Several pounds of soiled cloth were
masticated over the appointment of
county committee. Some wanted the
congressional, judicial and county COM
mlttees fused. but their scheme, said
to have been conceived in the brain of
A. j. BOardman, miScarried, and it was
decided to put upon the committee one
man from each ward and from the
country, the committee being instructed
to cooperate with the congressional
ana Judicial committees on all common
work-to select a joint executive COM
mlttee which should direct their COM
mon work. A. III. Hall, A. j. Board
man and others wanted the consolda-
ton scheme adopted so that they could
manipulate the campaign in their own
interest, but their scheme was dropped
upon. Ace p. Abel was then nomi-
mated for court commissioner by accla-
mmatIon, and recess was taken to al
low the Second and Fourth districts to
nominate candidates Tor county COM
missioner.
There was neat little contest
among the Southsiders in the Second
district. There was large-siZed fight
on against John B. Swift. the present
commissioner. and to down him five
other candidates.. b. Rybey, Christian
ShOl, G. A. Stats. S. l.. Brearley and
Christian Hilstad were put in nomi-
nation, Brearley and Rybey being
Swlft's str INCEST opponents. At
one time the Sonthsiders nearly came to
blows, but Swift Was finally chosen.
In the North, or Fourth, district Peter
Rauen had three opponents-Albion
Barnard, Swan G. johnson and John
Baxter. Rauen was chosen. Both

ventiOn adjourned. +
