The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1894-07-12
III is BRUENER.

As was expected by the most familiar
with the condition of affairs political,
Judge Theodore Bruener. in accordance
with Micheal Doran's recommendation
has been appointed Register OF the Land
Office at St. Cloud to succeed Alphonzo
Barto who has served several months
longer than His commission designated.
From the bagining there has been a
fierce fight over this appointment be-
tween Natio nal Committeeman Doran
and Major Baldwin, member of congress
from this district, who recommended Il
man named Ellenbecker of Little Falls
for the Office At no time, however,
have the friends of Judge Bruener felt
that his chandss of success were below
a certainty. t. was felt that Mr.. Doran
stood much loser to the administration
than did congressman Baldwin. The
delay. however, is difficult to account
for. 1t was bad politics. Had the APP
pointn1ent been promptly made there
would have been less feeling engered
The turning down of Major Baldwin
bv the prsidd int will exert a malevolent
influence upon his canvas for rejection.
1t goes to show that he is not in prime
favor at the White house, even in mat
tiers within hts own district.
The Herald congratulates Judge
Bruener upon his good fortune and if he
shows the G nspicous ability in dis
charging the duties of this office that
he has as Judge OF Probate. his rejection
will be fully indicated.
The following brief sketch of him is
from the st. Cloud Times:
Judge Theo Bruensr, the new register
of the st. Cloud land Office, was born in
the town oil (Reckhnghausen, Wesfalen,
Germany, pFil 18th, 1856. He came
to America anding here on April 5th,
1874, and having completed a classical
course in Gerd many. entered st. Francis,
Seminary as an instructor. Then he
went to Ann Arbor, where he graduated
from the law department of that cele-
brated western university with high
honnrs. In Milwaukee he next opened
an Office but not finding it profitable
come to st. Cloud on July goth, 1879.
Here he advanced rapidly in his profess
sion. He alsp began to take hand in
politics. He was first elected City Clerk
and i'm 1888 County ATTORNEY, winch
office he held three years until the fall of
1885, when he was elected Judge OF Pro-
bate, which position he has held ever
since. He was member of the last
Democratic National convention and
has been prominent in other respects.
THE seventh congressional district,
now represeh ted by H. E. Boeh, has
plenty of ex eellent material within the
republican party from which to select
good congressman. Hon. S. G. Com
stock. Frank NJ. Eddy and Geo. N.
Lamphere ha i've all been suggested as
possiable successors to Mr.. Boon, and
anyone of them would accept the nomi-
nation and be elected, providing it came
with cordiality. Mr. Boon, the populist
had less than seventy-five plurality two
years ago, and his nomination affords
him little confidence of beng his own
successor, indeed, his warmest friends are
not at all sanguine, on the other hand
the republicans are confident, and with
abundant re son. The republicans are
morally cert ain of receiving the sixth
and seventh congressional districts. In
fact, the only district in Minnesota which,
at this time, seems at all doubtful is the
third, and the case there is not hopless.
SENATOR d AVIS has the courage of his
convictions. He dare say the right thing
in terms that are unmistakeable. Being
requested by the A. R. U. to support the
resolution offered bv Senator Kyle OF
South Dakota, declaring that it was
not interfering with the United States
mail to .detach Pullman caIs from mail
trains, he telegraphed reply which un-
equivocally announced that he had no
sympathy with lawlessness, and could
not and would not support the resolu-
ton, which he declared was intended to
'.legalize lawlessness." There is a broad
distinction between politician and
statesman. and no one wiIlever question
on which side the line Senator Davis
may be found.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, in terms so
clear that no one may mistake them. has
declared for law and order, and in order
ing the regulars to Chicago to suppress
riot and rebellion has shown patriotic
fearlessness which meets with the hearty
approval OF all right thinking men.
Hon. LOREN FLETCHER was nomi-
mated for congress by the republicans Of
Hennepin countv-the Fifth district-on
Monday. The nomination elects.
