The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-09-22

able to do some business in the direc-
ton of the probate nomination with
the Ninth ward to trade on, but he got
into the field late and Bazille appeared
to have everything his own way.
There was a row in the First ward
that is not settled yet, in spite of a
caucus that lasted for several hours.
The ward is divided on the selection of
a candidate for treasurer. Lindahl,
A. C. Johnson and ArOsin were the
leading andidates-Elmund not being
in it 10 any extent. The final vote
taken in caucus gave Lindahl 10, John
son A. and ArOsin IL votes. The mat
ter will hardly be settled before the
| convention meets and the fight will be
| made on the floor, it being conceded
that Lindahl is the stronger man.
The big fight was in the Fourth. The
caucuses were hot enough to satisfy
anybody and there were numerous
rows. In most of the fighting precincts
the vote cast was equal to the voting
strength of the precinct on election
day. Both of the parties took adVan-
tage of all of the tricks known to poll
ticians, and Cunningham, the colOred
pantata, had a gang of Jackson street
cOlOred gentlemen in line all the even
| ing for Mic POttgieSer, explaining that
| Mic had helped him out with the 'Old
| man"-meaning Mayor Kiefer. There
| were several complicated tickets in
| most of the precincts, and the one
| thing that was clear after the polls had
closed was that Hitler Horton had
cleaned up both Pottgieser and Arrol.
1t also appeared that Irish had a ma
jority Of the delegates, but it was not
so sure that he could keep them in line.
Irish's manager, T. B. Neuhausen,
claimed twenty-three of the thirty-fOur
delegates, but admitted that there were
contests in two Of the precincts inVOlv-
.I.l~-
contests he would still be two shy of
| enough to claim the ward. There was
| constant dickering between the leaders
| all the evening to get a settlement of
! some kind, and every sort of effort was
made to get the opposing forces into
| caucus. 1t could not be accomplished,
| and unless something is done this
morning the Fourth for the first time
in years. will go into convention with a
| split delegation.
Leaders from other wards last night
notified the Fourth ward men that if
they did not get together and agree on
a candidate to present to the cOnven-
ton for sheriff they would take up an
| outside man. This was taken to mean
| that Ames would become an actual
candidate. 1t was understood general
| ly he was only in the fight to beat
! Fitzgerald, and now it is possible that
| ne may be taken UP in order to dis
! cipline the Fourth. If this is done
! there will be other changes in the ticket
as the Fourth must have something.
! Ihere was some money being bet last
night that Irish would be the nominee.
! and 1t developed that he had strength
| outside of the Fourth, which Libby had
not. The Fourth ward push had prac-
ticaily deserted Libby. and was de-
| clarlng that all the members wanted
! was to get Hitler Horton through, and
| they were satisfied.
The legislative convention will he
| called to order at 9 o'clock this morn
ing, and the county convention at 1920
There has been nobody selected for
the craftsmanship of either BODY vet
but Messrs. Lightner, Chamberlain and
j. r. George were suggested for the
presidency Of the county body.
