ringer, J. H. Whitney, William Dodge,


The Seventh ward also elected an
unpledged delegation, most of whom are
Mckinley men and have a strong pref
erence for Sheldon and Lindley as del
eRates to st. Louis. The Otis -Lindley
fight, however, was kept in the back
ground, so as to make it appear that
the delegates shall go into the district
convention free to act as they deem best
for the party's good.
There was no excitement at the polls
and practically no electioneering.
The caucus ticket was the only one
that materialized, and Of the 149 ballots
cast only three were scratched.
A trafficker in votes waited upon one
of the caucus nominees early in the day
and told him he had fourteen votes
which he would deliver at fifty cents
apiece, but as there was no opposition
to- the ticket, the aforesaid nominee did
not avail himself of the bargain.
The following twenty-eight delegates
were named to represent the Seventh
ward in the Seventy-fourth assembly
district conventions:
G.. G. Symms, N. 3. Walker, H. L.
Hopkins, M. l.. Starin, c. M. Hoff, J.
