by the supreme court Of New south
wales. A prisoner in that colony,
while serving his sentence. had the
sight of one Of his eyes destroyed,
through the bursting of the water
gauge glass of a steam engine in the
goal. On his release he brought an ac-
tion against the Minister OF Public

appeal the full court has held that on
grounds of public policy the action
was maintainable. But 1t Is quite
possible that an appeal to the Privy
Council would reverse this decision.

1t is only ten days sailing from San
Francisco or Seattle to The very heart of
the Orient; the place from whence our
fathers started. We have developed upon
this continent a civilization and a rule
of law as contradistinguished from IL
cense, which will She benediction over
all the wide world when that influence
shall be established. Our civilization we
could not stop If we would. The influence
that was crystalliZed into phrase at In
dependence hall at Philadelphia in I776,
can no more be confined to continents
than can the sun that shines above us be
confined to continents. This civilization of
ours, this spirit of liberty that found its
greatest expression in the Decoration
CT Independence. cannot be m~onopOlized
by US. The influence that emanated from
that little brick hall in Philadelphia has
been steadily permeating all the peoples
of the earth.
Supreme Duty Of the Hour.
But a special mission and special
work attaches to the people of this Pa
cifiC slope: a work that we cannot stop
if we would, because we are the van
guard. and in our proud moments Of self
consciousness we believe that we are
the best expression of the civilization
and progress of all the ages. This boast
is to be determined an idle boast or the
announcement Of a fact by our actions
on the 9Th day of November (Applause.)
IF we turn back from the supreme duty
of this mighty hour, If We decline to dis
charge the responsibility which, under
the providence of God, has fallen to us
now, we shall be entitled to the just
maledictions of posterity. II, on the other
hand, we show hat we realize that we
will reap because others in their day
did SOW, and as we rear the fruits of the
power OF other generations, so we must
in turn plant that others may reap in

Few men have played a more con-

tana than Hon. David E. Folsom, the
Republican candidate for governor of
the state. Mr.. Folsom was born at Ep-

shire, May Is, 1888. When % a old

June, 1862, Joined the expedition of

the occasion OF his recent visit there

niZing the justice and the wisdom Of the
policy, recommended to the legislature of
New York the granting female suffrage

last generation. (Applause.)
Of the Race.
This advancement toward the West
reminds me of a thought worthy of ex-
preston here This race to which we
belong has been moving westward for
nearly two thousand years. About two
thousand years ago the humble Naza-
e told the fishermen of Judea to go
forth and preach the gospel to all men,
everywhere In obedience to that COM
mand, these humble fishermen swiftly
turned toward the West. Under the
doctrines taught by them, a civilization
was built up such as the world had never
before known. This race conquered the
Wil0s of Europe. 1t conquered the isles
adjoining, and finally the Pilgrim Faith
ers in the North and the cavaliers in the
South landed respectively at Plymouth
Rock and upon the palm covered beaches
Of Florida During the last four hun
dred years this race has been engaged in
~conquering this continent; the savage.
the forest, the wild beast, the sterile
plain, the rocky mountain, each and all
the obstacles have beelI broken dow
and conquered by the steady march of
this masterful race.
we are now upon The shores Of the
mighty Pacific with our civilization. At
ter twenty centuries of march from Asia
around the globe. We find ourselves
back again at the rear door Of Asia.

Later he taught school and engaged in
farming and in 1876 entered Filings
bank in Virginia City, as bookkeeper.
That position he held till 1879 when the
banking firm of Raymond, Harrington
& Co., vas formed and he was made a
partner and resident manager. The
firm was succeeded by the firm of
Hall & Bennett, in which Mr.. Bennett
continues as manager.
In politics Mr.. Bennett has never
swerved from his allegiance to the Re
publican party and as a Republican
has for many years held positions Of
trust in Madison county. He was for
many years a member of the school
board of Virginia City and in 1882 was
elected county superintendent OF
schools for Madison county. He was
mayor of Virginia City six years, AMI
beginning with 1873 was for ten years
chairman of the Republican county
central committee for his county. He
served as a member of various terri
torial state committees and in 1892
was an alternate delegate to the ma
tional convention of she Republican
party at Minneapolis.

White Sulphur Springs, which has
since been his home.
With two companions, Mr.. Folsom
made the first exploration Of the gey-
ser region of the upper Yellowstone, in
the fall of 1869. He and his companions
were the first white men to view the
wonders Of the National park. His
description of them, the first authentic
account ever written of Wonderland,
is n Of the historic papers of the early
days.
Mr.. Folsom has always taken an
active part in Republican politics. He
has been a lifelong Republican and his
services to his party have been con-
spicuous for the ability he has dis
played. He served two terms as sur
veyor of Meagher county and was
treasurer of his county from 1886 to
1890. Later he was elected to the leg
islature, serving through the sessions
of 1893 and 1895 with marked abilit y.
He Is at present a member Of the cap

the Republican national convention at Philadelphia.
That we declare our earnest and united purpose to sup
port those splendid types of American manhood and Ameri-
can craftsmanship, William Mckinley and Theodore Roose-
welt, the Republican candidates for president and vice presi-
dent.
That we congratulate our fellow citizens of Montana
upon the results which followed the success of the Repub-
ncan party of the United States in 1896. which are to be seen
in the rescue of our state from a slough Of stagnation and
despair, the revival of our industries, tie employment Of our
laborers at liberal wages, and a return Of prosperity that
extends to all sections of the state and to all classes Of citi-
zens engaged in productive pursuits.
That we recognize in the Democratic party the historical
and persistent enemy of the policy of protection to American
industry; and that we warn the voters of Montana that its
success in the coming election would be fatal to the existing
legislation to which we are so largely indebted for the earn
ings of our laborers, the prices Of our products and the pros
pertty that has visited our state.
