The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1892-09-01

The Judge has . gray beard; an,
the remark Of Good Thunder wa
amusing to him. Giving the old In
dian scout quarter as souvenir, tn
party drove on leaving the dusky lead
or to mediate upon the deeds of OF,
Father Time. They reached Redwoo,
Falls Thursday night, and Frida,
morning started for the Yellow Medi
cine agency grounds,the Judge armet
with gun. They failed to find tn,
historic spot, however, and returned
home. On the way back the Judg,
espied q hawk, and fired:
'9The hawk fell over dead, but The
gun kicked SO badly that I concluded
it was intended to kill from both
ends" remarked Judge Flandrau, hui
morously.
Returning to Redwood in the even
ing the falls was visited, and the old
mill site and race we're quickly located
by the veteran lawyer, although it has
been sc years since he saw the spot
Ramsey Falls was also visited, but
were too dry for lengthy inspection.
The remainder of the evening was
spent, partly at the residence of Mrs.
Schmahl, and the remainder at the
Commercial, where the Judge made
his headquarters. Saturday morning
the caravan started for st. Peter, by
way of the Lower Sioux Agency,
Sleepy Eye and New Ulm.
Judge Flandrau was interviewed on
the political situation, just before re-
firing Friday evening. He is a staunch
Democrat,and was the man who placed
the name of D. w. Lawler before the
Democratic State convention for gov
ernor. He said:
AS far as I can see we have better
chance of winning than for many
years, and particularly in this State.
The nomination of D. w. Lawler for
governor, is received with great favor,
and the young men all over the State
are out for him and propose to land
him winner"
elbow about the electoral ticket in
this Sta:e7"
eve never had better chance since
1857 to get nine electors from this
State. A triangular fight being on
means that we are likely to pull out a
winner, and that Minnesota will cast
for Cleveland"
"What majority, if any, do you give
Dan Lawler in Ramsey county,"
"He will get from three to five
thousand majority, sure"
"Will he carry Hennepin!"
81 think SO, I believe the nationality
dodge will hurt Knute Nelson. The
Scandinavians will vote against him
because it is claimed that they will al
ways vote for one of their Nationality,
and Americans will vote against him
on account of his nationality.
"Will he cut into the Peoples Party
vote?"
"No, sir, not bit; but DonneIly
will not get over 10000 votes, and the
remainder of the votes will be divided
between Lawler and Nelson. Donnel-
ly's scheme is to get a strong follow
ing in the legislature, and if not to
elect himself a U. S. Senator to sue
coed Davis, to get enough votes to die
tate the nominee, and command his
price, either cash or political recogni-
ton.
"Who do you think. he'll throw his
support to-"
"Well, naturally to Gov. Merriam"
"Do you think Gov. Merriam will
be elected?"
"The fight will be a triangular one,
no party having majority, and if the
naming of the man is made question
of cash Merriam will be the man. He
is ambitious, and has lots of money.
Besides, John L. Merriam, who has
an income of $4,000 year, wouldn't
mind using portion of his time and
money in booming Billy"
Judge Flandrau, in concluding,
spoke of the marvellous changes made
in the valleys through which the In
dams roamed at large 81 years ago
beautiful and productive farming
