New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1886-10-20

in the departments here will not this
year exercise the political privilege of
an American citizen with their old time
unanimity and freedom. The reasons
! are obvious, Their action is marked
! and noted by their democratic chiefs.
| and while there has been no positive
inhibition, they are made to feel that to
vote for the Republican nominees will
not be considered an unobtrusive exer-
else of their right. Mr.. Cleveland's
sham civil service is supposed to polit-
ically emasculate governments employees,
but it is well known that members of
his cabinet and high government func-
tionaries are taking an interest in the
pending elections that is by no means
unobstructive. Colonel Lamont was in
New York City during the past week,
for the purpose, it is stated, of shopping
for his wife; but strange to say, Mr..
Bayard, Governor Hill, Secretary Man
ming. and other prominent Democrats
were there at the same time, and they
| were in consultation. Coincidentally
| mayor is to be elected in New York,
and unless the antagonistic factions can
be harmonized. the mayor will be a Re-
publican and New York will be lost to
Cleveland in 1888. Perhaps by unob-
trusive exercise of political rights, Mr..
Cleveland means the secret exercise in
which he employees his lieutenant La.
! mont.
have heard from a very direct
source, an explanation of the very close
alliance between the Buffalo phoenix
and the sphinx, his private secretary.
1t is known that the President consults
Lamont more than any one else. When
Lamont is absent, sick or asleep, the
administration is paralyzed. At some
future..day-it may be fifty years hence
there will probably be some interest
ing posthumous publications in relation
to the secret springs, the ropes and pull
lies behind the scenes of this admins
tration. The diaries of Col. Lamont,
his wife, or of Mrs. Cleveland may get
into print Some members of Mr..
Cleveland's Cabinet may let the world
know much that they do not even like
to believe now, and it will be known
then that the shrewdest and most pow
erful advisor at the Presidents council
chamber was the mysterious little man
who appears there only as his private
secretary.
The wonderful success achieved by
DR.. E. M. Gallaudet in educating the
deaf. dumb and blind, during the sew.
eral years that he has been in charge of
the National Deaf Mute College at Ken
dali Green in this city, has given him a
reputation second to none in the world,
as 81 deaf-mute educator. The college
at Kendall Green is the only collegiate
institution in existence for the deaf 1t
is well known in England that in no
| country has the education of the deaf
and blind received such careful atten.
ton as in the United States, and on
Saturday last DR.. Gallaudet sailed for
England upon an invitation of the Brit
ish Government, sent through the Brit.
ish Minister, to appear before q royal
commission on the education of the deaf
and blind. The President who is e1.
cfcio patron of the Deaf Mute College,
at once gave his approval to DR.. Gal.
laudet accepting the invitation, and he
expressed great interest in the matter.
| A great deal of fault is found by the
Washington banks on; account of the
recent order directing that the new sill.
yer certificates seould be distributed
from the sub-treasury in New York
City. They complain that it is an ex.
traordinary business regulation which
requires them to ship silver to New
York, and pay charges upon return
packages, when it would have been
much more convenient for them to have
deposited the silver at the Treasury in
Washington. There are over twenty
eight hundred national banks in the
country, and as each of the banks viii
be supplied with $1,000 of the new one
dollar certificates, before outside or
ders will receive attention, it will ne
cessarily be sometime before the bill!
will enter into general circulation.
