NAME THEIR MEN,
Democrats of Kenosha Hold Their
CaucuseS in All the Wards of the
City Tuesday Evening.
A MIXTURE OF GOOD AND BAD

Aldermen Schlenker, Schultz, Pirsch and
Weller Are Renominated-T. ]. Dale Wins
in the Second Ward. and Joseph Tully
Defeats John o'Donnell in Third Ward
weier Has Narrow Escape in Seventh
ward-Many Weak Men on Ticket.
Our friends, the enemy, met in all
the wards of the city Tuesday evening
to hold the caucuses for the non1ina-
ton of candidates for the ward officers
on the Democratic ticket. Consider
able interest was taken in the caucus
es and in some of the wards the con-
tests were of a bitter nature. Espec-
tally is this true of the Seventh and
Third wards. III the Seventh ward a
hot opposition had developed against
the denomination of Alderman Chris.
Weier and for several hours the voters
wrangled attempting to find way to
beat the present representative of the
ward. However, Weier won out in the
end and about midnight a ballot was
taken which resulted in his being
chosen as the candidate of the ward.
Aldermen Schlenker, Schultz and
Pirsch had an easy fight and their
nomination was almost unanimous.
In the First ward Pirsch had a walk
over and received nearly the unani-
nous vote OF the caucus. In the Third
ward the fight was between John
O'Donne11 and Joseph Tu11y, while
Louis King had a pretty good follow
ing. Several ballots were taken and
Tu11y won out.
AS to the delegates selected in the
various wards, they are all German
men, and there can be little doubt but
that the present Mayor will practically
dictate the ticket of which he will be
the leader. There is no opposition to
him and the delegates chosen seem to
indicate that he will be named by ac-
c1amation when the convention meets
on Saturday evening.
AS to the men named for the various
ward officers, they are all well known
to Kenosha people. 1t is mixture of
good and bad and it would be out of
place at this time for us to offer any
further comment. Many of them have
records by which they can be judged
and the people will not be slow to see
the strength and weakness of the cam
didates. The full list of candidates
