speaker, named Rothe, from Wisconsin, to
endeavor to offsett the Hon. Carl Schurz -
He was heralded by the Pioneer as great
gun and the Germans of both parties gath
cred at the Concert Hall meeting on Monday
evening, to hear the gun explode and judge of
it's calibre If we may believe the Germans
of both parties, who heard Mr.. Rothe, he is
but a pop-gun-and not a very heavy pop
gun at that A German has furnished US
with some remarks in Regard to Mr.. Rothe's
oratorcal effort, as follows:
For the Minnesotian.
The Daily Pioneer, Of st. Paul, said on the
Goth inst, in one of its articles about the
speech of Mr.. E. Rothe, "a German orator of
distinction" that he spoke to his countrymen
in their native tongue with the happiest effect
Yes, my honorable Pioneer, l assert it en-
tirely, that Mr.. E. Rothe spoke with the hap
piest effect, but in favor of the Republican
party; because l felt ashamed, that Mr..
Rothe was special countryman of myself;
but by the second thought compose ed my
SELF by concluding that he is nothing but
hired Democrat. This great orator has said
nothing else than that the Democratic party is
founded on good principles, and the Republi-
, can party is a very bad party, and that he
feels great pity for his unhappy Republican
countrymen. Besides these great arguments
for the Democracy, he tried to throw dirt
against the glory of Mr.. Carl Schurz, by tell
t ing the auditors that he and Schurz have for
about 16 years been good friends, and the
reason of the ruption of this friendship was the
D difference between both in politics. Mr.. Rothe
! failed to show US Germans the great and
o beautiful foundation of his present Democracy,
j. and he also failed to prove any one of his as
e sertons for any fault of Mr.. Schurz. He on.
h ly talked blindly to the wind, without single
It trace of argument This is the great speaker
e who is going stumping through our State, and
J. who will, by speeches like this one, do the
Republican party a very good service. There
l, fore, feel myself pledged to congratulate my
1t English speaking Republican fellow-citizens
t: who were unable to Judge that German non
d sense for this unexpected help in the battle
against Democracy.
!; After hearing Mr.. Rothe, Governor Gormar
~ started a speech in his manner he is very
N smart lawyer and knows well enough by.hi'
&c practical experience to spend dust for gold >
~ for instance to prove that it is more profta
bic for the Chalmers Of Minnesota to buy Cuba
, than to let the settlers retain their land. Mr.
II, German may think that the settlers are il
y the woods, and not in town, sol he calculated
al that the town folks would not feel very bat
D D. by such wrong affirmation. But suppos
to he is making the very same fault which mos
u every Democratic speaker has made since h
e, thinks SO little Of the ability of his audienc
no no to Judge or estimate and that is the only es
IS cuse of their shamelessness and iulpudence
on | did not go to hear this smart lawyer becaus
m he speaks beautifully, i being in neutral 0
rs not political matters, is real pleasure to hea
him, but-seeing him fight for his root an
o. branches rotten Democracy, be always make
A. me heartsick, since he squanders so great ir
he telligence for such an unthankful purpos
(Gorman wasting by gormandizing ric
I'M thought and wrong placed arguments.)
Ter Invent therefore to ROBBERS hall, where g
ne we'll again, happy an light-hearted as biz
ne by hearing another German orator, who di
hg not crawl behind the judgment off the not Ger
TO- mans, who spoke plainly, truly, from II
TO- heart to the heart, with enthusiasm for IL
iae right, by throwing his own right, fearing mott
ne ing, hopeing everything, and fighting as h
wo 70. ain proud of Mr. Kreismann.
