Hon. F. G. Butler of Farmington, argued that the brain of men is to some extent dependent on their physical ability, and hence
he felicitated the Convention that their avoirdupois was so great. The county of Franklin to which he belonged, he thought ought to be glad on this occasion, for although their delegation of men was not extensive, they had here a woman of whom they may well be proud - Miss Hardy of Wilton (Loud applause) Let me give you a toast:
The Fat Men's Convention of the County of Androscoggin; long may it wave.
Luther D. Curtis Esq of Franklin, thought the 200 pound ladies ought to have been invited too, for have numerous ladies who can worry the beam terribly at 200 lbs. He closed by endorsing the fair sex in the following:
The nation mourned,
And man looked wild,
And man was unhappy
Till woman smiled.
(Loud laughter)
Hon J. B. Ham on behalf of the Committee of arrangements presented Mr. Haven of Chelsea with an elegant silver pitcher and goblets, as the offering of the Convention to the fattest man. Mr. Haven begged to be excused from a speech.
Mr. Ham said he hoped this Convention would be repeated as a State Convention to which every body cried:
AYE!
Mr. Swett of Brunswick, was called on and said he was not a speech maker, but a man of action, and brought down the house in a roar by his test of a good landlord.
Mr. Robinson of AUgusta said when he saw the call for the Convention he determined he would come, and he was certain that hereafter when he met a corpulent man, he should greet in him a man pleasant to meet for a social hour.
Mr. Waterhouse, the landlord, was called for and said:
S. F. Waterman, Esq., of Poland, related a fat story. A few years ago a gentleman applied at Mechanic Falls for conveyance in the station below. Elder Brown, a good joker, was the depot master. No passenger train was due. It is against the rules, said he to pass passengers on a freight train, but I can bill you as freight.
The traveler assented; was weighed and billed and put on the car. WHen he was taken out at the next station the bill was presented to him as follows:
MR. _____ to Grand Trunk Rail Road. DR. For One Bullock, 320 lbs, 60 cents,
-- Just twice the passenger fare. That gentleman was the worth President of the day, who now occupies the chair. My toast is:
Our President, though a cheeky man, may his shadow never be less.
(Great Laughter)
Mr. Littlefield said the phraseology of the bill was "One full grown man.
The joke was played, and he was to late.
Mr Bulter of Farmington told a good story. This brought out Swett of Brunswick again in pantomimic style.
Col. Lee Strickland of Livermore, told a story and lauded fat people. His sentiment was "The Men's Convention - May it cause mothers more to cherish fat babies."
Mr Ormsby of Farmington told a story at the expense of Mr. Curtis of New Sharon, who sat at his side. Mr. Curtis, traveling in Chesterville village, found there a State liquor agency whose clerk he discreetly told that he was the agent appointed by the State to test the State liquors. The clerk was all attention and waited on Mr. Curtis to the cellar where he tested the best he had to his stomach's content. He then bid the liquor agent farewell, saying that in his examination of liquors he never tested the same kind but once a day, and that hereafter he would be there twice a week! (Uproarious laughter) Curtis left without further inquiry.
AT 8 P.M. the Convention was dissolved - but not its members, by any manner of means. It was voted throughout a great success. Credit is due to our committee, of which Hon. J. B. Ham was chairman, for the entire success of the Convention, which, as a social gathering is unquestionably the richest and best ever enjoyed in Maine. We may say here that a generous collection was taken in the Convention to purchase a present for Miss Hardy, the fat woman, who so courteously responded to a telegraphic invitation that she be present.
The Convention throughout was conducted in the most creditable manner - no unseemly disorder of any kind occurring. We trust that fat men may meet again!
