i
day Night Frost.
The Review has no desire to belittle
the iabcrs of the republican party Of
Brown county, but it does seem that ex-
curs,ons from at least two points and an
orator of the prominence of Bob Evans
grand torch-light procession with more
than 175 people in line should have been
had. Brown county republicans may
be enthusiastic but, Judging from Mon
day nights affair, their enthusiasm does
not go to the extent of carrying torch
or marching in procession. There were,
ny actual count, verified by several diff
ferent parties, not to exceed IT'S people
in the parade and of these AZ were boys
hanging from 10 to Is years Of age, the
New Ulm representation being exactly
20 grown men including Col. Bobleter,
Philipp Liesch and Landlord Smith who
headed the procession. So far as any en-.
thuslasm on the part of the spectators
was concerned the parade might as we'll
have been a funeral march, the crowd
which lined the streets maintaining all
along the line most expressive silence.
At the opera house it was certainly
magnificent gathering of ladies and gen.
tlemen that assembled to listen to a pre-
sentation of republican principles by
Hon. Robert G. Evans of Minneapolis
the hall being we'll filled. MIR. Evans
fully sustained his reputation as "hot
air merchant" but failed to advance any
thing new IN the way of argument, rely
ing mainly upon his ability as story
teller TO maintain his hold upon his
audience. At the outset he started of
with the statement that he believed in
the universal patriotism of the people
of the country regardless of party but
wound up by saying that he could see
no reason under Heaven why there
should be any other party than the re-
publican. He had the greatest respect
for the man who changed his party con-
sclent'ously and honestly, provided, Of
course, that the change brought him in
to the republican ranks. Touching up
on the Philippines he threshed over the
same old straw. Divine Providence had
given US the islands and We couldn't let
60 if we wanted to; and we don't want
to anyway, because there will be money
in holding them; we don't want and
don't intend tc keep the Fillpinos, but
he failed to say what would be done
with them when we have "benevolently
assimilated" their lands and possessions.
The meeting was enlivened by the
Rough Rider Glee Club of st. Peter and
the Concordia band of this city. The
attendance was probably five to six
hundred.
Another Of those social gatherings
| which serve to break down the preiu-
dices which may unconscious]y arise be-
tween neighboring communities and
bring pleasure and profit to the fortu-
nate participants was the visit of the
Woman's Literary Club of this city to
Sleepy Ely" on Wednesday afternoon of
last week. The entire membership of
! the New Ulm club, with perhaps two or
three exceptions, made up the party
which accepted the invitation of the
Woman's Literary Club of Sleepy Eye
practically took possession of the North
western train leaving here at 2:17 in the
afternoon bound for the west. Arriving
at Sleepy Eye the party was met at the
station. with carriages and driven to
Sleepy Eye Lake and other points of in
terest after whicn they were given
sumptuos banquet at the home of w. G.
Smith, returning home by the 40 train,
all uniting in the expression that they
had most thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The New Ulm party was accompanied
by two guests, Mrs. c. H. Ross of Min
neapolis and Mrs. F. Dittus, sister of
Mrs, w. A. Hubbard. The menu card
provided by the Sleepy Eye ladies was
tasty affair decorated in the upper left
hand corner with small photograph Of
Sleepy Eye lake and two stems of natur-
al clover.
