81 hope at an early date to have the
time to mention specifically the splen-
did work performed by each of the
governors. They all had a different
line of thought to express and after a
try out of two or three days, it was
interesting and fascinating to observe
them in action. Each and every one
of them, of course, would tell of the
advantages of his own state, pay
compliment to the west as a whole,
throw a few bouquets to our eastern
brethren and then follow out some
