office was police mszistate. On this
nomination a contest was expected
and 1t came, though the opposition
the slate. Mr. Kostelak nominated
Mr.. Symons, Mr.. Astle did a little
"a Vor for Mr.. Ed. Butler and after q
pause Mr.. Reitz presented the name
of Mr.. Brown the present incumbent
A ballot was ordered and MeseTs. Alex
McAusland and c. L. Carter named
as tellers. The court disclosed the
presence of 90 voters, who distributed
their ballots As follows:

and Mr.. Butler wa declared the
nominee Of the convention. In this
instance the K. of L. had two candi-
dates n the field but even with their
combined vote were not strong enough
to overcome the straight democratic
opposition which carried Mr.. Butler
through triumphsntly. For city at
torney, DR.. COrcorau presented the
name ofMr. G. r. Middleton and there
being no opposition the nomination
was made unanimous.
There then remained the two alder
men to be nsmed, one from each ward
and the chair directed that the house
divide according to wards, which was
dcne. The second ward was numeri-
cally the str INCEST, numbering some
25. while the first ward could muster
but about 10. 1t was noticeable at this
/ point that a number Of gentlemen re-
/ mained seated In the middle Of the
hall refusing TO identify themselves
with either ward though all were resi-
dents of the city and voters. In the
fret ward the names of E. II. JohnsOn,
I Jepp Ryan and w. E. Savage were
placed in nomination but each declined
the honor. II the absence OF other
available candidates il wss decided to
force the nomination on Mr.. Savage
despite bis protest and it was done.
In the second ward Mr.. ThOs. Glib
presented the name Of VIM. Ward and
Lious King did like service for w.
H. Bullard. Mr.. Butler was made
chairman of this caucus and the nOmi-
nations being closed, ordered q ballot
which resulted as follows.
Ward ............---o
and Mr.. Bullard was declared the
nominee. In this contest Is in the
case Of the police magistrate the X. Of
L. had to succumb to the superior
strength OF the democratic, who had
come prepared to carry their points
agaidst all opposition, The ward
nominations having been reported N
the convention at large and annou iced
by the chair, the business Of the con-
vention was at an end and an adjourn
ment followed.
| Mr.schwArtz, the nominee for mayor,
came in after his case had been acted
on. Being interviewed by JOURNAL
man after the adjournment, be ex-
pressed great surprise at the action Of
the convention, claiming that IL was
in opposition to his expressed wishes.
Being pressed to say definitely whether
he would accept or not, he declined to
do so, and left the impression on the
scribe that he was in the condition OF
the unfortunate dame, who "vOwing
she would ne'er consent, consented"
AS before stated, the action OF the
meeting surprised nobody except per-
haps Mr.. Symons, who we understand
had been assured of his nomination.
With the exception Of Mr.. Savage,
whose nomination was regarded by
the instigators Of the movement ~ .
political necessity, the whole ticket Is
straight demOcatic, not even relieved
by X Of L. candidste, unless indeed
so horny handed a son Of toll as Mr..
schwartz can be included In their
ranks. and even he Is now 20 thorough
lv impregnAted with the order Of the
law that, under one of the most strin-
gent rules Of the order. he must have
ceased 10 be identified with them.
