svery section he was hailed as next mayor
Of Minneapolis. There was no express
sion of sentiment in regard to
comptroller, but Capt. P. II. Swenson will
undoubtedly be chosen. The Democracy
has nothing to regret in the pronounced eX-
preston it has made. 1t has in every case
named winners, as the people will verify at
the polls.
THE FIRST WARD
Democrats turned out en- maSse last evening
and had very lively time. Tobin's rink,
the largest assembly room in the ward, WAS
crowded at an early hour, and still they came.
Every nook and corner was more than filled
and when the room could contain no
more several hundred were accommo-
dated on the outside. The crowd was
variously estimated from 1920 to l,5OO. The
candidates were numerous and busy. About
s o'clock Chairman Hoy called the NICE ing
TO order, read tbs call and announced the
choice of a chairman in order. The crowd
responded with a score Of names, among
which that of Michael Hoy was promi-
nent. A. J. Dolan mounted the
platform and put the motion
making HOY chairman. There was a storm
of Ayes" followed by similar one of
Noes" Mr.. Dolan declared the motion car
ried. There was considerable kicking over
this ruling, but Mr.. Hoy assumed the chair
and called for order and secretary. There
was another volley of nominations for
office and the excitement ran high.
Mr.. LHerault was declared elected on a vote
similar to the Dolan-Hoy vote but he declined
to serve not fancying the method of proceed
ure. After considerable more skirmishing
Ambrose Lennen was made secretary. The
choice of tellers caused good deal
of commotion and resulted in the
naming of one by each candidate
In the field as follows: Ed McNulty, George
Smith, NJ. Tobin, Patrick Boland, Frank
Anger and p. J. Ryan. 1t was arranged that
the crowd pass out and deposit their ballots
en- route. One of the gentlemen protested
that there were many outsiders in
the room who should not be allowed to vote.
1t was voted that committee of one
from each pre- cinct Q appointed to super
wise the bail II. These motions were carried
through by main force, the crowd maintain
ing a deafenIng roar which the chairman
made a desperate but only partially success
full effort to subdue. Next came the
nomination of aldermanic candidates.
The tumult increased at this juncture to
mammoth proportions. Every lady was good
natured, but the friends Of each candidate
were bound to make the most noise and they
all succeeded. The secretary mama Ell to
make out the following list Of 10 nnees:
Con Loenehan, Michael Lyons, E. j. L'Her-
ault, John Oleson, John Norton, c. w.
Brown, Hugh Butler. While the tel 3rs
were preparing for business the crowd called
for speeches. W. H. Donaghue made a con-
ciliatory and conservative speech and was
followed by several of the nominees; Hugh
Butler, Z. J. L'Herault, c. Loenehan, John
Norton, NJ. Lyons and G. w. Brown.
The candidates all expressed a desire
that their friends maintain quiet and
pursue peaceable and honest methods in the
contest. Fair play was the burden of all
their songs, and they were respectfully lis
tened to and loudly applauded. AT the con-
clusion of the speeches balloting was begun.
1t was made formal ballot, and in quiet,
orderly way the crowd filed out into the
storm-tossed street. 1t took about an
hour to clear the room and another hour to
count the ballots. The result was announced
as follows: j. l.. Herault, 30S; Hugh Butler,
100; NJ. Lyons, l62; John Norton, 90; c. w.
Brown, 81; NJ. c. Lenehan, 80: total 1874.
None of the candidates having received a
majority, a second ballot was necessary. 1t
was nearly midnight and the crowd had con-
siderably diminished. Messrs. Lenehan and
Brown withdrew without instructing their
friends. Mr.. Norton withdrew in favor of
Mr.. L. Herault amid a storm OF applause.
Baloting was then resumed.
