New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-12-03

Just at present speculation is rife as
to who will be the presidential nominees
in 1892. Were it to be decided to-day,
Blaine would undoubtedly be the choice
of the Republicans and Cleveland the
accepted Moses of the Democrats, but
time and circumstances alter many
things. and before year and a half
have expired there will be many men
who will have sprung into prominence
as presidential aspirants. Of the two
now occupying public attention, Blaine
seems to have the most enduring boom.
Always an acknowledged leader in his
party there are great number of Repub-
licans who have looked forward hope
fully to the time when the brilliant
Maine man might be chosen to fill the
presidential chair, and they will take
this opportunity to urge his election
with renewed vigor. Besides his
reciprocity views have taken strong
hold of the people in ali sections of the
country, and they will materially
strengthen his chances for nomination.
On the other hand, Cleveland, while
having for the present an enthusiastic
following that might give him the nom-
ination il. it were to be rendered at
once. will, in the two years to come,
have hard work holding his own. In
the majority of states, it is true, he is
the preferred of all candidates. but the
fact That he is not the unanimous choice
of his own state will. work against him.
To have New York seems necessary
and essential to a Democratic victory.
Without it, the Democrats are almost
certainly lost, and it is not to be expect
ed.that they WILDE so wanting in shrewd-
ness as to put up candidate who cannot
be reasonably certain of carrying the
pivotal state. For four years now
Cleveland and Hill have been fighting
like cats in a backyard for the political
supremacy in New York. Thus far the
former has been strong enough, or rsth-
or Hill has been willing to allow him
the state in the national conventions,
but in the elections, the governor has
had the upper hand and has exercised
his advantage to the detriment of the
swings the state with boss hand, and
no Democrat can hope to win in the.
Empire state. He beat Cleveland
two years ago, and stands ready to do
it again two years hence. For that
reason it seems improbable that the
Cleveland boom will last. Some
other man than either Cleveland or
Hill, but satisfactory to Hill, seems to
stand the best show.

The question of better county
roads is a subject of almost univer-
sal discussion through the country
this winter. Jefferson county. Ohio,
seems to have reached a solution OF
the question, and the various town,
ships will issue bonds, and with the
proceeds will make pixies. Reduced
grades and thorough macadamized
roads offer the best solution and the
only one for bad roads.

The Agricultural Insurance Company.
Of Waterfowl. New York. was orsanized
and commenced business in March. 1855,
with charter combining lis risks entire
Is to farm property. The charter has
been amended 90 as to include private
residences in cities and villages. and
other property not more hazardous--
The officers of the Company have never
allowed it 20 be diverted from this poll
cy. Many of It's contemporaries Of lwen-
~ years ago. have been swept away b
the devastating fires in our large citisa.
while. this Company by its system Of
isolation from business risks. has steadi-
" pursued It's prosperous course. vim
ming It's way TO popularity and strength,
until It stands second TO no Company
for permanence and aafety. Il, there
fore, confidentsily appeals for patron
age TO the farmer, whose occupation ex-
empts him from business hazards: to
those who have retired from business
and its uncertainties, and desire securi-
~ for their lifetime accumulation; and
to the business man who Wishes % exc
emPt his home from the uncertainties
Of traffic offering each of them an in
surAnce in harmony with his desires
Prudent men often deed their homes to
their wives to preserve them from busi-
ness calamity; legislatures pass exemp-
ton laws, and Congress Homestead bills
TO secure homes; and the Agricultural
Insurance Company was Organized for
their future protection from calamity
that no law or human foresight can
guard against. A Company doing .
general business may be = protection
under ordinary circumstances; still it
lacks that element of security and GER
tainty offered by Company doing only
an isolated residence business. This
Company is now admitted to be the
strongest Company in the World, in lie
specially, and its history of over thirty
years is asuiiieient guarantee of the pro-
lection afforded by It's policies.
