The condition is favorable tonight and
the opportunity a rare one for the cuntem-
| plation of ones own people, 1t is Il happy
thing to he part of the State that has
contributed so largely to the success Of the
| United States. Although comparatively
small and few in numbers, yet, whether
| on bench or in the field, the Diamond
| State has contributed as many talented
men as any of her sister States, large or
small, 1t was the first to ratify that Com
stitution under which we now live and
shall continue to live.
OF all the States. none are so desirablv
| located as our own. Our people are law
abiding, industrious and thrifty in the
main, and ought to insure future for the
| State of uneXampled success. She ought to
| be not only manufacturing State. but n
garden and truck farm for all the neigh
| boring States.
