The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1892-09-08

In ito regular order, 30 you ses No have
gained some four months with an in
creased docket. hope Mr.. Nelson win
bear'in mind that it is but fair and just
that the parties shall have their cases
considered In their regular order, and
that there Is no reason assigned why his
cases should be taken up and advanced
over others which were fled here prior
to his. BY order Of the secretary no
case is made special unless there is some
public int&est involved, or where to
require the case to await its regular call
upon tho docket would work practical
denial OF justice. Nothing Of that kind
appears in MIR. Nelson's case.
l enclose you a list giving their status
which will show that fair proportion
have been disposed of, and in a very few
weeks the majority Of them will have
been passed upon by the department.
Hoping that this will prove satisfactory,
am, yours very respectfully,
GEORGE CHANDLER, First Asst Secy.
