New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1891-08-19

State Treasurer Bobleter has not for.
gotten the value of printers ink, and
has accordingly issued his annual report
in neatly Autographed card, bearing a
picture of the capitol and the words,
"Compliments of Jos. Bobleter.''
Il tell you,'' said Ex-Deputy Insu:-
ance Commissioner W. NJ. Todd with
enthusiasm, as he chatted with few
friends in front of the Dakota House the
other day. II admire that man Foraker
of Ohio. I have had chance to watch
the campaign in that state the past few
weeks, and [ know now that Foraker
can instil enthusiasm into his party.
He is the Phil sheridan of Ohio politics.
With all the dash of the great cavalry
officer he will swoop down upon the
enemy and before they know it
he has gained victory. His boldness
and brilliancy compels one to admire
him." And then the ex.editor and pol.
itician drifted to state politics, here
and there getting in rub at Merriam,
and ever and anon extolling the traits
and virtues of Andrew Rollo McGill.
Mankato has produced young man
who bids fair to become national char
acter. His fame may not be of that en-
during kind that is better than riches,
but his profession is of that character
that gets riches. The y. m. recently
attended the Twin City Derby and there
as confidence man, heeced the various
horsemen out of large sums of money.
He pretended to be Harry I. Case, son
of J. I. Case OF Racine, and loans of
twenty and thirty dollars fell in without
any trouble. It is SAID shat he cleared
several hundred dollars but it spent as
soon as he made it. The Minneapolis
papers predict that he is destined to be-
come the king of all confidence men.
The boy is we'll known here and his peo.
pie are among the first families of our
nelghboring town. 1t is sad case to say
the least.-St. Peter Herald.
