Mr.. WADE SPEAKS.

named DR.. j. III. Murphy for mayor.
Some slight applause followed this ex-
plosion.
: Capt. Joseph Burger seconded DR..
IMurphy'S nomination, saying: Il have
known Col. Kiefer for many years. He
is a warm personal friend of mine, who
I has fought and bled with me on many
battlefields, and Col. Kiefer told me
only this morning that he could not
run.o
Henry Johns moved for recess until
2 80 p. M, but being ruled out of order,
Col. Kerr got up and asked what was
the use Of any committee being ap-
pointed which was to be instructed to
Anominate one particular man, and all it
had to do was to nominate that particu-
lar man and report to the convention ac-
cordingly. a
III. B. Willis didn't understand Mr..
Holcombe's motion. He explained that
he was working for Republican success.
He thought whenever the nomination
of any party was followed by letter of
declination it only weakened the party.
| am inclined to Think" he asserted,
s'that we
CAN GET MORE OFFICES
if we do not make any nomination for
mayor. | am not working for Bob
Smith or any other man, as have been
accused, but think we will do better
for Republican success by not nominal
ing anybody for mayor"
Walter Holcombe again talked on his
his motion for committee. When he
got through both Sam Nichols and III.
B. Willis got the floor simultaneously,
but to get out of the dilemma the chair
recognized Gen. MaeCarthy, who had
also jumped up. Gen. MacCarthy de-
clared positively that DR.. Murphy
would run if he was nominated. Willis
and Nichols again jumped up together,

COL. KIEFER DECLINES.
The Ex-Clerk of Court Was Not
Anxious to Run for Mayor This

The Ex-Clerk of Court Was Not
Anxious to Run for Mayor This
Year.
The submission of these names OF
workingmen's candidates had been an
ticipated, but the chairman read some
thing which had not been anticipated
by good deal. That was letter of
declination written by Col. A. r.
Kiefer.
1t cast shade of gloom over the con-
ventiOn. The delegates for few min
utes seemed thunderstruck, especially
Frank HoSkins. His eyeballS rolled and
the blood rushed to his active tongue as
the name of Col. Kiefer was uttered by
Chairman Mcdonald.
THE GREAT BATTLE
of the day then commenced, and it was
for blood. Col. Kerr moved that the
question of the selection of candidate
for mayor be left with the new city COM
mittee.
...This," he said. 81 do partly from
policy and partly from principle. don't
believe that the foreign considerations
of party affiliations should have any
thing to do with municipal politics. l
believe that the nominee of the Demo
cratic party is an uneXceptionable one;
that he would be elected under any
circumstances. and that the nomination
of anybody against him would only
crystalline the Democratic party and
prevent us from breaking into their
ticket elsewhere"
The time for wind had begun, so
Frank HoSkinS started in on his first
effort by saying, in tremulous tones,
that he wanted to say7a word for the
workingmen; that 1900 workingmen
have been endeavoring to get work
from the city government; that 500
wOrkingmen had a meeting the other
day, and got out their naturalization
papers, and that, therefore, the
city had been furnishing en-
ployment to aliens instead of cit
izens of the great United States.
He asked with a soul-stirring screeeh:
Are the Republicans afraid to put a
ticket in the field? Is the Republican
party coward?" When he told the
convention how the labor agitatOrS had
run Dubuque and Milwaukee, and sub
sequently how both Democrats and Re-
publicans fused in the latter city knocked
the lOafers into the silent, clammy
cold of defeat, the delegates, the specta-
tors and the gallery gods INDUCED in
fearful yOlleys of cat-callS and an awful
babel of shrieks and yells, amid which
the fiery Hoskins sat down, but he soon
got up again to get in a little fine work
by nominating Col. G. d. Kerr for mayor.
MIR. KERR POSITIVELY DECLINED.
He said he had made his motion con-
scientiously. believing he was acting in
the best interests of the Republican
party. Walter HOlcombe tried to work
in an amendment to Col. Kerr's motion,
to the effect that Col. A. r. Kiefer be
the nominee for mayor, and the matter
referred to a special committee, which
Frank Hoskins suggested be commit
tee of five.
Gen. MacCarthy waxed fiery. he was
down on appointing any committee
which was to be hampered with the
name of any candidate. He had nothing
personal against Bob Smith, and then

HE DIDN'T SAY ACCEPT.
The Doctor Wants to Have Some
Time to Consider the Matter.

As soon as DR.. Murphy showed him,
self he was cheered. The welcome tent
dered him was noisy, howling, scream'
ing one. but it was of a very forced
kind, for the effort to put on bold face
over the days work was too plainly ap,
parent in the few delegates which
then sat in the hall. He came up to the
platform led by Aid. L. Il. Bryant, tho
late Democrat. When he neared tho
stage Capt. Burger seized him with a
guSh of forced enthusiasm and took him
up on the platform. There were moro
cheers. DR.. Murphy said:
''ThiS is something surprising to me.
l am not and have not been a politician
for good while, but L certainly
take it as great compliment to ma
that l have been nominated by
reclamation. 1t is quite q compliment
for any man to be nominated by ac-
clamation. This thing has been sprung
upon me and L am a Republican. You
have done me great pleasure in nomi-
mating John Roche. 1t is more import
ant that he should be elected than |, for
he has been known as the watchdog of
this town for good many years. AS
far as l am concerned this thing was
sprung upon me, and l didn't
expect it any more than l expected
would be here, and | do not feel at
liberty to say that Will not accept, but L
do think, in Justice to you and to myself,
that had better take it under advise
ment, as L never do anything rashly,
and | will notify you in due time"
The applause which followed this inn
promptu effort was much weaker than
the applause which met him when he
began to speak. The convention adj
journed there, as if there wasn't any
more heart left for fighting. 1t was
about $50 D. m.

