The committee did not think IL best

ANYHOW"
Tie nominations committee came in

DOty. This report wa, signed by eight
OF the eleven members. Messrs. w cir,
Dahlby and Jockey refusing to sIgn.
the report, carefully fixed by Col.
Wrghts friends, follows:

rate municipal affairs from party politics,
and that committee nave made and Will lie
certificate, ~ nominations for mayor and
comptroller and niue members Oh the as
Resolved Tina. we IN axe no further nom

THIS report presented the mans OF
W. ". Nicholas for city treasurer and
j. \. Freeze. j. W Doty and +. French
for city justices tor east and west OF
Wabdsha and the Sixth ward respec-
lively.
II refused to sign that report, said
J. +. Lackey, FOR the reason that /
gave before. | am opposed 10 1t on
principle"
George f. Wells moved to amend and
indorse the candidates for mayor and
comptroller of tue Citizens Republican
ticket. but this was pointed out as uu-
necessary by several OF the members on
the ground that it had been done Mon
day evening.
II did not sign that report" said j.
NJ. Dahiby, FOR the reason that the citi-
Zens' convention did not indorse the
candidate for comptroller who is now a
candidate. | shall move later 10 h0ini-
nate a candidate for comptroller. The
man now on that ticket was named by a
convention held to-day"
~ favor that amendment" said Oscar
Wolf. "On last MONDAY night we III
dorsed the Citizens ticket, and there IS
no reason why we should not place them
Oh our ticket"
Nv hat is the use OF repeating our
splyes?' said Rev -. Morgan. We in
dorsed that ticket Monday evening, and
there is no SENSE in Wasting that much
money. If we 20 through this form we
VIII have to pay s. to get each one on
ticket where he will be without our
DOING that. Let us be sensible"
Rev j. B. Freeman advocated the
adoption OF the report OF tie committee
on the ground that the committee, or
eight Of the eleven members Of 1t. had
agreed on it. he amendment was de-
feated by vote of IS - 20, and the
report was adopted. The nominations
Of W. ". Nicholas, for treasurer; ). n.
Freeze. ID. ". DOty and +. Vi. French,
Tor Justices, and Oscar Wolf Tor the
assembly, were indor5ed or ratified 10y
the convention. and then the ward al
dermen were taken up and the RrpnO
licans indUrSed in nearly every case, as
follows:
First Wari-John Copeland.
Secoal-E o. Zimmerman.
Third-John Moak.
FOurth-NO nomination.
Fifth-NO nomination..
SIXTH. " McIIOse
Seventh-F q. Ingersoll.
Eishth-C II. Me!by.
Ninth-flaus p. Jensen.
Tenth-Thomas Montgomery.
ELEVENTH.. {. Hickman.
But there was trouble over this mat
ter. Hardly any OF the nominations
were made without opposition aud hints
of trade. The Ninth ward was passed
first. but later the chairman said
"lf not too late we wish 10 present
the name Of Hans =. Jensen FOR alder
maa in the Ninth ward.
Now believe. said Oscar Wolf,
"that we have nominated number OF
the men nominated by the Republicans
today Now move that we reconsider
the vote in that report. Inc other
evening we overwhelmingly Endorsed
that ticket. and | wait to have some eX-
preston on it tonight"
But Mr.. Wolf had voted on the wrong
side OF the question originally and he
was ruled out of order. When, how
ever, the Ninth ward man pressed the
Jensen matter there was solue kicking.
Another Republican," SAID Osca T
Wolf.
Another Republican" remarked j.
E. Laekey.
"Now gentle peu," said c. \. Wood
ward, Il was At tthe Republican con
many criticisms of Mr.. Jensen and l
am satishedshe is not the kind OF man
i We want to .saaofse."
II know Mr. Jensen said j. NJ
Dahlby, "and he Is just as good as any
other Republican, we have endorsed.
Now that ra are on the right track and
have pres sf~of doing something tor
Prohibition Is stand s0lidly for the
ticket We have got for once a man
pledged to do something for Prohibit
ton and let US 90 out from here and let
no stone unturned 10 elect him. Let
Us endorse Jensen and all the others"
Mr.. Jensen was indorsed without OPP
position after the speech. Rev. ID.
Morgan was called upon to take up a
subscription to meet expenses, and IN
a few minutes raised 50.
Il rise to a question of privilege, said
delegate. rs this money 10 20 to the
Republican campaign fund"'
