New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-10-05

i
] The Owatonna Journal and St. Peter
Tribune, in order to create q feeling
against Quartermaster. Lind, hint that he
was to blame for the fact that when the
regiment arrived at New Ulm the tents
were down in Iowa and ssthe boys had
to sleep on the open ground and huddle
around camp fire to keep warm =
Purer rot and falsehood never found
its way into print.
That the tents and camp equipage
were somewhat late in reaching here is
true, but 1t was through no fault of Mr..
Lind's. The cars were all loaded at Lex
lngton and sent on their way to New
Ulm, under competent officers, hours be-,
fore the::regiment got away. That they
reached New Ulm few hours later was
to be expected, considering the way in
which railroads handle freight.
But even then, the train was here and
unloaded at eight o'clock, and if the
boys didn't sleep under canvas at night
it was their own fault. .<. H.: +
They were all down town having a
good time, until late in the night, and
the writer knows from personal obser-
walton that the captains had great dill
Guilty in getting their men to take care
of the company property after it once
| reached here.
The regiment had scattered to all
parts of the city. It was the first night
of freedom they had had in months and
little did they care whether they saw a
bed that night or not.
Those who could tear themselves away
from the pleasures of town long enough
to put up their tents will testify wiling
ly that no inconvenience was experienced,
and, as for the others, they would never
think of blaming anyone but themselves.
There were no camp-fires that night
and there wasn't any need for them. The
boys all know it.
They would laugh heartily were they
to read such trash as the Journal and
Tribune published, and when they get
home they will give the lie to all such
nonsense.
Next time, brother editors, post your
selves as to the facts.
The Chicago Chronical says: "As we
intimated few days ago, the only way
in which William ]. Bryan can satisfy
the Republican editors and politicians is
to commit suicide or betake himself to
the Klondike, the North Pole or equator
ial Africa. So long as he remains in
this country he will be responsible for
an epidemic of hysteria and insomnia in
the party of moral ideas. Not only can
he do nothing himself that will suit the
administration organs, but anyone who
treats him with ordinary clvil1ty shares
in the condemnation that is being fired
at him. Gen. Miles, for example, is get
ting it hot and heavy because he returned
Col. Bryan's call in Washington, the i'm
plication being that anyone who holds
communication with Bryan is necessarily
a william and traitor to the state. Miles,
of course, is already anathema MARIANA
tina because he has blasphemed st. AL
ger, but he might have redeemed himself
had he acted, like bcor toward Mr..
Bryan. The latter gentleman will there
fore see that by persisting In living he is
not only disturbing the Republican or
| gan grinders, but getting innocent peo-
Iple into trouble besides. Won't he favor
the truly good by effacing himself alto
gether as speedily and quietly as posi-
ble2'' ~. {:
A prominent commercial traveller, who
| is just back from a trip up the st. Paul
& Duluth, declares that Lind and Towne
will run much stronger in that district
than they did two years ago. Mr.. Lind
is being eagerly urged to make addresses
at various parts of this district, and it is
probable that he will, before he returns
to his military duties this month, deliv-
Ter three or more speeches in that con.
gressional district. .
It must be high opinion that Estes
Of the Madelia Messenger has Of Tie sol
der boys Of the Twelfth j. he thinks
they would be guilty Of wearing Lind
buttons while in New Ulm merely fol
the sake Of deceiying Mr.. Lind and bis
New Ulm trends. No, no, Mr.. Estes
the boys in the Twelfth are made Of
sterner stuff.