and Kissed by others. Proxy Frank
Hoskins asked that before the executive
session proposition was acted upon,
the committee from the wOrkingmen'S
convention be heard. Mr.. Williams
seconded this motion, and it carried.
Oil INSPECTOR Willis then jumped up and
moved that the resolution for an eXecu-
tive session be laid upon the table. Il
don't think it's just right hh said,
sf0r a Republican convention to have

that the motion for division should

SURPRISE, NO SURPRISE.

1t Is Hard Work to Mean Noth-

Time.
The sporting editor of the Pioneer
Press wrote little story about the Cons
ley-Clow fight for his paper yesterday.
and then began shying rocks at the
sporting editor of the GLOBE, after
which he wrote another story about tho
affair at Ashland. The stories of the
mill were printed in different columns
of the same issue and are reproduced
below. Nothing surprises like surprise,
but it is surprising how little surprise
there is about surprise which does not
surprise. Predictions which do not pre-

ing wrong. If you pat man on the
back with one hand and hit him a blow
between the eyes with the other, you

ALDERMANlC CANDIDATES.
A Sharp Decisive Conflict Among
the Sixth Ward Delegates.

the sixth w ara Delegates.
1t was p. m. before the convention
got together again. Meanwhile, Con-
tractor Charles f. Hudner attempted to
make several speeches from the stage
to the humorously noisy delegates, and
wanted to photograph the crowd for
500. Ten minutes after 3 the long
spring overcOat of Chairman Nc Donald
showed up on the stage. To give
the committee on aldermanIc candidates
at large more time to fix up the slate,
the convention proceeded to ratify the
ward candidates, each delegation pre-
senting the name of the candidate in its
particular ward except the Sixth ward,
as follows: First ward, John BlOm;
Second, Matthias Leithauser; Third,
Charles G. johnson: Fourth, Karl Sim
mons Fifth, Walter Book; Seventh. w.
ii. Sanborn; Eighth, Henry Weber;
Ninth, John Nelson; Tenth, r. V. Pratt;
Eleventh, ID. M. Sullivan.
For the Fourth ward Karl Simmons,
the candidate, came forward and in
formed the convention that owing to his
business requirements he couldn't ac
cept the nomination. Charles Chapel
then nominated Adam Decker, who was
accepted.
and it had to be brought into the con-
vention right here on this very queS-
ton. A. G. Wedge commenced the
fight by asking that the matter of Sc
lecting candidate be left to the Sixth
ward delegation, to be decided upon in
one week. He referred to the Sixth
ward meeting of Saturday night, and
''wOuld state emphatically that any
action which the convention might take
to-day in nominating candidate would
surely divide the Republican party"
Again it leaked out that the Republi-
cans were averse to making nominal
tons unless they

presented the name of Aid. E. Il. Bry-
ant, which Editor BOle seconded. He
said:
'You know the Republicans in the
Sixth ward have never had any show.
It's Democratic ward. Several Re-
publicanS have been around, among
them Mr.. Wedge, to get Republican,
but couldn't get any one to run. We
know Mr.. Bryant has always been
Republican until he fell in with a bad
crowd and got into the city council. On
the only party measure that ever came
up then he voted with us. Now

Democrats, but in Mr.. Bryant's case /

each eying the other furiously. Frank
Hopkins arose to point of order. He
explained that the reason he wanted the
committee appointed was so that during
the noon hour it could have an OppOr-
tunity to ascertain if the nominee would
accept. This wasn't any point Of order,
but he got chance to make a speech
all the same. Mr.. Willis ''didn't want
to be misunderstood, and his language
misconstrued." He was in favor of
nominating only man who would ac-
cept, and no other. That was his posi-
ton. He asked Gen. MacCarthy if he
was sure DR.. Murphy would run if
nominated. Gen. MacCarthy re-
piled: Il have given you my
word and l don't have

mittee. OF course the committee had
disagreed, but then it had made a call
for full ticket.
This furnished the secretary, Mr..
Reese, an excellent cue for a ringing APP
peal from the stage. He attacked
Democracy and everything that was
not Republicanism. With dramatic
effect, platform posture and tenor
tones he asked in the key
of the highest G in the
pitch of human voice, HAS the time
come when the Republican party is
afraid to make nomination and an
honest manly fight? Must Republicans
come into this convention

The committee business was settled
by motion of Mr.. Holcomb tabling it.
A motion to adjourn sine die was here
voted down, and Mr.. Lowenstein fixed
the committee proposition forever and
aye by motion that the convention
proceed to nomination for mayor. al
though he did not really know that that
was the effect of his motion.
