Bobleter Is . BOltor.
Because we have dared to denounce
the insult heaped upon the German
delegates IN The late Republican
State convention, the mumskull Of
the Sleepy Eye Vide A,cake shot off
a whole column article last week
under the above caption. We have
50 far paid but little attention to
this fearful mans rawlings, but
as he has Of late devoted 50 much
Of his time and space Of his puny
sheet to our benefit, we have con
cluded that it's no more than right
that we recipro coated, even # it is
only in a slight degree. The ostenta-
tious man Of the Wide. Awake cen.
strues our denunciatory article Of
two weeks ago into bolt, and all at
once DISCOVERIES that he is editing
Republican sheet and that it is his
mission to denounce the REVIEW and
it's editor for inconsistency to the
Republican party. Hesays that be-
cause we did not succeed in securing
the nomination Of Gel. Pf@nder for
State Treasurer, we now come home
and shout, fraud, Fraud And
after eulogizing Mr.. Kittleson and
Fred. Won Baumbach says: ''That a
change was desired by a large major
ity Of the convention is a fact not
to be disputed, and now for our
re.head, Bobleter to come home
and bawl himself hoarse in crying
fraud, is about as silly as it is inn
polite.
We stated our case so clearly in
charge that a fraud was commit
ted by the convention in the nomi-
nation@of Mr.. Won Baumbach, that
it IS unnecessary for us to here re.
peat it. There are others who saw
the fraud perpetrated, and if the
secretary's tally sheet was correct,
it is indisputable. That large
majority of the convention desired
achange Of incumbents in the treas
urer's office, is all bosh. Surprising
the vote by which Mr.. Won Baum.
bach was nominated to have been
fairly cast, which was considered a
test vote as between Mr.. Kittleson
and Col. Pfmnder, it would show
majority Of only two for a change.
Not such a verv large majority in
vote Of 2l2. On the contrary, we
are fully satisfied that the majority
of the convention did not desire a
change, and had the convention act
ed fairly Pfander would have been
renominated. It is not our desire to
influence single voter, but we be-
lieve that it is our mission to state
the facts clearly and truly and
then each voter can decide for
himself what is proper to do. No
one regrets the lamentable state
of affairs in the Republican par.
ty Of Minnesota just now more
than we do, but we do not be
lieve that the time has yet come
when Republican will be read out
of the party because he dares to de-
nounce corruption in his own party
as well as in the Democratic or any
other party. If the pusillanimous
editor Of the Wide.Awake desires to
write the Review out Of the party be-
cause we denounced the late Re pub.
lican convention as in the main a
body Of tricksters, it will have to
write two.thirds Of the Republican
journals Of Minnesota out Of the
party.
But has not the Wide-Awake man
a sore spot about him? His article
would indicate that he had. He
says: 3'Col. Pf@nder beat himself by
writing letters into this county and
elsewhere urging his friends to send
delegates to the convention favor.
able to Gov. Pillsbury.' Also,
Pfander is indebted to Pf@nder
for the defeat of both Pf@nder and
Wakefield. From the above, one
would infer that the ''high -aier" of
the Wide.Awake feels sore because
Wakefield was defeated, and glorles
in Pfmnder's defeat because that
gentleman was friendly to Pillsbury.
We repeat that Col. Pf@nder was
defeated by the same clique that de.
feated Major Strait last fall, and
don't care how much the Wide
Awake denies it. Only last week,
Capt. A. A. Brown, Of Alexandria,
wrote to one of his friends in this
city, But didn't lay out Pf@nder
nicelye" IF the Wide.Awake man
knows anything at all about politics
in the Second G Congressional district,
he must know that Capt. Brown,
Hans Mattson and several others of
the same sort were instrume ntal in
Major Straits defeat.
Bobleter don t mourn in sackcloth
and ashes at the gate Of the city of
New Ulm, by long shot. He is
rightin.the city and proposes to stay
there, and will in future as in the
/ past speak his mind frankly and free
/ " upon all questions Of public int.
! rest, without first consulting the
/ plus sage que. les sages editor of the
