LEGISLATIVE FIGHT.
Senator's POttgieser, Sheehan and
Other FaVOrites Turned Down.


was somewhat less spirited than that
for county delegates by reason of The
fact that in some OF the districts there
was no opposition to the candidates
This was particularly true IN the
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. In the
Seventh ward, however, thee was a
close contest, the actual result of
which could not be aScertained last
evening, While in some Of tn precincts
Of the Ninth ward the result was also
close. In general the results reported
to the Republican headquarters last
evening were accurate enough to de-
termine who will likely be the success
full candidates before the convention
this morning.
In the First ward the result was
close between Andrew NOrdland and
J. G.. Jackson, both claiming a major
ity.
The returns from the Second ward
were disputed by friends of the can
didateS, but it is quite probable that
w. w. Dunn will win out over Stephen
McDOnough. II was claimed last even
ing that Dunn was absolutely certain
of nineteen out of the thirty votes.
Andrew Holm, in the Third ward,
was conceded an easy victor over DR..
baltimore, his friends claiming that he
had beaten baltimore in his own pre-
c!nct, and had sixteen delegates out of
nineteen. Henry Johns had no opposi-
ton in the Fourth ward, and Peter
ThauWald, it was claimed, had enough
of the Fifth ward delegation to insure
his nomination. There was no contest
in the Sixth ward, where c. S. Schur-
man had the entire delegation strength.
The closest contest was between F.
L. Krayenbuhl and S. E. Day, in the
Seventh ward. AS nearly as could be
learned last evening, however, the
chances appeared in favor of Krayen-
buhl by a slight majority. All of the
Seventh ward had been heard from,
but the Seventh and Eighth precincts
of the Eighth ward are in this district,
and the result from these precincts was
not known. In the Seventh ward
twenty-three votes We're claimed for
Krayenbuhl, while Day was given
eighteen with three or four doubtful
votes which 1t was conceded would
likely be his in the convention. There
are nine delegates from the two pre-
cincts Of the Eighth ward, some of
which will go to Day, but most of
them, it was claimed by Krayenbuhrs
friends, would go to the former dep
uty sheriff, thus insuring his nominal
ton. AS a result of the close result
however, there was some talk of E. 3,
Smith as dark horse candidate, and
it is possible that the latter may get
before the convention.
From the indications 5. B. Carter
will probably have the entire support
of the Eighth ward. For the district
of the Ninth ward, formed by the por-
ton south of the Great Northern
tracks, P. D. YOungman has the call.
The delegation met at the Windsor
hotel last evening and unanimously
passed his Endorsement. It was claim
ed that Walter Nelson, running in the
district composed of that portion of the
Ninth and Eighth wards north of the
Great Northern tracks, had twelve del
egates against Ed Snodgrass' one, out
Of the thirteen to which the district is
entitled. From what could be learned.
Mayor Fulton, of White Bear village,
had slight majority early in the ev-
ening in the Tenth and Eleventh wards
and the country, but later returns
showed gains for w. w. Rich, of New
Brighton, whose friends claimed he
would beat Fulton out in the cOnven-
ton.
The contest in the Fourth and Sew
enth wards between Hitler H. Horton,
Mic Pottgieser and G. +. ArrOI, for the
senatorial nomination, turned out to be
not much of contest after ALL as
Horton beat both of his opponents east
~. The results seem to show that he
carried every precinct in the Seventh
ward but two, giving him, so it was
claimed by his friends thirty-seven
out Of forty-five votes here, while
tWenty-four out Of thirty-four dele
gates are claimed for him in the Fourth
ward.
a spirited fight on T. D. Sheehan
brought about results that eliminated
last night in the statement from many
quarters that he was Skinned" This
did not appear on the face of the ticket
but plans were developed after the
delegation got together at the Windsor
to throw Sheehan, and to make w. w
Dunn, the legislative candidate of the
second ward, a senatorial candidate
II this is brought about Judge Schoon-
maker will probably be placed before
the convention for the legislative nom
ination.
For the Ninth and the Third wards
and that portion of the Eighth ward
east Of Western avenue, J. Watson
Smith appears to have a comfortable
majority over Edward Feldhauser and
DR.. Wirth. There are sixty-nine dele
gates, and it was claimed that Mr.
Smith was sure of at least fifty OF
them. In the First and Second wards
John G. Elmquist was said to have Wor
out while A. r. McGill will have little
or no opposition in the convention from
the Tenth and Eleventh wards and the
country
