 GOVERNOR OF ALL
 ''Now, my friende, have queried in my own mind whether in 8 great epon- teneous meeting like this, participated in by Democrats and R,publicsns, ought to trench upon the domain of politics, but in justice to all parties, in- oluding myself, feel that I ought to say word; I see in this vssh audience many et8unoh and true Democrats whose hearty good wishes and valuable support I have had. Ia contest like this, wheFe'it wac known that in the very nature of the case the governor would be Republican, it was not only natural for them, bnb it was theiE priv ilege to have preference. I rejoice in the belief that I WAS theiR choice, and am proud to think I have been thought by them worthy ot it.
