The Mayors Welcome.

Mayor Kedington in responding to

Stranger" said:
Mr.. Toastmastcr and Gentlemen: \
the executive of the city, | take great
pleasure in extending hearty wei
come and a most cordial greeting to
our eminent visitor from the great and
flourishing state of Colorado. | fully
realize that a city like ours must seem
small and insignificant to one from tn"
great and thrifty West, where cities
Of immense population spring up as if
by magic.
In the East we are of slow growth.
yet, in a degree, are We prosperous.
our sons and daughters have helped
swell the growth of more favored see
tions of our country; much of our
wealth and muscle has helped to de
velop the hidden treasurcrs of the gold
and silver states of our country, both
of which metals we need. our promo
tors are men of push and energy; ito
succeed" is their motto, and their bust
ness relations bring them into associa-
ton with the keenest, sharpest, and
most intelligent class of people.
The East needs the West ana the
West needs the East. We make up a
union of states and one country the
equal of which there is not in the world.
From the pin" clad hills of Maine to
the canons of Colorado. and beyond,
the people watch with undisguised in
terest and unfcisncd pride the growth
OF the nation We watch Colorado and
/ have no doubt Colorado is watching
us our Interests arr the same. Thcre-
fore once again, Mr.. Attorney tender
to you. as Il representative of Il great
silver producing state. our most hearty
greeting, and pledge to YOU and your
state the best wishes Of all our peoplr.'

..colarado Hospitality"

Mr.. Mark Galiert spoke in response
to that toast.
Mr.. Galert had visited the West and
particularly Colorado. He had sampled
of the hospitality of the country. He
had been surprised at what the peo-
pie out there knew of the affairs Of the
state and nation He was made to
feel at home. He expected to see rob
bers and general laWleSsnesS but he
failed to find il. Their knowledge OF
national affairs would shame Eastern
men who read the papers every day.
The pastor of the leading church in Sill
Verton was Waterville boy. He had
been educated in Watervllle schools
and "Of course our honored guest is "a
member of that church. Colorado is
the rising star in our flag declared Mr.
Gallcrt and he was applaudcd.
