Mr.. Davis said:


My neighbors, there are some rare occasions
In mans life which, because they stir his
heart to its profoundest depths, almost para
lyze the tongue. 1 have stood undismayed
before many an audience in my time in tho
performance of the duties OF political speak
ing but have felt very little OF that diff
dence which to some extent is felt on all sucn
OCCASIONS but to stand here as l do seeing
your kindly faces and knowing how much OF
neighborly feeling and personal esteem is
mixed up in all this demonstration, and cast
ing my eyes back over all this and seeing
that there are some faces here that were as
young as mine when l came here, can You
wonder that l attempt to speak to you to-
night with a feeling that l shall be unable
to perform that which it is my duty to do?
Ny friends, we have a great state here
came here in 1863 l thought then that it
would rise to heights OF surprising greatness
as a commonwealth, but l did not and could
not dream that Minnesota would stand where
she stands today. Gov. Ramsey was here, and
saw the beginning of this laid the foundation
of this commonwealth, but l do not believe
that he with all his presCience could fOresee
that which he views today. And so it is, my
friends, there are young men in this audi
maturity OF their powers, and as part Of the
result Of their own work will see Minnesota.
great as she is now, expanded to degree
which their most active imagination cannot
portray now.
l was a member Of the legislature in 1867
a member Of the house. My friend, Mr.. VIII
liam +. Murray, was q nSILDSF OF IHS SGudIS
Ask him If he recollects that dinner at the
Merchants at the close Of the session of the
legislature when we thought Edmund Rice
was talking the worst of Stiffness when he
predicted not tenth of that we are enjoying
today.
Casting your memories back for about a
year, l ask the philosophic thinker and the
of affairs in this audience if he has not
made an astonishing change and progress
since that time. How often it seemed to all
of u.s. especially the young that we were
dreaming; that we were living in a state Of
