New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1893-07-19

Dosyou think, Mr.. Leaders, that you can
keep it up much longer!
The Volksblatt says that,since the cleo
ton is past, let it be past. They didn't
talk that way last spring when they had
majorities to crow over.
Was it strictly in keeping with Chas.
silyerson's manifestations Of honesty anu
principle to wish and state openly on the
stage of Turner Hall that if the women
who were asked whether their husbands
haze second papers or not s:would only
swear it would be all right Is it just
right to want women to swear to some
thing they know nothing about?
A majority of nineteen may elect,
but it doesn't console the leaders who
were in the fight solely to see how bad
they could beat the other side. To them
it must present all the level of Dutch
landscape, with all its windmills, but
without trace of anything to cheer or
to go into ecstacies over. In other words
It's pretty fiat.
1t is the opinion Of that very enlight-
ened journal-the Volksblatt- that people
! are divided since Saturday night as to
whether Turner Hall is the proper place
to hold elections. The only objection
that we can see to having them there
is that order is apt to be preserved
and that only those will be permitted to
vote who have right to do so.
Silverson says he doesn't visit the
schools because the New Ulm Review

After Mr.. Koch bought those lots from
the school board by selling them first tc
Mr.. Pfaender and then repurchasing them
few days later for himself, didn't
he tell the Board at the next meeting
that, if they were not satisfied with the
sale and the price paid, he would deco
the lots back at once? And are they not
lots for which there had been no de.
mand? And didn't he have just as much
right, as citizen,to buy them as anyone
else? Besides wasn't it highly honorable
in him to offer to give them back to the
Board in case any member was dissatis-
fed? We think it was, and it would
look much better for Mr.. Silverson if he
had raised his objections in the Board,
instead of waiting till he had a good
chance to make political capital out of
Mr.. Koch's action, when Mr.. Koch wasn't
around to defend himself. The whole
BUSINESSES small and beneath respectable

splendid position upon the question of
gymnastics at the Union Hall ratifca-

the stand taken by the various newspa-
pers upon said excellent position he for
got to mention what figure the Review
cut in the affair. Ras the DR.. forgotten
how he took the writer out into the
country and told us the particulars of
that meeting, and how, when the Review
published a report based upon that inter-
view and innocently mlsrepresenteds some
of the members, it tickled theDr. all over?
And has he forgotten how Peter Scherer
with just indignation, called his atten-
