A Disgracefnl Scene.
HolbrOOk men yelled with delight on
the announcement of the vote. Then
occurred the only unpleasant incident
of the day. John Fichette made the
unheard of m0tionsto elect by acclama-
ton the man having the next highest
number of votes on a formal vote, Hol-
brook. G. Nj. Foote arose to address tue
chair. Fichette made an uncalled-for
and ungentlemanly attack upon Mr..
Foote. He threw off his coat and acted
riotouSly. The convention was in An
uproar for five minutes. Fichette mar
rowly escaped a trouncing. He was
taken out of the building. When the
form and protested against being sub
jected 10 such treatment. He also asked
the convention to proceed to anOther
ballot. The balloting proceeded in the
midst OF outrageouSly. diSgracefully
tumultuOuS conduct on the part of a
few delegates. who crowded around the
tellers and tried to intimidate voters.
The second formal ballot resulted:

The result was received with cheer.
Mayor p. b. Winston, Senator FIG. Nc
MILAN and G. Nj. Foote were appointed
to bring Mr.. Haynes before the conven-
ton, after the
Nomination of NIr. Haynes
had been made unanimous on Mayor
Winston's motion. Mr.. Haynes made
speech OF acceptance, brief and to the
point. He did not seek the nomination.
Not until last Saturday did he consent
to allow his name to be used. He cVri-
sented then only because good
many Democrats who were unable to
unite on any other candidate pressed
him into the service. He thanked the
men who had supported him. and as
sured those who had opposed him of his
admiration for their conduct. because he
knew they had opposed HIM but for one
reason-that he was Democratic alder
man from Republican ward. But he
knew he would have the united support
OF his party. and was confident that he
would be elected. Ho believed he I'M
derStoOd certain well known principles
city like Minneapolis. He would do
his best to make a good mayor. +. q.
Holbrook followed, and gracefully be-
spoke for MIR. Haynes the harmonious
support of the Holbrook supporters.
That settled the speechmaking, and the
convention went back to
Other Nominations.
While the mayoralty ballots were be-
ipp POuntnh nominations for oity frpoc-
urer were declared in order. A. t.
Ankeny named Joseph c. Scollen and
moved his nomination by reclamation,
and Charlie Hashow insisted upon
nominating kristian Kortgaard, but
kortg aard was not candidate. Scollen
was nominated. He Is the cashier Of the
IriSh-American bank.
Sobon Armstrong was renominated
for comptroller without dissenting
voice.
Some Committees.
The chairman was empowered to ap-
point three committees of one from each
ward and four at large, one committee
to select two candidates for the school
board, one to select two candidates for
the library board and one to select four
candidates for the park board. The
chairman was also authorized to appoint
city committee of one from each ward
and four at large.
Something of squabble arose over
the method of nominating candidate
for municipal judge. DIR. Gibson moved
that the nomination be left to the city
committee. He said the Democratic
ticket from top TO bottom would be in
dorsed if the Populists were allowed to
name the candidate for municipal Judge
The POpulists boosted so fiagrantly last
Monday that they would have nothing
to do with the Democrats, that the con-
vention yesterday decided to nominate
only Democrats. Then a motion to pro-
coed to ballot without nominations was
voted down. j. II. Nickel nominated
S. R. Child. An East side attorney
named Benton then took the platform.
He ranted and roared. He swelled and
scared. He bombarded the ceiling with
high sounding inanitieS and weak plati-
tudeS. He wore out the patience of the
convention and his harangue was fin
ished in storm of cries of time" and
name your man."He Judge
c. B. Elliott, the present incumbent.
The annoyance of the delegates was
converted to amusement, and Benton
was jeered. Prof. w. Nj. Peterson
took the platform, and nominated John
j. McHale, the present South side just
ice of the peace. c. Ii. Spencer named
Charles j. Goebel. w. Z. Hewitt pre-
sented the name of Charles +. Baxter.
