New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-08-22

So recklessly has this been done that the
state ls now confronted with the appropria-
| tlons exceeding the revenues so the public
lnstitutons are now being run upon
/ credit
VII lnspectlon-lt has ignored that princi-
pie OF legislation which, when possible, leaves
| the execution of laws to the self-interest OF
men, and has created an oil inspector, whose
tees are paid by the consumer and amount to
/ S2o, 600 per year, and the legislature at it's
last session refused to take any action though
| requested =
We particularly arraign the present execu-
| tive OF the state for he has persistently re-
fused to interpose his veto for the protection
OF tne pubic treasury against the extrava-
| CANT legislature. We commend to his consid-
GRAFTON the example of Grover Cleveland as
| evidence the wholesome influence upon vicious
| legislation which an intelligent execu-
i've can exercise by a judicious
and resolute exercises of the veto power. He
| has debased the civil service of the state BY
removing officers of mature experience in or
der to pay the debts and discharge the obi
cations OF a political campaign. Under him
/ the Judiciary of this state for the first time
IN our history has been prostituted for the
purposes of factional partisanship, and men
OF knowledge incompetency have been clothed
| with the Judges ermine as q compensation
| Tor their political services in the caucus and
| upon the stump. We submit that the time
/ mas come Tor the decisive overthrow of the
politicians who hayeso long directed the af-
fairs OF our state. We insist upon a thor
/ ough revision of the existing methods of
state government, to the end that taxation
may be radically and permanently reduced
| that no more money shall be taken from
| the people than is absolutely necessary
| for the economical administration of the
| legitimate affairs of the state; that super
! fuous offices shall be abolished and necessary
| offices consolidated, the expense of maintain
| ing the same reduced and the efficiency in
creased; that appropriations shall be res 5rict-
| ed to objects OF general public benefit; that
our railroad and warehouse legislation shall
! be SO framed as to afford just facilities to our
| people for the sale and transportation OF
| their pr oducts without unfair discrimination
| IN favor OF individuals or localities; that the
rates of transportation of freight and passen-
| gers on such roads be reduced to the lowest
| point consistent with q fair remuneration to
| the railroads for the service rendered
| by them; that the transfer of freight
| from one road to another on reasonable
! terms and the adjustment of rates, so that
no more shall be charged for short than for
long hauls, shall be rigidly enforced; and
| that the entire railroad system of the state
| snail be 80 regulated as to discharg the
duties OF common carriers with out dis
crlmlnatlon, upon reasonable terms and with
| equal benefit to all the people of the whole
shall be the only tests; appointments to the
civil service; and, finally, that the legislation
and administration ofpublic affairs shall be
! wholly and only such as will conduce to the
| prosperity of all our people and the develop
ment of the entire state
The perpetuity of amocratic institutions
| depends on the purity of elections, and that
| can best be secured by a really secret ballot.
| We, therefore, favor a reform of our methods
OF voting, based upon the principles of the
| Australian system, thus making impossible
| The coercion OF purchase ofvoters
| SECOND DAYS WORK.
Eugene M. Wilson appeared in the conven-
| ton, in response to official notification and
made good speech amid much applause
and enthusiasm. His remarks were of a
! peaceful and soothing nature and did much
| to restore some degree Of harmony, which
had been absent hitherto
But when it came to nominating candi-
date Tor Lieutenant governor the row broke
| out again, and an hour was spent in quar-
| rellng over the selection of man. The same
trouble occurred with the other candidates,
