ed tsllers by the chair.
G. NJ Foote nominated G. B. Cooley.
stating that he took that action thinking
it was in the interest of the city. He be-
lieved Grove B. Cooley was the choice of
the people. He did not believe there was
a man in the hall who could conscienti-
ously raise voice against his qualifca-
tions nor his official record during the
three terms which he has occupied the re-
sponsible Office.
Fl. E. Day rose and presented A. T. An

keny as a thorough Democrat. He disap
proved of putting Republicans on DEM

a man who will make an honest, capable
and upright Judge to the entire satisfac-
ton of the bar of Hennepin county.
r. p. Huntington took pleasure in SOC
onding the nomination of Mr.. Ankeny.
Col Glenn followed in brief speech.

An informal ballot was taken with the
following results, G. B. Cooley, SO; A. T.
Ankeny, 60; whole number, SO.
D. L. johnson moved that Mr.. Ankeny be
declared by acciamation the nominee of

so as to proceed TO take formal ballot.
After a warm discussion vote was taken
upon the amendment, and it resulting in

but Mr.. johnson, Scion Armstrong and
others insisted upon taking formal bal
lot and carried the question, resulting as
follows: A. T. Ankeny, 60; G.. B. Cooley, 33;
whole number, SO.
Mr.. Callahan moved that the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Ankeny be made unanimous.
Mr. Foote, as the man who
nominated Judge Cooley, seconded the
motion in an appropriate speech. Al
though Judge Cooley was his first choice
ke should be pleased to labor for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Ankeny.
Mr.. Ankeny being called to the platform
was introduced by Mayor Ames and wal
received with applause. He stated that h
accepted the position on the Democratic
ticket with more than ordinary pride. H
spoke of the responsibilities of the posi-
ton, and promised that he should dis
charge the duties of the Office, if elected, t
the best of his ability. Hoping his friend
would never have occasion to regret tn
move made, he closed his address.
Ed A. Stevens nominated II. E. Day fol
special Judge, as young man of larg
experience,as a justice in the town OF Min
neapolis, and q young man of ability,
