"Hon. George E. Chamberlain, Port

"My Dear Sir: You will please ac
cept my congratulations upon your
election to the ofiice of governor of

democratic governor possible, but
since it was so, I wish to assure you
that there is no man in your party
to whom I would surrender tho office
with more pleasure than to yourself.
"I can wish you no better good fu
ture than to express the hope and
belief, that the end of your term may
see the state in as good condition in
every branch of its public service as
you will find it on the day of your
inauguration.
"With best wishes, I remain, re
spectfully yours, "T. T. GEER,
"Governor."
