were also very noisy in the third pre-
cinct of the second ward, so boisterous
in fact that the floor gave way, and
dropped them into the basement. Had
it not been for this accident, they prob
ably would not have got through III
time for the convention. A change OF
front was experienced in the demo
cratic results, number of the old
timers being left at home, and new
unrestricted in their places. The first
ward which is always true to the cause
Of Democracy elected twenty delegates
who are virtually pledged to John Nc
Gowan and Fred Brueshaber: two pre-
cincts favor Aid l. 'Heraults return to
the council, and Joseph Ingenhutt a
new man, but a large property owner
in the ward, and a member Of the park
commission. The six delegates from
the sixth precinct are non-c"mmittal.
Aid. Hanscom's friends claim they will
support him, though Ingenhutt thinks
ne will get some of them. 1t looks as
it the next alderman from the First
ward would be John MCGOWAN, Fred
Brueshaber and Joseph Ingeuhntt, a
nomination being equivalent to an cleo.

ward forgot Aid. Mills and when the

Aldermen McArdle and Gilman got IS
delegates which leaves them up high

not sure how he stands, and in the
event Of his withdrawal, b. A. Bennett
a locomotive engineer On the St. Louis
road, aud William Baird will be the
men for the other TWO places. The
Fifth ward paid handsome compli-
ment to Aid. A. Phillips by endorsing
him unanimously. T. Carroll and T..
j. E. Clemeutsun seem to have dele
gates enough on their side to nominate
them. In the Sixth ward the nation
alitY issue came up and when the
Swedes had got this issue fairly before
the voters, they ran things to suit
themselves. They named delegates who
will support j Smith, N. @. Standby
and Claus johnson; Aid. Gleason's
friends will send contesting delegations
to the convention Notwithstanding
AID. Dwyer carried himself through
the Seventh ward battle With flying
c0lors. He carried his own precinct
over aid. Gibson who threatens to con.

imported. Aid Noerenberg was beaten
by f. A. Smith. 1t looks as if the
Seventh would be represented in the
new council by Dryer, Mccall and
Smith. E. l.. Cox carried the Eighth
ward without an effort with DR.. Avery
and J. A.. Woodford following closely
after him. Ed. A. Stevens wanted the
