New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-10-18

And the crowd might well cape and
stare at the spectacle Of the President
land his Cabinet making grotesque and
frantic efforts to catch votes.
The weary Thirteenth Minnesota vol
unteers failed to even look happy, still
/ less to applaud enthusiastically when
| the president told them how he had
come all the way from Washington to
greet them and tell them what brave
good boys they were. They tried to list
| en- politely but men filled with malaria
and burning with a,sense of resentment
could not be expected to be very joyous
lover the greeting of the Administration
which had kept them in the Philip pines
months after they were entitled to their
discharge and in kind of warfare for
which they never enlisted In Minnesota
as at Chicago, it wss distinctly noticea-
BILE that the president appeared to find a
more congenial atmosphere at the ex-
pensive and select banquets than when
addressing the ordinary mob of criti-
cisms and taxpayers. But the Admin.
stration which is the creature of trusts
aud corporations could hardly be ex-
pected to be at ease with the victims of
those forces.
! Then, too, the satellites of the Ad-
ministration made speeches and these
speeches often failed to dovetall with
McKinley's platitudes. He at least
could not be accused of saying any
thing, he carefully avoided the many
things in his administration which badly
need explaining. Some of his official
small boys evidently forgot their cues
| and fell into the error of telling how
Aguinaldo had been offered commission
as General in our army and somebody
else rose to explain jus: what we bought
in the Philippines and how we came to
pay that $2O,OOO,o0O. 1t would be inter
esting to know just when and where and
how Aguinaldo was offered that COM
mission for instance. Statements of that
sort tend to raise suspicion that good
| many things have been censored which
| would interest the voters of this country.
McKinley really ought to have had his
official family better drilled. Both he
and they made spectacles of themselves
and increased the chances of Democratic
! victory in every state where they spoke
