alderman was so close that Mr.. Rounds
fled the following protest with the city
committee:
Hon. John H. Fogg, Chairman Republican
City Committee:
The undersigned, candidate for alder
man in Ward 3, hereby gives notice that
he protests against the vote of the caucus
in said ward, as recorded by the officers
of said caucus, for the following reasons:
That the call for said caucus stated
that the polls should be open from 7.30
to $50 p. M, and in this case the polls
open until long after said time had were
expired, although motion was made and
seconded that the polls be closed at the
proper time; and long after the polls
should have been closed several ballots
were cast. these being illegal and no near
being decisive ballots as that their be-
ing thrown out would change the candi-
date nominated.
And further that no call was read at
said caucus.
Therefore the undersigned hereby pc
titions and demands a resubmission of
the candidates at said caucus be held at
such time and place and that a new
caucus as your committee may decide

date hereof
Respectfully yours,
