New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-10-31
IN EARNEST WORD.


candidates on the Republican ticket,
aid urge that all voters in favor OF
these men, all of whom are well known
and above reproach, do their full duty
at the polls. It is not only right and
proper TO cast your vote, but it is me-
cessary, if you wish to see your candi-
dates elected, to see to it that your neigh
Dor and friends do not neglect their duty
| In this respect. Remember that your vote
is not the decisive one, but that in order
to make it count, it should be accom-
panied by the vote of those who are in
sympathy with your choice. In this
wise you serve The cause. the rights of
which you defend, and the representa-
tives of which you wish to honor.
As to the merits of the republican
candidates for President and Vice Pre-
sident, suffice it to say, that we have
shown that not single blame has been
brought against them, that the country
over, Harrison and Morton are esteemed
not only as loyal republicans, but as
honorable. honest and able citizens. Both
are the friends of labor, and advocate
those policies which have been proven
as best serving the cause of the farmer
and working-man. They are unallied
with the evils against which your efforts
and the strength of every other Ameri-
can citizen must be directed, the gigantic
trusts. They are not in sympathy with
any measure which would deprive the
laborer of his wages, which would by an
! abandonment of our system of protec-
ton place him on the level of the Euro
pean poor, nor would Harrison, the old
and patriotic soldier, who has welded
| the sword for the maintenance of the
Union, deprive his comrades of their
rights, veto the pension needed by
every crippled survivor of the rebellion,,
every widowed wife, every helpless
mother and child.
If you are therefor in favor of man
who has the repect of all, against whom
not even the opposing political party
could say a single word, see that the
| ticket you cast into the ballot-box next
Tuesday, reads for Harrison and his
electors, headed by the name of one of
Minnesota's Oldest and best citizens,
Mons Grinager.
For our own state we need q man of
business ability and integrity. and Will
liam r. Merriam, the standard bearer
of our party. deserves that character.
Repeated charges against it, statements
that.he is rich, monopolistic banker,
have been nailed as lies, and not in q
single instance has it been proven that
money is the main facter serving in
Merriam's interests. He is prominently
associated with the chief agricultural
enterprises of our state, being the able
president of the State Agricultural So
clety, and having conducted the affairs
OF this association for the benefit of our
farmers.
The rest of the candidates on the state
ticket arc too well-known to need spc.
cial mention, and all of them, Rice,
Matson, Bobleter and Clapp have
faithfully served the state during the
last administration. See that their
names appear on your ticket.
| For judicial offices, Gilfilan, Collin
and Webber are in the field, and these
honored gentlemen, against whom not
a single word can be uttered, deserve
your support
OF great Importance is the Office of q.
S. representative, and we must send .
man to Congress. who knows our wants
and whose interests are Identical with
ours. He must needs be candidate
who deserves the undivided support Of
businessmen, laborers and farmers, and
this man is John Lind. Ably and con-
scientionsly has he served us while he
was at Washington, and has shown that
he knows what we need. He has lived
| among us as an honest, faithful citizen
and merits a second term.
| Our county ticket has been selected
with due consideration for the impor.
lance OF the offices to be filled, and all
of the candidates, old and respected
residents of the county, are well worthy
of your support.
Oscar Erickson, the candidate for rep
resentatiye to the State Legislature, is a

man against whom not word can be
said. he is fully able to take charge 81
such an Office, and will do all he can
for the interests Of Brown County.

Auditor, is former resident Of New
