The Peoples party county convention
last night resumed its session, which
Vas adjourned a week ago to await the
nominations made by the Democrats.
Not a little dissatisfaction with the
course of the Democrats was shown,
Yet a number of the nominations Of
that party were Endorsed.
These were:
For coroner, DIR. o. S. Pine.
For the senate, Thirty seventh dis
trict. t. H. Ellerbe.
For the senate Thirty-third district,
Edward Peterson.
For county commissioner, Oscar Tan
kerOff
Sheriff and James Cormican for clerk
OF the courts.
The nomination for abstract clerk
went begging, although Adolph
Paradis urged that a nomination should
be made. H. c. Peterson, Of the Eighth
ward, finally accepted it.
The office of county surveyor was
left vacant.
Miss Rebecca Taylor was nominated
for county superintendent of schools
and A. z. BOWe for district judge. The
other judicial place was not filled.
For county commissioners, the COM
mittee on nominations reported the
names of D. D. Harrington, John
Smith, Alfred Girard, William Stewart,
Peter Orth and Adolph Paradis. Mr..
Paradis declined and r. A. Walsh said
he had been requested to present the
name of Oscar TankenOff.
Mr.. Tankenoff was at first turned
down, but later Mr.. Walsh renewed his
motion and Scott Mcdonald and Jacob
Lazarus spoke in his favor, and he
was indOrsed.
Edward Peterson, nominated by the
Democrats for the senate in the Thirty
third district, was also nominated by
the POpulists, the house nominees be-
ing August Olson and George w. Rice
Scott Mcdonald was nominated for
the house from the Third ward.
Dr.. Sigler made a speech in behalf
of T. II. Ellerbe, who had been NOM
mated by the Democrats for the SEN
ate in the Thirty-seVenth district, and
who, he said. had been an eloquent ad-
VOcate OF fusion in the Democratic con-
Ventl0n. The convention rewarded Mr..
Ellerbe by nominating him also.
John f. Fisher was nominated for
the Thirty-fOurth district.
a proposition to nominate Grant Spi-
Ger for the house from the Fifth ward
was defeated, nine to seven, on the
ground that he had bolted the party
last spring.
Scott Mcdonald stirred up hornets
nest by proposing that E. H Card be
nominated for probate judge. Francis
H. Clarke said he would consent to
that if Mr.. Card would come before
the convention and confess that he
had been misquoted in the press in his
characterization of the Peoples party
as a lot Of bOodlers. Judge Card, who
was at the back Of the hall, came for
ward and took some little time to ex-
plain that he could not accept the NOM
inatiOn under the circumstances. He
had said that the party had fallen into
the hands Of bOOdIers and political
sChemers. He had tried to get it or
ganized on a sound basis, and he was
broken hearted. There was an effort
to smooth it over and assure the Judge
that, If he was real good, he might be
