New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-11-03

Wade Hampton, retired.
st. Paul cannot rule the Republican
party forever.--Anoka Union.
OF course she can't. Not while Anoka
is on the map. ~. III
Millionaire Pullman's body is to be
preserved, mummy-fashion, in an air
tight case of cement. Somehow it strikes
us that this is an unnecessary waste of
cement. ~E ~s"
Tom Plat, IN all probability, doesn't
care a fig whether Tracy is elected or
not. The election of Low would disap-
point the spoilsmen and only serve to
bind them still closer to Platt. -
Gan honest man is dead" This tri-
butte, coming from the lips of all, friends
and foes alike, is the greatest encor aim
that could have been passed upon the ca
reer of any man. 1t was said of>Henry
George.
When Gen. Sickles said that Tracy
was the only candidate IN Greater New
York who stood for good governments,
he gave evidence OF a weakening or
clogging in some part of his mental ma
chinery.
Senator Thurston has said that if Ira
cy were not elected mayor of Greater
New York, there would be no more Re-
publican. presidents. As Tracy has
failed of election, we wonder if the bril-
liant Nebraskan will takegthe trouble In
the future to waste his eloquence in be-
half Of what he himself bespeaks hope
less cause.
The Republicans cannot afford to
nominate any man for governor whose
private or public record is not above
criticism.-Anoka Herald.
OF course they cannot, but they will
do it just the same. The Republicans,
who feel as the editor of the Herald
does, don't happen to be running the
party.
Gen. Sickles made laughable mis-
take last year when he thought that
trotting around the country with few
other soldiers in behalf of the cid
standard was doing as =
tional honor as when ne hea.. Is
and armies upon the battlefelds Of the
south. He made another mistake last
>week-that of forsaking men like Seth
Low and Henry George for plant tool
of bossism like Tracy. We don't need
any more Sickles'.
A district judge, in deciding that the
Anderson tax law is constitutional, holds
mat Frank Day was in fact a senator at
the time that he cast his vote therefor,
Notwithstanding that he also held, by
the vote of the senate of which he was
member, the Office of lieutenant governor.
1t can hardly be said, therefore, that le-
gal wisdom was an attribute of the last
Republican senate-a senate that voted
to unseat Mr.. Day. Politics must have
had more to do with it than the men,
be1s were willing to admit at the time.
The entire civilized orld was start
led on Friday by the sudden death of
Henry George, philosopher, philantrop-
ist, reformer and plumed knight of the
Greater New York campaign. George
Was man whose theories many refused
to accept, whose honesty no one ques-
toned. To the cause of humanity he
devoted wealth of genius, and for the
cause of purity in politics he offered up
his life. Now that he is dead, ridicule
and criticism are silenced and the world
hastens to sound his praises and attest to
his sincerity of purpose. Alive, he was
feared removed fro n the field of activity,
his power lessened by the absence of his.
striking and magnetic personality, there
IS nothing to withhold an honest estimate
of his value to mankind. His was true
greatness. ~,... +
There are very few men in the state
who could fill the political shoes of
Senator G. K, Davis.-Lamberton Star.
Is that so? From reading lot of
toadying country newspapers one would
think the woods was full of 'em. There's
that "master of finance" and ascholarly
statesman" cCleary, for instance. Then
what's the matter with the, princely Mes
tor of Mortified, man who has gained
reputation throughout the length and
breadth of the land for personal gifts,
alike unequalled among the members Of
the house or senate2 Or why ignore the
little giant from Winona, or the thought
