The City
CaucuseS.
The Nor-P Partisan and Citizens Parties
Both Make Nominations.

Both Make Nominations.
Capt. Burg Emphatically Declines to Make
the Race for Mayor.
Two caucuses were held Friday even:
ing, one at Turner Hall by the Citizens
organization and the other at Union Hall
by the so-called Non Partisan party.
The Citizens meeting was presided
over by Capt. Albert Steinhauser, with
VIM. Pfaender Jr. as secretary.
When the matter of nomination was
preached, someone suggested the name
of Capt. Frank Burg for mayor. Other
names were also proposed, but as Mr..
Burg was the only one who was not pres
ent to decline, the nomination went to
him unanimously.
Since the caucus, however, Mr.. Burg
has registered an emphatic no, and even
instructed the city clerk to keep his
| name from the ballots.
For city clerk Henry Keller and Louis
Schilling were proposed and ballot or
dered. Il resulted in favor of Keller by
q vote Of rs to IA, and he was accord
idgly declared the nominee. =.
Fol treasurer Anton Ziehsr had no
opposition, and the same was true of
Geo. Jacobs for justice. j. G. Gelger
received the nomination for constable.
The caucus pot being delegate body
it then became necessary to sign petit
tons of nomination, and after this had
been done and "a speech had been made
by John Nonnemacher the meeting di-
vided up into ward caucuses for the
purpose of nominating candidates for al
dermen.
In the First ward an effort was made
to endorse Richard Pfeferle, but without
success. Herman Nagel had too many
friends there for that, and they easily Sc
cured for him denomination to an Of
fee that he has sought for several years.
The Second ward caucus had far more
trouble in finding man. Many were
proposed, but none there were who would
agree to say yes. Finally all efforts were
turned upon Peter Herian and at length
he consented.
The Third ward citizens nominated
Chas. Hansing, and it is now certain that
he will make the race.
This leaves three places on the ticket
blank-maycr, justice and constable.
On Saturday, however, Louie Mueller
circulated petition asking that his
name he placed on the ballot as a candi-
date for justice. Whether this Is to be
received as one of the Its jokes or
whether he is really earnest in his desire
to mete out justice in New Ulm remains
to be seen.
The Non Partisan caucus was. fairly
we'll attended and the business did not
consume::much time.
VIM. Brust presided and VIM. Mues.
sing did the duties as secretary.
DR.. Weschcke was renominated fol-
mayor without opposition. IL
The vote for clerk was divided be.
tween Schill1ng and Keller, much the
samelas at Turoer Hall, but with this dit,
ference, that. ..Schilling had the majority
and was declared the candidate of the
caucus. -
I No opposition was offered 10 the re.
nomination of Zieher for treasurer and
likewise none to Jacobs for justice
John Daut was nominated for constable
When it came to the ward caucuses
there was just as little friction as in the
general assembly.
+ The first ward put forward Richard
Pfefferle, the Second named Louis Buen-
ger and the Third Ernst Gleseke.
All of these have filed their certificates
and it is quite probable that in some OF
the wards the contest will be close.
The fact that spirited fight is on for
the Office of city clerk will surely lead to
a large vote and materially effect the
election in other respects. Otherwise it
is doubtful if enough interest could be
aroused to Indicate that al election was
at hand.
