Cannon.

chairman of the Black Hawk caucus and
j. G. Johnston secretary. The dele.
gates are: J. G. Johnston. NJ. Goble

While all the delegates are not in,
structed, it is safe presumption that r.
A. Donaldson has the majority from the
city for the nomination for sheriff and G.
+. Lambert has probably made as good
showing as anyone for the treasurership.
The First ward delegates are for Donald
son and Lambert, in the Third Harris has
two and Donaldson one, while Lambert
has the inside track for treasurer. In the
Fourth ward the balloting lasted until
after 10 o'clock. and finally resulted in the
Harris slate being knocked into q deplor,
able wreck. During the scuffie which re-
suited in the knockout of the present
street commissioner. heated controversies
ensued and at one OF two tapes in the
voting assault and battery seemed des>
tined to disgrace the proceedings. AS
the outcome of the animated session,
Lambert has the treasurship delegation,
while Donaldson probably controls the
delegates as to sheriff. Campbell has the
Fifth ward delegation for treasurer while
Atkinson. Harris and Donaldson will each
have something to say about how they
vote on the nomination for sheriff
In the Sixth ward there was q row and as
there is to be another caucus it is diff,
cult to determine how the delegates will
vote. In the Seventh ward VIM. Atkin-
son has the best of it for sheriff, and
Campbell and Lambert will each show
strength as to the treasurership in the
convention.
The South Rock Island delegates are
for Campbell for treasurer, while the
Black Hawk representatives are for Chinn
for sheriff and Crawford for representa-
tive.
The strongest opposition was every
where manifested toward III c. Harris in
