New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-10-01
The Ninth SEM torial District will for

The Ninth SEM torial District will for
the next four years be represented in
the senate by a Republican. The Re
publicans of the district decided to that
effect, when at Redwood Falls last week
they nominated Hon. S. d. Peterson,
of New Ulm, the strongest man in. the
two counties. His opponent is a Dem
ocrat by the name of Baker, and, while
he is good man, Peterson's popularity
is such that he will be elected by a good
majority in spite of combined opposi.
ton against him. In accepting the
nomination, that was rendered him by
acclamation, Mr.. Peterson said that he
proposed to stand by the farmers; that
he believed that they were entitled to
as much favor as the generally favored
few; and that if elected he would look
after their interests. This, however, is
only in line with Mr.. Peterson's former
record in the senate, which is marked
by his success in carrying through the
tree bounty bill and in reducing the
rate of interest, and we can present him
to the voters of both counties as fit
representative for each. The resolu-
tions endorsing Davis are also of the
right tone, and these, we understand,
Mr.. Peterson is prepared to stand by.
The Pioneer Press of Friday con-
tanned the followed of interest TO read
ers in this section. 1t relates to E. G..
Pahl's candidacy for lieutenant govern
or. From an inside view of the stu
alton, it appears that there is a little
rift within the lutte which produces dis
cordant strains from the Democratic
band wagon. It was related yesterday
on high authority, that the members OF
the Democratic state central committee
differ very materially as to the manner
of conducting the present campaign,
and it is also said that E. G. PAIL, of
New U!m, the Democratic nominee for
lieutenant governor, has decided to go
it alone in bringing the issues and mer-
its of his candidacy before the voters of
the state The Pioneer Press man yes

Pahl's, who stated that the would. be
lieutenant governor came to this city q
day or tWo ago. and after vainlv wait
ing around the Democratic headquarters
and the Merchants MOTEL for about half
q day, in the hope of seeing Secretary
Smalley or Chairman Campbell, decid-
ed to take little trip over the state in
his own interest. 1t is also said that
Mr. PAIL left behind him few vigor-
Gus expressions which We're anything
but complimentary to the manner in
which the Democratic state committee
