New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1889-11-27

Pierce was sent for and upon
his appearance there was fine tribute to
his popularity. In a very few words he
htly acknowledged the high honor and
withdrew. The easy nomination of Pierce
was foregone conclusion, but the sec
ond man was, and is still, I'M
known. Two ballots were taken and
then the caucus adjourned. There
were eight nominations. Winship and
Walsh of Grand Forks, Johnson of Lakota,
McCumber of Wahpeton, Spencer and Ord
way of Walsh county, Walter Muir and
Col. Plummer of Cass county. Senator

way. The nomination was not seconded.
Johnson on the first ballot received 81 votes
and n on the second. McCum-
Der received IA and IL on the
two ballots. On the first ballot Ordway re-
ceived nine votes and ten on the second.
-Four Cass county members voted for him,
and also Little of Burleigh, Worst of EN-
mons, Lilly of Mcintosh, Reed of Towner

delegation-Walshc ounty-voted for him.
Winship received three on the first and five
on the second ballot Muir II and 8, Spencer
5 and l, Walsh and 10 and Plummer 9.
Johnson's strength scared the field, and, by
uniting, it effected an adjournment before
taking third ballot. Johnson's probable
strength, "a votes, voted against adjourn
ment; for adjournment, 46. johnson is a
strong candidate. Winship went to him on
the second ballot. It is hard to guess whom
the field will concentrate upon. Rumors
OF combinations are thick, but none are
worth repeating. Pierce will be elected to-
morrow. The caucus so decided
In the Democratic caucus of thirteen
members ex-Secretary Mccormack was
complimented with the nomination for the
United States senate
At midnight the caucassing indicates that
Johnson's nomination is very probable.
Walter Muir has withdrawn, and he favors
the election of Johnson. Hankinson saws
the bulk of McCumber's strength will go to
Johnson when McCumber withdraws. The
field is hunting hard for candidate, but in
vain at this hour.
The governors message will show that
there will be probable deficiency the first
year of $155,870. Bonded Indebtedness is

Australian system of voting, discusses the
