New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-09-17

The Anoka Union has entered it's
twenty. sixth volume. The Union is
one of the best papers in the state.
The Window Reporter began It's
twentieth year last week. The Report
er is one of the most fearless opponents
of Republican principles in this portion
of the state, and the success that it has
experienced is certainly deserved.
In the Maine elections the Democrats
centered all their efforts on Speaker
Reeds district, hoping thereby to defeat
him and cause the Maine election to
have bearing on national politics. In
the latter they succeeded but not in the
way that they desired. Reed was elect
ed in spite of them and his conduct as
speaker of the house endorsed by giving
him an increased majority over two
years ago. eff. :
Democratic leaders and the Democra-
tic press have been making good use of
the prating and high-sounding Err.

The Wisconsin, Democrats, Who NOM
mated Peck and formulated the plat
form which asks for the repeal of the Ben
nett law, are already having their eyes
opened to their mistake. The better
classes in their own party have seen lit
to denounce the convention sunpatriotic
action and come out for Hoard for gov
ernor. Republican good sense and
Democratic foolishness has ensured
Wisconsin for the Republicans this
year by splendid majority.
The Midway News, published at Mer-
riam Park, has this to say of the man,
who in. accepting the nomination for
governor said that he was not there to
say a word against railroads or cor

ses The Democrats missed their calcula-
tons on the Maine election. They had
expected that it would show decreased
majority for the Republicans, but in
stead of that the voters gave the full
Republican ticket the biggest plurality
known to that state in twenty years.
Now let Minnesota go and do likewise,
by returning Republican congressman
from every district and by giving the
state ticket a rousing vote. There are
splendid reasons this year for showing
that the party is still on top.
Doc. Ames, who was rival of Will
sons in the Democratic convention,
made the motion which gave the Vino
ma man the unanimous nomination In
doing so he pledged the ticket the full
support of the Hennepin Democracy
and of himself, but we have greatly
mistaken the nature of the Minneapolis
candidate, if from now until election he
doesn't act as he did two years ago.
We see no more reason why DR.. A. A.
Ames should delight in being ignored
by the bosses than anybody else. It
isn't human nature, nor is it politics.

countries producing sugar, molasses
coffee, tea and hides, and, while it is not
as far reaching as the majority would
have liked, itgoes q great ways towards
removing the objections to the house
measure. The bill will now go to the
house and in all probability will be-
come law. If it does, the senate
should not drop the discussion of recip-
rocity. It is a policy that should be ex-
tended to the north of US as we'll as
south, and the sooner the Republicans
bring it about the better it will be for
them and for. the country.
