New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-04-04
They Tried to Put up a Good Ticket and
were Heartily Endorsed.>

The belief, entertained by many that
the political practices that have been in
vogue here for two years past could not
always be accompanied with success, has
been confirmed. The right has triumphed
at last, as a result of unyielding persis-
tence, and the prospect for return to
the old and peaceable method of COLI
Quoting our municipal and school affairs
seems near at hand. It takes time of
course, but the outcome is inevitable.
reformers have so thoroughly prejudiced
the minds of the people against some of
our best citizens that only constant ex-
PLANTATION of matters about which there
is misunderstanding and repeated cor
rection of manifold falsehoods will clear
up the fog of doubt, hatred and distrust
in whict, SO many are living. It is GER
tain to end in the right, for the reason
that neiyhbors will not always persist
in being enemies for the sake of few
politicians and for the further reason
that the pernicious lying SO cleverly cir
culated among all classes is gradually
entrapping itself and thus correcting its
own evil effects. This is evidenced by
the successive elections. The first was
a thunderbOlt to those who never dreamt
of such str in local politics. In time
they founC out how it had been done.
They talked with their friends.
They cleared up prevailing notions
with positive explanation. 1t took a
long while, but in the end was a case of
the TORTOISE truth catching the rabbit lie
The next election evened matters up con-
siderably. The third opened the eyes of
the leaders who imagined that they had
the thoughts of six hundred voters or
more in their control. A bare majority
of 10 out 1900 in itself refuted MANY
OF the yarns used to capture votes. It
demonstrated conclusively that it wasn't
a fight from Turner's alone; that thev
weren't the only ones interestedin seeing
matters conducted fairly, but were in
fact only handful of those who contend
ed for the right. More time meant more
education on the questions at issue. ALI
sorts Of schcmes were resorted to to up
hold the sinking and senseless cause, but
the more that sprung from the brains of
the excited cheiftans, the greater the
ENHANCEMENT and the greater the diff
Guilty of hoodwinking the public at large
The fourth contest has now been fought,
and the right has triumphed so complete
" that fear haunts the minds of the apos-
ties Of reform by night and by day.
They held non-partisan caucus pre-
vious to the election with ticket pre-
pared beforehand, Their opponents
knew they were not welcome, much as
has been said to the contrary, and had
they Joined in the meeting and succeed
ed in nominating such ticket as they
desired-a ticket of good and able men
1t would not have received the other
factions support. Accordingly they
held caucus of their own and a splen-
did caucus it was, too. They put up an ex-
cellent ticket, not a name appearing
thereon against which anything could be
said. They went before the people. The
committee conducted an admirable cam
paign, and such tactics as were employed
by the opposition were not resorted to
and were strictly forbidden by the active
managers. The people were warned
that trickery would beresorted to BY the
friends ofKoch, but Tuesday proved the
fals1ty of all such claims and the motive
that inspired them. The opposition
would be glad to-day if they could say
as much.
