!'To Thomas Greenway, Leg. ;
"Dear Sir,—In the name of your many
friends, the eleotors of the eleotoral di.
vision of Mountain, which bas been so
worthily represented in the Legislative
Assembly of Manitoba by you for nearly
twenty-one years, we beg to offer einoere
and hearty congratulations to you on
this, the Mid anniversary of your birth-
day. Be pleased to accept this apontan•
eons expra:ision of regard and profound
respect from those who claim to know
yon beet. It is nearly a quarter of oeu
tury sinus you first came amongst ae as
a farmer in a farmer's land, and you
have been so closely allied with public
affairs that we oannot refrain from re
ferring to some of them. We have noted
many advocate mad* in the condition of
-agricultural life in Manitoba, and our
people hate you to thank in a spatial
manner for many beneficial legislative
note paeaad during your long public
career. Yet, while your official duties
have oalle;I yon to the seat of Govern.
meat for nearly every day during your
twelve years' term as Premier of the
Province, we remember with pleaenre
that yon have always bean a farmer.
We recall with thankfulness your notiring
energy in Manitoba's welfare. Yon un-
furled our nailed to the mast the flag of
"Provincial rights." Disallowance ie
past ; yoi r enegetic and Oomprehecsive
railway policy bas secured marvellous
resulta, and we trust y,ou may long be
spared to continue your efforts in that
direction. The splendid economies in
public service, extensive publio works,
continued improvements to our temper-
ance and moral legislation, the establish.
meat of public schools, the conservation
of public lands, the introduction of the
cheap and easy Torrene system of land
transfer, the simplification of municipal
government and the establishment of
farmers' institutes and agricultural
soaieties are landmarka in the history of
our Province with wbiob the name of
Premier Greenway will ever be intimately
associated in thankful remembrance.
The sound finanoial standing of the
Province has marked you with the stamp
of honest business capacity, be ye farmer
or Premier. True to the division whish
has been true to you, we delight to know
you as a fellow.townsman as well as a
neighboring farmer ; but above all these
considerations we desire to honor you for
yourself, for your outspoken candor, your
Integrity of purpose, your private and
publics generosity and your kindly yet nn.
obtrusive good -fellowship. Pray, dear
sir; accept these nor warmest birthday
greetings, with our sincere respsot.
Signed on behalf of your friends and
supporters in Mountain, G. Riddell, M.
D., Chairman of Committee ; Wm.
Young, Secretary."
10. OluanNWAY's REPLY.
In replying to the address Mr. Green.
way expressed his hearty appreciation
and thanka for it. He reviewed briefly
hie connection with the oonetitnenoy of
Mountain. Since 15 was first farmed he
was the only repreeentative they ever
had, and he was proud of the support
givenhim is his own home, where he
was beet known. He emphatioally de-
nied the falsehoods oircaiated by the
Conservative press that bis Government
had forged his Honor's name to a
proolamalion proroguing the House, and
that they had let contracts after their de.
feat. He would always stand for the
rights of the people, whether he sat on
the right an the left of the Speaker. He
had read the Conservativeplatfo,m cars•
fully, and there was little in it he could
not support, now that they bad gone
hook to his old railway policy. He de.
nied that any eeoret deal had been made
with any railway ; what he had done be
bad publicly declared to deputation after
deputation. Last May he Bad said be
would give the usual bonus to the 0. P.
R. if they would build the Waekada road.
It was n0 secret ; he intended to make
no change in his policy, and would sap.
port all measures in the interest of the
people which the Government introduced,
He was not going to be untrue to the
trust repo: ad in him by them. (Loud
cheers.)
