The Democratic Caucus.

The Democrats of New Ulm, about
thirty of them, held a caucus at Turner
Hall on Thursday evening for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the county
convention at Sleepy Eye. p. G. Pahl
acted as chairman of the meeting and
Gustav Fischer as secretary. The real
business for which the caucus was
called was disposed of at once, and the
following gentlemen were chosen as del
egates: M. Mullen, F. g. PAIL, Fred
Pfaender, Albert Behnke, A. j. Eek
stein, Francis Baasen, Albert Bogen,
Theo. Mueller, R. Pfeferle, L. Schmelz
W. T. Eckstein, Jos. Flor, Geo.
Schmidt and Julius Krause.
AS soon as these had been elected, c..
w. H. Heidemann rose to his feet and
said that he had resolution to offer.
With that he drew a scrap of manu-
script from his pocket and read reso-
ton, which was to the effect that the
delegates who were elected at that
meeting should be instructed to use all
honorable means to have the name o
E. G. PAIL presented as candidate for
lieutenant governor on the state ticket.
After reading it he went on in a point
ed speech to say that, while he knew
that the Democratic press and promi-
nent Democratic leaders had brought
out PAIL for the position of state treas
urer as well as for congress, he knew
also that the Republicans had honored
two of New Ulm's citizens with nomin-
ations for those places and he could not
see that anything could come of putting
up a New Ulm man against them on
the Democratic ticket but bitter local
fight, that would be void of desirable
results. He had an idea too that the
bringing out of PAIL for these offices
originated with prominent St. Paul peo-
pie who were political and personal en-
emies of the Republican candidates. If
such was the case he denied the right of
the party to drag himself or the demo-
Gratis of New Ulm into sides in a fight
that was was started out of personal
envy and spite. Neither did he think
that Mr.. PAIL would lend himself to
such a scheme or that he had the de-
sire or the time to accept of either Of
flee. He then showed wherein Mr.. PAIL
would be suitable and strong candi-
date for lieutenantg governor. The idea
met with favor and when vote was
taken on the resolution it was passed
without dissenting vote. Mr.. PAIL
then arose, and, addressing those pres
ent as fellow Democrats, thanked them
for their vote of confidence and told
them that while he could have the nom
nation for the state treasurership for the
asking, he would not accept of it under
any consideration. He realized chat
such q step would not only place his
own and the friends of Col. Bobleter in
New Ulm in q peculiar position, but
that it would also divide the German
vote. Should he be given the nominal
ton, however, for the second place on
the ticket, he was confident that the
German vote would be united for him
as against Ives, the temperance man
from St. Peter, and that the party
would be in a better position to poll a
full vote,

NOT A QUALIFICATION.

The argument is used freely at Columbus
in favor OF Mr.. Brice's Senatorial aspira-
tions, that "the man who could get ahead of
Vanderbilt ought to be Senator"
This alludes to the great financial feat of
Mr.. Brice and his associates, in loading up
the Nickel Plate road with an overwhelm-
ing burden of bogus stocks and bonds, and
unloading the worthless stocks on the Van
derbilt interests. As this was done through
the Vanderbilt anxiety to buy up competi-
tion, the public will not regard Mr.. Brice's
success in selling property at twice its
value, as anything very blameworthy.
But is it, as Mr.. Brice's admirers seem to
think, proof of his qualifications for Sena-
tor? Is expertness in thimble-rigging and
stock-watering operations the right prepara-
tion for making the laws of the nation? Is
the man who has made immense profits out
OF the infusion of bogus values into the cor
porate system of the land the best man to
deal with the legislative problems arising
from that cause of evil?
1t may not have much effect on the Brice
contest, but it is worth while for the people
to consider, that prominence in the practice
of corporate abuses does not furnish the
qualifications that are neededin the framing
of just and salutary legislation.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-01-07
THE OVERHEAD WIRES TO GO

The announcement of Mr.. Bigelow, the
head of the Department of Public Works,
that he has concluded an arrangement with
the various electric companies. by which
all their wires will be put under ground,
shows gratifying and surprising progress.
The promise that the present year will see
the streets wholly relieved of the nuisance
and danger Of the overhead wires, gives the
city the expectation of as great a reform as
any that has taken place for years.
Such an arrangement entities the head of
the Department of Public Works to the
highest credit and cannot fail to rank
among the really brilliant achievements of
his administration. His policy of avoiding
the collisions and quarrels which have
taken place in other cities, is certainly a
wise one, if the removal of the wires can be
secured without such forcible steps. Posi-
bly, the experience OF other cities may
suggest that promises to put the wires un-
derground in year. are not always redeemed
at maturity. Still the fact that Mr.. Bigelow
has secured the promises is marked ad-
vance on the previous attitude of the cleo
NAAS pohAOes ohO VIC AAng AOpO bAo6 AS
will make an equal success in requiring the
fulfllment of the promises.
The statements do not make it clear that
complete and comprehensive plan of burying
the wires, is adopted, as it would be wise to
do at this juncture. The plan should not
only provide for existing wires, both of the
high tension and low tension class; but it
should also include accommodations for the
wires of future companies, in order that the
streets need not be torn up every time a new
electric company reaches the city, More
over whatever plan may be adopted should
be given the authority of municipal law, by
an ordinance, to secure that it shall be faith |
fully adhered to.
The suggestion that these points should be
looked to, is pertinent for the future; but it |
is not offered in depreciation ofMr. Bigelow's |
great credit for what he has secured. If he |
adds the removal of the overhead wires,
this year, to the gain of the Schenley Park, |
last year, he will have secured record such
as few municipal officers can rival.

PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE.

JOHN G. WHITTIER's latest poem has been
more widely copied than any he ever wrote.
PRESIDENT CARNoT has entirely recovered
from his attack of influenza and has resumed
the holding of receptions.
Mr.. STANLEY long ago received the freedom
of the City of London. but not the golden cas-
ket in which the parchment is contained. That
will be presented to him on his return this
month.
PRESIDENT HARRISON has been presented by
Southern admirers with unique relic of the 1S40
campaign. 1t is a gourd, which was used to dip
cider from the barrels that were used as en-
blems along with the coonskins and log cabins.
PRINCE LOUIS BoNAPARTE has been spend.
ing few days in Paris. He is a good-natured
young man, more like the women than the men
of his family. He is favorite of the Gear of
Russia, who calls him .cousin." Louis has had
great social success in Russia.
Mr.. HENRY KITsoN, whose model for a
statue of Farragut has been accepted by Bos-
ton, has received gold medals for his works
from the Queen of Roumania and several art
associations and from the King Of Roumania
the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
PRINCE KAwANA-NAKoA, nephew Of King
Kalakaua, of the Sandwich Islands, has entered
the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester,
England. The Prince is said to be very good
young man of religious tendencies. Naturally
he is not favorite of Kalakaua.
THE Rappahannock, the largest square
rigged wooden ship ever built in Maine. was
launched at Bath yesterday. Mr. Arthur Sewall,
one of the builders as outcome of President
Harrison's visit to Bath in August, received a
heavily framed portrait of the President, with
the following autograph inscription: "May
every voyage of the ship Ra2pahannock be
prosperous. Benjamin Harrison" The por-
trait is hung up in the cabin of the ship which
will load at New York for San Francisco.
