Feldhauser's Men Let Go.
Just as he did so there was shout
from the Ninth announcing that Field
hauser had freed his supporters from
their allegiance to him. But he did not
carry out the Donahower part of the
programme.
He let them go where they would.
This was shown when the Ninth was
reached in the call of wards for the
third ballot 1t was announced as ten
for Donahower, eleven for Kiefer and
eleven for Mailer. Some DonahoweT.

demanded that the ward be polled-
which proved the undoing of Dona-
hover, for when Feldhauser's German
contingent had to go on record the
members were afraid to oppose Kiefer
and he polled twenty votes. The Dona-
hover people hooted and then conclud-
ed 1t would be better policy to try CON
c1llatlon and they were in the Ninth
ward ranks before the ballot was an
nOunced.
The Third Ballot.
1t resulted in detail:

Work During Recess.
During the recess there was plenty
of work being done, and it was at this
time that the disastrous-to the Dona-
hover faction-scheme of using Mailer
for a bluff was concocted. 1t looked
fair enough on the face of it and
would have worked if the real strength
of Donahower had been made apparent
at first.
1t was 2:35, and there had been a con-
siderable addition to the gallery, when

to withdraw on behalf of the mayor

under obligation To Doran and must go

Edward Feldhauser had comparative

The denomination Of practically the
cid board Of aldermen was also conSid-
cred an awful handicap.
Market hall was crowded with dele
gates ard spectators when at 10:45 yes
terday morning Chairman Lightner, of
the Republican city committee, called
the convention to order. There was
Il score or more of policemen in the
hall. but they had to be reinforced
later. and even then they were power
less to enforce the commands of the
presiding officer in preserving order.
The platform was We'll filled with
guests wearing red badges, and that
part of the floor not occupied by dele
gates was filled up with politicians who
kept breaking into the convention at
all times when there was coaching to
be done.
Mr. Lightner read the call and asked
for the pleasure of the convention.
L. L. Mcdonald Chairman.
Gen. Mark D. Flower Sot the eye of
the chairman first and nominated E.

chairman. Mr.. Mcdonald was the anti
kiefer slate chairman, and when c. w.

champion Of the Kiefer crowd, it was
understood that there was to be a fight

asked that they be given more time.
Rows Begin Early.
There was a row on in both the COM
mittee on credentials and that on plat
form In the latter an attempt had been
made to force plank indorsing the
republican administration of the city,
ana there was opposition. They didn't
want to have it said that the convention

finally make it clear that Mr.. Doran
was out Of it-when he was applauded
with much enthusiasm. When he went
on and stated that Mr. Doran wanted
his friends to vote for Mr. Feldhauser
he was laughed at and some one shout
ed that Doran could not deliver his own
vote.
Insult to the Mayor.
The scene was most disgraceful and
the friends of the mayor on the plat
form were speechless with rage. Mr.
Godfrey's speech was brief. He said:

and he did not oppose Johnson. 1t was
declared formal ballot and the roll of
wards ordered.
Instantly there was pandemonium.
Schiffmann and other Donahower
strikers were allowed the floor in no
time, and they paid no attention to
the pieadings of the chair.
Lindhal Of the First ward, was
making Kiefer speeches and promises
to the recalcitrants in his crowd, but
without avail, and it took an eXecu-
tive session and explicit division of
the spoils to get them together in the
Kiefer interest.
Seventh Ward Mixed as Usual.
In the Seventh ward there was a
war brewing. and the endeavors of
the Donahower people to get Mahan
and some of the others to let go Of
Kiefer were vigorous, but unavailing.
There was a howl Of dismay from
the Kiefer forces when the vote on
the first ballot was announced. They
had actually counted on 100 to go, and
in a second Mr.. johnson and a gen.
tleman from the First had their fists
under each others noses. No harm
was done, and they made another deal
and shook hands on it. The Donahow-
err crowd was jubiant and proclaimed
loudly that the Feldhauser vote would
be theirs on the next ballot. The first
ballot in detail follows:

HuOuS and called out cries Of get out. y
quit kiddin' u.s." and others equally
expressive of derision.
Delegate in Knot.
The 1874 men on the delegates floor
tied themselves up in a knot in min
ute, and every faction went to work.
The Donahower people were among the
Feldhauser people, as soon as they
could Chamber across the seats, to the
undoing of clothing and the demolition
of hats. They did not get much Salts
faction, and they went into the Sew
enth. 1t was in these two wards that
most of the PROSECUTING was done all
through the contest.
The Seventh was open to conviction,
if the conviction led in the direction
of Mailer or Donahower Very early
in the game Mr.. Johnson and his allies
of the Kiefer ilk gave the Seven up
as a bad thing, and the DOnahower
push was sorry that it trified in the
end
The First ward was most desirable
as an aid to a candidate. but Filter
and Sundburg and Lindahl kept the
gates up there and did all the nego-
tiating themselves.
Chairman Needed n SIedge.
The chairman repeatedly called for
the vote of the First, but no one paid
the slightest attention to him and he
ordered the call to proceed, but could
get no response until the First had vot-
ed. 1t took a half-hour to get to the
second ballot. and during the entire
time there was not moment when
the chair could make himself heard
from off the platform.
When the second ballot was started
and the First gave evidence of being
susceptible of a change. in adding to
the Donahower strength, Schiffmann
and his crowd went into the air with
a war whoop and that instant little
Mr.. Johnson. of the Eighth, had an
inspiration. He sent out word to his
push to shout for Mahler, and the cry
was set up as an offset to the growing
Donahower sentiment.

Mr. Hall, of the Ninth went in for
the artful aid of allitera ton in nomi-
mating Mr. Feldhauser, and his efforts
were accorded a modicum of approba-
ton. He said:

Some Seconds Follow.
Mr.. Lindahl, on behalf of the Sixth
ward delegation or a part OF it, sec
onded the nomination of Kiefer and
Mr. Bigelow, on behalf of a ma ;ority Of
the Fifth, did as much for Donahower.
Then there were inquiries and shouts.
Doran had not been nominated and not
even heard from, but the seconding of
candidates went merrily on. Mr.. Griggs
declared that he was With Donahower
forever and Mr.. Jol1tson begged them
to nominate Kiefeer ot{4nd give him a
chance to roll up a IN aiorty of 1000,
which, he assured his hearers, was

The chair ordered that a ballot be
taken and asked whether it would be
a formal or informal ballot and then
and there the uproar started that was
never suppressed until the announce
ment of the final vote. A dozen mo-
tions were made in different parts Of
the hall that the chair could under
stand, and he could not restore order.
He directed that the ballot be proceed =

Hamm, charged with embezzlement, Is
still on trial. From the testimony given
by l.. b. Putney, the prosecuting wit
ness, it was brought out that in the fall
of 1895 he entered into a contract with
Hamm 4 Edie to engage in the sheep
business, agreeing to furnish the neces-
sary capital and to make good all losses
sustained. On Tuesday, G. H. Brown,
Mr.. Putney's bookkeeper, testified that
he kept the accounts OF Hamm & Edie
in their dealings with Mr.. Putney. The
latter had advanced 1874, s57'in the BUSH
ness and received between 5000 and
$21, 900 from 1t. Witness produced checks
and bills Of sale showing the sheep pur.
chased in the name of L. B. Putney, and
the amount paid for the sheep and TAX.
ing care of them. He also presented a
statement showing that Hamm & Edie
had disposed of sheep for between $685.
900 and $50, 900. He testified that since
the arrest of Hamm. MI. Edie had paid
back 81, 200 and a flock of sheep worth
from 81, 800 to $l,4O0.
