New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-12-29

survived many hair breadth escapes in the
political breach. We claim no unusual
power in divination of his motives. But
judging the future by the past, and thor
oughly appreciating as be must the in
dispensable part which his personality
plays in the opposition, it would seem
that his present disinclination to be re-
garded as candidate is bid to the re-
publican state machine to force the nom
inatlon of a bench nan, and then at the
proper time and place add the weight o:
a machine nomination to list of obiec-
tions already burdensome. By mega
tive attitude candidate at heart fire.
quently obtains expressions of sentiment
which would otherwise be denied. There
can be little doubt that Lind would
glaaly accept a nomination if lie were
assured of success. There can he less
doubt that his ultimate aim is seat in
the senate and if he could occupy it
along with hated rival in order that
ne might dull the keen edge of that riv-
al's popularity, he would be still more
gratiied. If he sees the chance before
the next legislature, he will become a
candidate. Should he persist in his dec
lination the most formidable candidate
in the fusion party is Canty. With him,
as much as with Lind, republicans may
rightly doubt the result.
District court will convene next Tues
