the caucus. after which the following
five delegates were tremendously
elected: Pete Martin. Matt MASSEY,
George Siebel, NJ. Balk and Glen Neu-
man. No Instructions were issued, but
the delegates are all favorable to the
choice made by the Thirteenth precinct.
In the Seventh precinct Rudolph
Naaer. Bernard thompson, Jacob
Lahla and A. L. Lenhart
were elected, and the delegation is
solid for Swenson for sheriff. In the
Fifth G. P. Berry, Matt Gross and John
Altsladt were chosen. The Fourteenth
precinct delegation, consisting OF
Charles Karnofsky, j. Shields, Mic
Becker and j. Horrigan, are solid for
Ames for the state convention, and for
Gallagher. Swenson and Corrigan in
the county convention. In the Fifteenth
j. M. CorcOran and j. j. Holzshuh were
elected, without instructions.
Fourth Ward.
The primaries of the Fourth ward
passed off without special event. AS a
rule the delegates will go to the con-
vention uninstrncted. There is no
question, however, about the preference
for l.. r. THAI for county attorney. T.
P. Swenson has the majority for sheriff,
and for auditor the delegation will be
divided between r. S. n. SaitZ. who
ran for the same position two years ago,
and r. G. Holbrook, the ex-city con-
Holler. J. r. Carrigan will get a ma
jority of the votes for judge of probate,
and FL. o. Peterson for county treasur-
er. DR.. w. o. Stephens, DIR. S. Fried
lander and Dr.. Byrnes will each re-
ceive support for coroner, and the re-
suit is in doubt.
Fifth Ward.
Harmony in large letters was written
all over the Fifth ward wherever eau
cuses were held. In one OF two pre-
cincts no caucuses were held, while IN
others the chairmen were Wofnlly ignOr-
ant of the provisions of the Australian
law governing the holding of caucuSes.
One chairman did not know the pre-
cinct or ward that he lived in and had to
ask bystander for information when
filling up the returns. In all the pre-
cincts there appeared to be no contests
and the states went through without any
trouble. There was but little expression
of opinion as to the choice of candidates,
but the sentiment appeared to be about
as follows: For sheriff, p. P. Swenson:
register, Jacob Stoft; auditor, K. s. N.
SartZ; treasurer, III. D. Peterson; county
attorney, L. R. Than; judge of probate,
j. Il. CDrrlgan.
Sixth Ward.
There was no contest in the Sixth
ward. The states had all been prepared
beforehand, and they went through in
short order. Even in the Second pre-
einct, where there was such a lively
oil
smoothly, Smith having compromised,
and the Rand men Endorsed him for the
legislature. The delegations in many
cases were uninstructed. The following
is the result of the caucus in total:
First, uninStructed: Second, P. p.
SwenSon for sheriff, James Smith for
representative; Third. uninstructed;
Fourth, no return: Fifth, same: Sixth,
uninStructed; Seventh. SWensOn for
sheriff: Eighth, no return; Ninth, no
return; Tenth, no return; Eleventh,
Swenson for sheriff; Twelfth, Swenson
for sheriff.
Seventh Ward.
In the Seventh ward the primaries
were sparsely attended, and in most of
the precincts there was no opposition to
the delegates who were elected. DR..
son for sheriff, and Dwyer for county
commissioner The Third precinct del
egation was without instructions of any
sort; the Fifth precinct delegates were
instructed only for Swenson for sheriff,
and the Sixth and Seventh were solid
for both SwenSon and Dwyer. TIE
First. Second and Fourth precincts are
for Bell, and the others will probably
follow.
Eighth Ward.
In the Eighth ward several precincts
will be without representation in the
convention, none of the faithful having
gathered last night. In the Third pre-
cinct r. l.. Cox met and elected himself
delegate. He is strongly in favor of
r. l.. Cox for register of deeds, and r.
L. Penney Per E,tt, for r county attorney.
and the two other gentlemen
who were present designated them
selves as uninstructed delegates, and
in the other precincts where caucuseS
were held there were. so far as could be
learned, no instructions given.
The Sixth precinct elected A. B.
Sayer and John Sandberg, and in
structed them for p. p. Swenson for
sheriff and l.. r. Than for county at
torney.
Ninth Ward.
There was but little excitement in
the Ninth ward. The only precincts
where there was any fight over dele
gates were the Fourth. Sixth and
Seventh. The delegations elected are
strongly in favor of o. G. Merrinan for
candidate Oh the legislative ticket,
while there seems to be but little choice
between r. L. Penney and Mr.. Nc
MILAN for another representative on
the same ticket. The delegates seem
to realize that but one man from the
Ninth ward can get on the legislative
ticket. and as there are three strong
gentlemen from the Second ward
in the field. they propose to look
around and secure some strong candi-
date to represent the ward. n. B. Mel
son, popular Scandinavian and we'll
known advocate on LABOR topics. was
favorably mentioned at several of the
precincts, and it is quite likely that he
will pop in the convention caucus to-
day with considerable strength. There
were several other gentlemen men,
toned. but, as near as could be learned,
Mr. Nelson was the choice OF his ma
tionality. and may be the choice of the
delegates.
Eleventh Ward.
Little interest was shown In the
Eleventh ward caucuses, and small at
tendance was the rule. Considerable
sentiment was developed in favor OF
