
marks of felicitous and eongratulatory
character.
Firing in Resolutions.
At this juncture Mr.. Winston intro
duced a resolution to the effect that it was
the sense of the senate and house of
representatives of the state of Minneso-
