New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-02-28
LIND is FOR WASHBURN,
The !Ex.Congressman So Expresses Him
self
HI will Favor L. P, Hunt for State Auditor
and Block, of St. Peter, for
State Treasurer.
He thinks the Republican State Conven-
ton Should Nominate a Candidate
for United States Senator.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20. - When
John Lind, the ex- congressman and po-
litical leader of New Ulm. was in Wash
ington few days ago he devoted most
of his attention to his case before the
Interstate commerce commission, but on
few occasions lapsed from his intention
not to talk politics and in so doing he
dropped some interesting observations
| about North Star politicians and the
game to be played this fall. Mr.. Lind
intimates that the southern part of the
state has formed all alliance against the
north. He docs not mean that he is
against any Of the candidates from the
Sixth and Seventh districts asindividuals,
but, as between the men In his own Sec
ton who want office and the men from
the north he is for his neighbors. On
this score he is prepared to do valiant
fighting for Editor Hunt, of Mankato, as
against Editor Dunn, of Princeton. He
is also for St. Peters candidate for state
treasurer, Mr.. Block, as against any
other man now in the field. AS for his
own ambition, it is evident that Mr..
Lind has made up his mind this is not
good time to want something. He
will try his hand as private in the
ranks and will try to help his friends.
On the senatorial question, in view of
the fact that it has been limited that Lind
might be candidate himself, his posi-
ton is doubly interesting. Mr.. Lind is
for Washburn. He says that there is not
much talk in the Second district on this
natter; and he gives as reason that all
the sentiment which has been manifested
is favorable to giving Senator Washburn
a second term.
When asked as to whether the Repub.
! lican state convention should lndorse the
candidacy of any man for senator, Mr..
Lind said: Yes. As long as the pre-
cedent has been established I think it
should be followed in the present case.
I think the Republican delegates, com
ing, as they do, from all over the state.
are we'll qualified to indicate what their
} people want. Nor do regard it as a
reflection upon the intelligence or the
integrity of the Legislature which is to
do the electing later on
There is, however, another reason why
} Mr.. Lind, as friend of Washburn's,
should favor declaration by the state
convention. It is generally assumed
that Gov. Nelson will be re-nominated.
Now, if the same convention that de-
clares Nelson the choice of the Republic
cans Of the state as candidate for gov
ernor turns around and declares fol-
Washburn, no excuse could be named why
Nelson should allow his name to be used
in connection with the senatorial success
sion.
J, What Mr.. Lind is to get ont Of this mr.
, rangement is bard to guess. There is Z
possibility that he may be put up as q
candidate for governor to be run in with
4 the aid Of the friends Of Washburn in
case there appears to be some danger Of
coup BY the Nelson forces.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-02-28

An ugly looking building on the cor
ner of a block in the center of which
stands a magnificent pile, is at present
used for the court. That is on the sec
ond floor. On the lower floor resides
the sheriff and his family, and back of
their residence part is the New Ulm jail,
a not very inviting place. In the matter
of a court house New Ulm is unfortunate.
The county refuses to vote .,onds for the
erection of new one.
New Ulm is far behind Redwood Falls
IN the matter of hotel accommodations.
The Dakota, where everything is neat
and clean, and where the best German
meal in the world is to be had, is a bad
composition of wood and brick, heated
by stove. Mrs. Sitter, the landlady, and
her genial son, Otto, are not inclined to
tear down and rebuild that which is now
a blg paying investment. You can get
your 80 worth at the Dakota House.
The Union House is brick structure
with its hotel Office in the bar room.
The proprietor keeps good house, but
like the Dakota it is behind the town in
the one respect of heating stoves being
used for the purpose. The fact IF the
saloon and Office being one also undoubt
eddy retards it's business.
To sum up the whole New Ulm is lust
what time has made it. It has never en-
joyed boom, fictitious or real. 1t has
grown steadily, solidly, surely. Its bu-
slness men have kept pacewith it's growth
IN the erection OF buildings, but never
have gone ahead Of it on that score or
the attempt to get manufacturing or
other institutions there. Itspeople seem
contented, happy, in the enjoyment of
each others society and the business
thrown their way, and evidently care not
for boom to awake them from their
present lethargy of happiness.
We had prepared short article
pointing out the errors in the above and
giving young Schmall little advice.
but the matter has been crowded out by
lack of space. 1t will appear next week
for Schmall's special eiitcation.

the final adjournment made brief speech
which contained more good taste and
sound sense than all the rodomontade his
colleague has emitted from Sandy Hook
to the Rocky Mountains. 81 hope" he
said in conclusion, "that since my arrival
upon your shores l have said nothing
calculated to wound the sensibilities of
the American people; and also hope
that / may not be held responsible for
anything which may have been said out
side of trades unionism." The answer of
the convention and Of the American pub
lie to that hope is not uncertain. They
recognize in Mr.. Holmes man who came
hither on a legitimate and honorable
errand, and who discharged that errsnd
faithfully and we'll; a man of sterling
worth, whom it is pleasure and a profit
to have entertained, and who will go back
to England with the cordial respect of
every right-thinking American.

STORIES were recently put forward in
some public prints to the effect that the
victorious japanese troops at Port Arthur
had relapsed into barbarism, and had
wantonly outraged, tortured and slaugh-
tered the helpless non-combatant inhabi
tants of that town. 1t was said that the
Japanese had fallen to the level Of Chi
nese brutality, that the war seemed to be
degenerating into a struggle between say
ages, and that the foreign correspondents
at Port Arthur, though Injured to all the
ordinary evils of war, had fled in horror
from the awful scene. These stories bore
upon their face the brand of reckless SEN
sationalism, and were, from the first,
largely discredited by men of sober judg-
ment. Lapse of time has brought no con-
firmaIion of them, bu- only cumulative
disprJof, uutil now, in general and iu par
ticular, they are shown to have been so
untrue that to call them wild exuggera.
tions would be gross fattery.

Minister DENLY Has Made No Demand

WAsWNGTON, Dec. 29.-United States
Minister DENLY has made no demand upon
the Chinese gCyafumen5 for satisfaction
for the killing Of the two Japanese student
spies, as reported, nor is this government
IN position to make any such demand
About six weeks ago the minister did ask
the Chinese government to explain how it
came to pass that these students were OK
ecuted before his return to China from the
United States, when the Chinese minister
at Washington had promised that their
case should be kept in abeyance until Mr.
DENLY arrived on the scene. No answer
has yet been received from the Chinese
government, but it is expected that it will
in the end shift the blame upon some
provincial governor. The Japanese GOV
ernment has admitted that the men were
spies, and were properly surrendered to
the Chinese
