The banquet began at 1890, immedi-
ately following the public reception
to the governor, held in the Commercial
club rooms. At its close there were a
number of speeches and responses to
toasts. Mr.. Snively, in his opening re-
marks, referring to Judge Whitson, said
that he was in many respects Yakima
county's foremost citizen; as member
of the bar here he had always led in
ability and influence, and in his unset
fishness had ever been ready to extend
every courtesy to the newcomer and to
all his fellow attorneys. These qualities
had gained for him the esteem and adj
miration of all who knew him. 1t was
remarkable that of all the distinguished
citizens in the territory embraced in
the new federal district Mr.. Whitson has
been selected by the president for the
judgeship, and Endorsed by the entire
congressional delegation, the bar of the
state, judges of the supreme and federal
courts, and by the governor of the state.
He proposed toast to Mr.. Whitson,
which was heartily responded to.
Judge Whitson in replying spoke feel

existed between the other members of
the bar and himself, recounting his Ia
bors in this field, and expressing his
gratitude and sincere good will to his
associates for the honor they had shown
him and for the aid he looked to them to
give him in his new position.
Hon. Miles Cannon, to whom was as
signed the subject of "The Governor of
the State" felt that inasmuch as Judge
Whitson had attained the ambition of
his life, the occasion should be one of
rejoicing, and while the assembly met
to honor as their guest one who had
worked his way to the top of the lad

manner had surmounted obstacles and

to preside over what was to be the
greatest state in the union. The SOL

was that Gov. Mead was an honest man,

Gov. Mead, in response, made brief
speech, expressing his pleasure at being
able to be present on this occasion. He
had felt many times within the last
two weeks that he would not be willing
to change positions with the governor of
any state in the unicn. The appoint
ment of Mr. Whitson, he said. gave him
the greatest pleasure and satisfaction,
