w. H. Rogers, Fort Atkinson: John
Spangler, Jefferson; J. w. Moore, G.
II. jacob, Watertown; Fred A. Strass-
burg, Waterloo; Robert Foljahn,
Rome; Albert Goerz, Jefferson.
As will be noted, the defeated can
dldates of two years ago who sought
a denomination were again favored,
with the single exception of John E.
Morgan for county clerk. For some
of the other Offices there were also
other candidates, but the only spirited
contest was over the nomination for
district attorney, H. T. Ames, Of Wa
terloo, locking horns with Mr.. Rogers
and coming near defeating him. The
vote on the informal ballot was a tie.
35 to 50, but on the first formal ballot
one Of the Ames men broke to Rogers,
the latter being victorious, SO to 81.
Contrary to the prophesies in some
quarters, A. j. Weis, present register
Of deeds, was not candidate for the
Democratic nomination against Mr.
Heger, the formers name not being
presented and the latter being nomi-
mated by acclamation.
So far as resolutions were con-
cerned the convention was a total
blank. There was no declaration of
principles of any nature whatever. and
our Democratic friends showed too
well their disinclination to meddle with
any OF the public questions of the day.
