New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1883-04-04

Down III the OOuth, at present,
said Southern Republican to me
the other day, s'people are actively
engaged in President making-that
is to say on paper. They have
plenty of leisure between one cot
ton crop and the other to talk poll
tics, and they do it to their hearts
content. What amuses me most
however is to see the way the Indi-
ana and Kentucky Democrats are
parcelling out the prospective spoils.
They propose to get the cream Of
the results Of the party's restora-
ton to power in the House Of Re.
representatives.. Their scheme is, to
make Carlisle the Speaker, and Nc
Donald is to head the Presidential
ticket. The party in the North
will have to shift for itself accord.
ing to their intention. OF course
The whole matter will end in the
usual Democratic row. In spite of
the repeated thrashings they have
received. they are the same old
Democrats all the way through,
with the same old cranks at the
head Of affairs.
A man who was and to certain
extent still is lobbyist Of excep-
tional shrewdness and vigor told
me last Sunday at the Hoffma D
House, that i'll all his experience
with Democratic legislatures at Al
bany he had never seen such a
E'mixed crowd as there was up
there now. The Tammany people
under Kelly's orders are behaving
some what but the rest Of the Dem
ocrats are such hoggish grabbers
for loayes or fishes that they would
seize on almost anything. The
numbers Of bills introduced to pro.
vide the whcrewith for coming ex.
legislators to Keep the wolf from
the door is amazing, and the eff
frontery with which the system OF
"you tickle me and I'll tickle you, y
is being carried out, takes even my
breath awayj
A peculiar instance Of the force
Of the imagination came to my
knowledge to-day. In a certain Of
fee there is employed as collector a
man who has been suffering from
heart disease for some years. A
few days ago he felt very Emucll
distressed He had an idea that
his physician was endeavoring to
conceal from him his true condi-
ton, and therefore went to & medi-
cal college and consulted two Of the
foremost specialists in the country.
After examining him thoroughly
and applying every test known to
science, they told him to prepare for
the worst, and that he could not by
any possibility live longer than five
weeks. This information so shock
ed the poor man that lie came to his
Office late ia the afternoon in a
perfectly dazed condition. He
walked mechanically and when
spoken to made. the queerest ans.
Wers. How can tell my tam-
ly.' he exclaimed after he had told
his employer Of his doom. The
gentleman who conceived the sin
cerest pity for him, gave him a note
Of introduction to another physi-
clan. He lett the Office and has
not returned since. In fact he did
not go to the physician at all. This
happened last Monday. The police
and private detectives have been
searching all over for him, but no
trace of him has yet been discover
ed. There is scarcely doubt that
he has committed suicide AS yet,
at the request Of the family moth
ing has got into the papers, since
they fear that should he be Still
alive and read about the search fol-
him, he will certainly make away
| with himself.
