Democrats Of Brown County Meet
and Nominate Their Candidates.
That fourteen delegates in 3 conven-
tion of tftv three constitute big lever
age, d certain large representation
in the Democratic county convention
last Saturday found out to its dis
comtiture and disgust. The New Ulm
delegates had everything their own way.
They elected G. w. III. Heideman chair
man and A. j. Eckstein secretary and
then allowed the chair to appoint Fred
Pfaender, John Schmelz and f. Hensel
as d committee on credentials. This
committee found all the towns repre-.
sented but Stately. From that place j.
L. Moody appeared and asked that, as
he was the only Democrat left in the
town, he be allowed to represent it in
the convention. This was sanctioned,
and the convention, or rather a portion
proceeded to make up a ticket. For
Representative the names of Christian
Ahlness, Of Lake Hanska, and Chas.
Berg, of Sleepy Eye, were placed in
nomination. This was the occasion for
considerable speech making and James
Adly, the distinguished orator from
Home, took upon himself to give the
convention little advice. He had no
choice, he said, but he wanted the Demo-
Gratis of Brown County to put up
Democrat, and not one who had refused
to recognize member of the great
party which believed in government by
and for the people. Mr.. Gesehwind al
50 talked in similar strain, but, when
tho vote was announced as 20 for Ahl-
ness and 25 for Berg, it was evident that
their warning has been in vain. On the
authorship things went about the same
way. Ray and Bertrand were suggested,
and Ray being the choice of the New
Ulm delegation he was made the nom-
inee by a vote of 27 to 26 for Bertrand.
Here the hopes Of the Sleepy Eye folks
gave out entirely and for long while
they had nothing to say. The other
side nevertheless continued to reap their
harvest, and Louis Schmelz was nomi-
mated for sheriff, Capt. George was
again put up for clerk by acclamation,
us were also Francis Baasen for Judge
of probate, M. G. Robertson, of Spring
field for attorney, and I. j. Humphrey
for coroner. In making the nomination
for Register however the scheme of the
fourteen slipped cog. The had in
tended to give the place to Ole Jorgen-
son, the Republican nominee for audi
tor. but their friends from the country
failed to see the joke of this and desert
ed them in favor of Albert j. Schramm
Of Stark.
For treasurer the name of Richard
Pfefferle was mentioned. This was the
season for another outburst from Addy,
in which he eloquently, though incon-
sistently, advocated that the place be
left blank. He was in favor of giving
Burg another term, but the majority
said no and SO Pfetferle was again
placed on the list. The biggest fig ht of
all perhaps was made for superintend-
ent. John Cutting, of Golden Gate, Jos.
Schmid, of Sleepy Eye, and A. J. Do
meier were the candidates, and it was
necessary to take four ballots before
the matter was finally decided in Do
meier's favor. The only other nomina-
ton made was that OF surveyor. Julius
Berndt received it with SO votes as
against 16 for Current, of Golden Gate.
To conclude, the convention by ballot
selected j. B. Schmid, j. C. Rothen-
berg, A. j. Eckstein, E. G. PAIL, G. w.
n. Heideman, A. A. Bogen and Chas.
Stuebe as delegates to the senatorial
convention and chose the following
county committee for the next two
years; G. w. h. Heidemann, 1st dis
trict; Mic Gulden, End district; p.
Merz, 4th district; and j. G. Rothenberg
5th district. The second district also
| nominated Clement Halvorson for COM
missioner, the fourth nominated James
Addy and the convention adjourned.
Senator Davis will take the stump in
behalf of Gov. Merriam and the balance
of the state ticket. This explodes the
report set in circulation that Gov Mer-
riam is a candidate for Davis seat in
| the senate.
