COMING AGAIN.

Owing to his large and increasing
practice in this community, DIR. Ham,
of New York, will make return
visit to Baraboo at the Warren
House, June Sd. Those who have
been treated unsuccessfully by other
physicians will have an opportunity
to consult this eminent specialist. 1t
is we'll known fact, and one that
appeals to the judgment of every
thinking person, that physician
who devotes his whole time to the
study and investigation of certain
class of diseases must become bet
ter qualified to treat such diseases
than he who attempts to treat every
i without giving any special atten-
tion to any class of diseases. The
DOCTORS cures are remarkable. y
In the Chicago San of August 4,
is found the following concerning
two young men formerly of Mineral
Point:
Albert White and Richard Uren,
employees Of Mr.. Chas. Lanyon, Of
Wentworth avenue and Sixty-second
street, were before Justice Caldwell
Saturday on the charge of infring-
ing city ordinance in allowing
papers to blow about the streets.
Lieut.. Healey prosecuted. The de-
fense was that the young men were
cleaning out store room of old
trunks and carting them away along
with the paper wrappings. when the
wind blew strongly and scattered
some of the papers. A policeman
came along and locked the defend
ants up. The case was trivial one,
and Justice Caldwell dismissed it as
such.

am not here to say a word against

cratic ticket. Glad you said it. Mr..

1t has leaked out at last. w. w. En-
win, the great criminal lawyer, the
man who gets his hundred and thous-
ands of dollars for freeing the offenders
of the law, is not running around the
country for nothing, talking in the in.
terests of the Farmers Alliance, an or
ganization for which he has no more
sympathy than he has for the widow
against whom he defends the cold
blooded murderer. Erwin is after
something, and that something isthe
United States Senate. Is is easy enough
to see through it all, now that we have
been given clue to the puzzle. The
upper house of congress would certain
ly be a very nice place for the eloquent
Erwin to display his oratory; a cush-
Toned seat III the senate chamber would
indeed be a comfortable one for the
kid-gloved lawyer. Erwin would like
it; we know he would. But how does
it strike the people? Are they willing
to let 60 of Davis and make room for
this unprincipled counselor, who stands
ready to do anything to gain his end?
Are they ready to throw aside a man
who works not for himself, but uses all
his brilliance and craftsmanship in the
interests of his state and his country,
to give his seat to a man, who would
look after Erwin and Senator Erwin
alone? 1t is not at all probable, but
that is just what they are apt to do un-
kno wingly, when they vote to send
men to the legislature who are not
known to be Davis Republicans. Err
win will come around here in a short
while in company with that politician
Baker, and together they will try to
/ make the farmers believe that they are
their friends. They will endeavor to
see that Alliance men or Democrats
are elected to the legislature. 1t will
make no difference which. They will
settle all that after while. What they
want now are Alliance and Democratic
senators and representatives. IF they
succeed, it will not be Merriam who
succeeds Davis, but Bill Erwin, the
| glib and smooth-tongned lawyer. Do
the Republicans and friends Of Mr.. Da-
Wis in Minnesota care enough to take an
active part, one and all. in knocking
this scheme in the head BY electing the
whole Republican ticket from top to
bottom and particularly their repre-
| sentatives in the legislature?
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-10-01

Politics in the Fifth district is little
mixed up. The Farmers Alliance is
supporting Halvorson, the Republicans
are fighting for Comstock, the Demo-
Gratis have nominated A. j. Whiteman
of Duluth, and now that old political
jade, Gilman, has decided to run indie
pendently. The later ought to be bur
led 50 deep that he would never be
heard of again. The politics Of this
state has already suffered enough from
his corrupt methods. AS for White
man, from all that we can learn, he
would make mighty por excuse for a
congressman.
The conference report on the tariff
bill was accepted in the house on Sat-
urday by a vote Of i52 to 81. Before
the vote was taken, all the Minnesota
members and Senator Davis had con-
ference and the provisions of the bill
which they were most interested in
were discussed. No agreement was
made, but it was concluded that the
conference having made sugar free and
placed only sevcn-tenths of a cent on
binding Irvine, the state in these two
schedules had been well treated. These
reductions, and especially the reduction
of binding Irvine from the rate of q
cents per pound to seven mills, were
concessions that it was we'll to consider
before risking the defeat of the whole
bill, and there was, indeed, some doubt
about ever getting better rates in con-
ference. All the members therefore
voted for its passage.
The edict went forth from the 'sMe
and Nike moguls of the Democracy
last week, that Wilkinson should be in
duced to withdraw from the congress
sional race in the second district. Ac.
cordinglY VIM. Pitt Murray of ST. Paul
and E. G. PAIL went down to Mankato
to endeavor to induce old Mort to give
his consent to step out, the object being
OF course to give the Democratic bosses
endorsement to Baker, because Baker
would be more agreeable and more in
harmony with the railroad attorney
who heads the Democratic ticket. Mr..
Wilkinson however, couldn't see why
he should dc just as these St. Paul fell
lows desired nor why they should be
allowed to say just what should be done
in the second district, and persisted in
staying right where his party associates
had placed him. The effort therefore
was fruiiless. But what is to be thought
OF the men who had the supreme check
to assume to themselves the authority
to upset the work of conventions! Do
the Democrats of this district find the
principles, that they boastof, in follow.
ing the dictates of such men as Kelly
and Doran men who openly dare to
deride their expressed wish in the mat
ter OF nominations? Do they hold in
dependence and their own rights in
such light regard, that they will still
consent to vote for u man like Wilson,
who is the pet selection of these same
political brokers. If they do, it will in
deed have been demonstrated that Dem
ocratic bosslsm is every thing, and
boosted Democratic independence moth
ing.
