For Treasurer-M. A. Began.
For Assessors-G. Gloger and G. j. Wenck
The ticket above named was placed
in nomination by the Democratic city
convention Saturday afternoon. AL
derman Mulberger's elevation bv his
party to head it's ticket was consider
able of a surprise, as he was hardly
under consideration until the hour of
the convention. The nomination for
mayor was declined by both w. F.
VOss and Herman CRUDE, the two gen.
tlemen who had been most numerous
ly mentioned as possible candidates,
so Mr.. Mulberger was urged into the
field at the last moment Alderman
Began's nomination for treasurer was
predicted after the result of the cleo
ton of delegates in the different wards
was known.
The convention was called to order
at 2 o'clock by Chairman j. W. Moore,
of the city committee. James Malloy
was chosen to preside and Herman
Tetziatf was made secretary. The
committee on credentials reported the
following delegates entitled to seats:

j. Leschinger, James Malloy; Fifth,
w. Guetzlatf, Herman Tetzlaff; Sixth,
Herman Krueger, w. Scheel; Seventh,
F. O'Neil, r. Hasten.
After the temporary organization
had been made permanent and the
former city committee, composed Of
j. w. Moore, John Davies and ID.
Blumenfeld, had been reappointed,
the convention proceeded to select a
nominee for mayor. The informal
ballot resulted: II. Muiberger, 4;
Alfred Meyer, 3; I. A. Krueger, 3;
w. H. Rohr, ]. On the first formal
ballot Mulberger was nominated, re-
ceiving s votes, against for Kruger
and l for Meyer. The nominee was

cOrted before the meeting. He ac-
cepted the unexpected honor and

taxpayers interests.
