Ole Jorgenson, who once acted in the
capacity of county commissioner, has
received the nomination for auditor
He is well known to a large contingent
of voters, and the Review for one can
vouch for his competency to fill the po-
sition. His election is assured.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-09-24

The candidate for Judge Of Probate
needs no introduction. Mr.. Brandt pos
sesses an acquaintance with nearly ev-
cry voter of the county, and his we'll
known popularity among them in years
past will be very apt to again secure
his election by the usual large majority.
Nels Anderson, the enterprislng far
mer who is the nominee for sheriff, will
come before the people with sp,endid
recommendations. In many parts it is
true, he is not generally known, but be-
fore the campaign is over voters every
where will have chance to form his
acquaintance and we are badly mistak-
en- if they do not conclude that he will
make an acceptable official. His selec-
ton was good one.
J. NJ. Thompson is entitled to sup
port in his fight for the Office
of county attorney. He is one of
oho OAiSht0SG anu Ooo1 s1GtoL uoJ IL ILLS
section of the state, and there is no
gain-saying his fitness to fill the position
with ability and credit. Our voters
should see that he is elected.
l.. G.. Davis, who has been seeking
for a number of years for the nomina-
tion for school superintendent, has at
last succeeded. Well educated and in
every way qualified, we can assure the
people of the county that in electing
him, they will not have done amiss.
The other offices, while not so i'm
portant perhaps as those already men
toned. should nevertheless receive
careful, attention. Koch, Boock and
Laudenschlaeger being good men, all
of them should be elected. Sjgurdson
in the End and Hanson in the 4th are
also representative citizens and will
make able commissioners, representing
rot alone their own districts but the
county at large with cupability and
honesty.
On the whole the ticket is a strong
one, and if the Republicans of the
county pull together they can easily
redeem the county to the party.

Senator Davis will take the stump in
behalf of Gov. Merriam and the balance
of the state ticket. This explodes the
report set in circulation that Gov Mer-
riam is candidate for Davis seat in
the senate.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-09-24

Of the nominations it is we'll to say
little even thus early in the campaign.
H. M. Ball. the conventions choice for
representative, is gentleman in all
that the word implies. He is honest,
trustw orthy, logical and capable, and
is we'll fitted to represent and look after
the interests of his constituents. Add to
this the fact that he is a Republican
from sound convictions and not for vain
glory or Office, and Republicans can
take pride in giving him their votes.

The President Silent as to the
Judgeship.
HANFoRD's FRIENDS ANNOYED
Revenue Steamer to Carry the Malta
The Impending Montana sena-
torizl Contest.

WAsHISsroS CRY. Jan. 2s.-Much sur
prise is expressed on all sides that the pres
ident has not yet appointed federal judge
for Washington. Before any recommen-
daiions were made by the delegation from
that state notice was served by the admin
istrafion that the interests Of the state de-
msnded Judge Since that time nearly
two weeks have elapsed, and the president
has seen fit TO take no action.
The friends of Judge Hanford, who was
indorsed by both senators. do not under
stand the delay. The president is silent on
the subject and gives no reason to any
body. This silence and delay. coupled
with the fact that the president signified
his preference for Judge Calkins, lead the
friends OF the latter to hope that the presi-
dent is still considering him.
1t also occasions feeling of uneasiness
in the breasts OF not only the senators who
indorsed Judge Hanford. but his other
friends here. They believe. in view Of the
delay, that senatorial Endorsements may
not be needed. but that the president may
take the liberty Of appointing tho man
whom he pleases regardless Of senator's.
He has been known TO do such things.
The judgcship for Washington is regard
ed rs one OF the most vexed and most
mixed of all the situations growing out of
the distribution Of patronage since the be-
ginning of the administration.
The secretary OF the treasury has placed
the revenue steamer Rush at the disposal
OF the postmaster-genera for the purpose
of carrying mails between San Francisco
and Portland, Or, during the existence OF
the railroad embargo.
The Democrats of the Senate, although
in minority. propose to make stiff fight
on behalf of Maginnis and Clarke, of Mon
tana- They had probably paid closer at
tention to the case than the Republicans.
and il is said tonight that one or two
prominent Democrats from Montana, who
have recently been here. loaded them with
all sorts of ammunition in the shape of
statements and evidence which may be Of
use in the committee rooms.
The Democrats desire to delay action
until the Montana legislature adjourns, in
the hope that all four men may be sent
home and that Governor Toole will appoint.

WAsHfSGToS Cfrs, Jan. as.-George
Chandler. assistant secretary Of the inte-
rior, today gave q ruling that homestead
ess who have pre-c pted smaller number
OF acres than they are allowed under the
law may make a second entry to eonplete
the homestead OF land adjoining before he
has acquired full title 10 the FIRST tract.
The case comes from the land Office at
Vancouver: Wash. The land commission
er under the last administration concluded
the adjoining farm homestead entry Of J.
X. Cannon in the southwest quarter OF the
southeast quarter of section 9, township Is,
range IL. because he has one homestead
entry 10 land adjoining.
Mr.. Chandler reverses this decision. He
says il was the evident intention Of con-

should be vested in the entryman as soon
as he has formally complied with the laws
requirement. The Ownership" does not
necessarily await the complete investment
