ble. Iho safety OF the slated CandlOat0,
Mr.. Reed, was threatened for a time,
but he finally pulled through all right.
His opponent wa Fred fHollenbaek,
like himself a popular fellow, against
whom it was impossible to solidify the
Baker forces.
Mr.. Reed was nominated by a vote of
10 to ID.
The following were then nominated
by reclamation:
Register of Deeds-Walter Shelton.
Clerk of the Court-Clarence Price.
States Attorney. G. Rapelje.
The Office of coroner was passed.
Webb's name was mentioned, but the
chair said he was on the republican
ticket and that settled it.
County JUDGE. P. Hunt.
Surveyor-John Harold.
Braithwaite asked if Harold was a
democrat and was told he was, so he
passed muster.
In selecting assessors, justices and
constables all sight of the independent
ticket was lost.
Justices-Ed Flanagan, Phil Harvey
and William Scott.
Mr.. Hunt nominated Mr. Braithwaite
for the fourth justice, but Braithwaite
declined, and in doing 30 nominated
Michael T. O'Connor.
Mr.. O'Connor-Again I decline any,
thing at the hands Of this outfit. I'll &C
on my own hook, like Paddy Wards
goat.
At this point Mr.. Scott, who has beer
a close reader of the TRIBUNE for 10
these many years, with a twinkle in his
eye and an extra dimple in his cheek
suggested M. 81. Jewell for justice, but
before Braithwaite could object someone
else was mentioned, and the ball KEPT
rolling.
