self up higher and higher and swung his
arms more and more vehemently, until he
reached the climax of a nomination. and Gull
minated with the prediction that Kiefer
would have 5000 majority Laughter,
cheers and jeers were commingled as he re-
sumed his seat.
There being no other nominations,
Henry Johns moved that Col. Kiefer be
nominated by reclamation, and nearly
all the delegates stood up. There were
bowls for Col. Kiefer, in the midst OF
which the irrepressible Capt. Burger
was recognized and moved that COM
mittee of three be appointed to wait
upon Col. Kiefer and bring him before
the convention. The chair appointed
Capt. Burger, D. f. Reese and John
Harris. Capt. Burgers mOdesty for
babe his accepting so distinguished an

among the younger element OF the
party, declined the nomination: Mr.:
Bronson, of the First ward, nominated
Col. C. S. Bunker, and 5. LoWensteln
named William P. Jewett. Henry
Johns, in a short speech, seconded the
nomination OF Mr.. JeWett and suggested
that the vote be taken by calling on the
chairman of each delegation. Delegate

call of the wards was proceeded with.

next mayor of st. Paul. Shedding his
coat, Col. Kiefer spoke as follows:

cashier of the Scandinavian bank. MI.
Lowenstein said Mr.. Swenson would
not accept. d. F. Reese bObbed up on
a chair and said he was authorized to
Withdraw Swenson. Berryhlll became
excited. and cited the way the nomina-
tion for comptroller had been forced on
Nichols, and he demanded that Mr..
SWepson be forced to do likewise. This
was the commencement OF concerted
effort to shelve Lomen for municipal
Judge by placing another Scandinavian
