Rather small hole for the at one time
high up anda still higher aspiring office
holder and politician. But anything
| appears to satisfy men in the political
| swim after meeting backSet or two
| Waseca Radical.
The many friends of G.. F. Hendrix,
OF this city, hoped to see that gentleman
secure the plum, and delegation from
| here called upon the governor last Fri
day to press Mr.. HendryX's claims, but
the governor had already made up his
mimi to appoint Mr.. Gilman, and their
| appeal was uSeless.-Sauk Center Ava
lanche.
Some years ago Mr.. Gilman was
swept out among the rubbish, and since
then has occupied the questionable DO
sition of political dog with a sore
head. He has openly knitted the party
at every opportunity. What Gov. Nell
son could see in this man to give him a
| good position is one of the mysteries of
politics. -Worthington Advance.
Charities worst political enemies seem
| willing to admit that he is a pretty good
| fellow personally, and that ambition
was his only fault. Some of them, too,
are about as glad to see him securely
| housed in this limited position as were
the nations of Europe to see Napoleon
| confined within the narrow limits of st.
Helena. Herald.
The Sentinel is pleased with the ap-
pointment for the reason that we have
unbounded confidence in Mr.. Gilman's
ability to make our state library the
best in the West. and Furthermore, we
| believe Gov. Nelson would. not have
made the appointment if Mr.. Gilman
had not possessed the necessary qualifi-
cations to build up and strengthen this
most Important office.-North st. Paul
Sentinel.
