GOVERNOR MATTHEWS SPEAKS.
Governor Matthews made a departure
from the usual custom, and in a short
speech yielded up the keys of his office to
his successor. He recounted how. just four
years ago, he took the oath of Office, how
it had always been his highest purpose TO
discharge his duties under the Constitution,
the satisfaction he felt in knowing al
though he had made mistakes, that he had
administered his office to the best Of his
ability. He said ii was with mingled feel
ings of regret and pleasure that he left his
office: regret for the many pleasant asso-

duties and trying situation. Then, with
humorous turn, he said:
AT least there will be no disarrangement
of agricultural affairs. My successor leaves
the plow-I but return TO it," He spoke
earnestly of his hopes for the incoming
Governors success in administering his
office and laid his heart and hand subject
TO any call which might be made for help
or advice. His last words as Governor Were
a expression of thanks TO the people for
their confidence in the past.

them while he spoke. broken only by an oc-
casional round of applause at some more
than usual emphatic portion OF the address.

NO AXEs TO GRIND.
Most of the Delegates Prepared to
Act On Best Plan Suggested

Delegates to the monetary convention are
now constantly arriving, all through trains
from the East bringing quite number
from New York city and many principal
cities throughout New York State. Chas.
S. Fairchild, ex-secretary of treasury, is at
the Bates House, and when interviewed by
a Journal reporter yesterday said:
Il came here more to listen and learn
than to advance any opinions. The many
financial embarrassments we have under
gone in New York and throughout the
whole country has necessitated this conven-
tion. 1t is in way political and our hope
and understanding Is that commission
will be formed 10 devise best means for the
establishment of n safe currency system.

and think the plan an excellent one and
fully indorse il. 1 have prepared no address
to be made at the convention and have no
intention of making one. but am willing
to do all L TO promote the movement.
Mr.. Hanna said something TO me about an
address. but / did not think il best. 1t Is
likely that L Will nave something TO say,
but il will be extemporaneous and will not
be more than ten minutes. | am glad to
find the sentiment in this city so strongly
in favor of the plan of appointing a COM
mission to do the actual work of the con-
vention. That is the unanimous sentiment
in the East. 1 should think that commits
sion of about nine good. thorough business
men could do the work. OF course with a
commission of that size l would favor the
reconVening of this convention To adopt or
reject the report that might be made. In
case il should be found inadvisable to recon-
vene the convention the commission should
be larger"
Geo. Foster Peabody, of New York said !:
My full sympathy is with this move
ment. What we want is to get the busi-
ness men of this country in line rise up
and reform the currency and banking
laws. This can be done only by movement
on the part of the business men in a non
political convention. such as has been called
here. As far as | know there are no definite

real situation. discover the trouble and rec

that the convention is going to be as large
as il is and made up OF such a good class
of men. Those whom / have met or heard
of are all representative men. who come
here for the purpose of betteTing the cur

ideas. We do not want politics in the con-
Vention. and / am glad to say that / have
not seen the slightest indication that there

there is rather strong sentiment in the

better and much less cumbersome

delegation, said What we want is "A

and weighty opinions advanced, and that
