best wishes GO Henderson Martin. who

your many and most loyal friends
and some Of your mos 6ftter political
enemies have extended - me the very
evening In words that win no doubt
leave q very vivid impression upon
your memory and cause you many
saeepless nights in your contemplated
Journey to our Island Possessions in
tho distant Orient
II want to say to You In the begin
ming that that splendid list Of patriots
who have with longing hearts 20 ear
nestly looked forward to q vacancy in
the important office recently vacated
by you are not the only citizens Of
this great state that han with Joy and
pride your departure for those distant
islands at the c0n5mand Of one Of the
best presidents who has ever presided
over the destiny OF OUT great nation.
A united Kansas press, regardless Of
political aMiliations. commend with
pliments the splendid foresight which
guided our presidept to the prairies
Of Kansas to seek out vice governor
to perform such a responsible and. Inn
portant duty In the rule Of people
whose guidance and government were
forced upon US by the arbitrament Of
Spanish war. And believe me, this
western search for executive timber
Is not 10 unanimously commended in
your great state because Kansas IL the
place to find men who are accustomed
to and therefore qualified to rule over
a half civilized people. but because
Kansas has made q worldwide repu-
tation by producing such an able and
accomplished ruler as the gentleman
who selected you to grace the most
important office in the gift Of his adj
ministrAtion.
You are SO unanimously congratu-
lated in this hour. sir, not because in
all the years of your political career
you have repeatedly gone down in
whenever you have asked for the vote
Of the people in order that you might
taste the luxury OF ofieial life, but
because you stood steadfast, faithfully
fighting the battles Of your party
through victory and through defeat
until you behold that party enthroned
in both legislative and executive de-
partments of the national govern
ment. with president in whose con-
fidence you are SO thoroughly en-
trenched that you no longer need be-
seech your fellow citizens for votes in
order to walk into the vice command
Of the Philippine Islands to the tune
Of fifteen thousand five hundred gold
dollars per annum. Ny, what q sal
airy that does seem to many OF us!"
