The Western DELEGATES Control Things and
Knock Out New Ulm's Twenty.
The Latter's Attempt to Monopoli7e Com
pletelY Frustrated.
A Peculiar Resolution in Favor Of Peter
son Prevails.

New Ulm's twenty weren't in it. The
delegates from the west recalled the treat
ment accorded them in the last conven-
ton, and came down with the purpose
of having fair play, What they wanted
was that New Ulm's linen should not be
washed by the Republicans of the whole
county and they succeeded in their pur-
pose by choosing ticket that will stand
an excellent chance of election.
II. G. Hays presided throughout the
convention and j. H. Weddendorf acted
as clerk. The following committees were
aprcinted in the forenoon after which an
adjournment was taken till two o'clock
to allow the New Ulm delegates to do a
little slate work.
Credentials: Chas. Silverson, A. ]. Gill
man and Aug. Windhorn.
Resolutions: Geo. W. Somerville, N.
Hcnningsen and Hans Mo.
Organization: A. Blanchard, W. W..
Smith and P. ]. Moe.
The first office filled was that of repre-
sentative. Nels Christianson of Prairie
Vile was nominated by Paul Jacobson
and Geo. somerville by Geo. Raverty.
Mr., Somerville withdrew and Christian
sen was accorded the honor by acclama-
ton.
P.J. Moe then nominated John Larson
for Clerk of Court and there being no op-
position the selection was made unanl-
mously.
The struggle for the authorship was
interesting. Smith nominated F. I'll.
Buelow and Peter Moe announced the
name of N. Henningsen. The informal
ballot showed the following vote: Hen
ningsen, 80; Buelow, 25. A formal bal
lot was then taken with entirely different
results. The vote was just about reversed
Henningsen receiving only "a to Buelows s
SO. Buelow was accordingl ly declared
the nominee.
1t was against Burg however that the
New Ulm leaders exerted their strongest
efforts. Aug. Windhorn was placed in
nomination against him and the informal
ballot gave Windhorn 26 and Burg 80.
The chairman ordered a formal ballot
and then G. H. Hornburg asked for tif-
teen minutes recess. The western dele
gates knew what this meant and Smith
at once put d stop to it by remarking
that a recess could not be taken in the
midst of ballot. Some good rustling
was then done by the western delegates
in Burg's behalf and the formal ballot
stood in Burg's favor as follows: Burg,
"a; Windhorn, 27. The greatest ap-
plause during the convention followed.
For County Attorney, the New Ulm
delegates proposed the name of G. A.
Hagberg, while Somerville in neat
speech put forward L. G.. Davis. The
ballot gave it to Davis by vote of 80
to %.
Nels Anderson was renominated for
sheriff by acclamation, and the nomina-
ton for Judge of probate went to Jonas
Laudenschlaeger in the same manner.
W.P. Grimes had no opposition for
register of deeds, and was accorded the
nomination with a will.
A little contest arose over the office OF
superintendent of schools, by having
three candidates, T.R. Brownlee: B. Juni
and Ed. Alvin, placed in nomination,
but it was soon decided in Brownlee's
favor. The other nominations made were
L. Buenger for coroner, Geo. Boock for
surveyor and Andrew Jackson Gilman
for court commissioner, The Second dis
trict decided on NJ. Roeck for county
commissioner and the Fourth on P. D.
Raverty.
A long -winded resolution evidently
drafted by Hays and inspired by that
restless seeker after office, Sam Peterson
was also passed, intended of course to
help some little scheme that Peterson
has on foot. It sets forth in the first
place that the senatorial delegation elect
ed at Sleepy Eye was chosen without
warrant, inasmuch as no call had been
