Nominees.
The result Of the Democratic city
convention, which met Saturday
afternoon at the city hall, was quite
surprise, at least in regard to the
mayoralty. Up to the eleventh hour
| it seemed that the nomination for
mayor must 90 to eX-Alderman Henry
c.. Mayer us he was the only person
mentioned in that connection who had
evinced a willingness to accept. A
number of the delegates desired to
bring out Alderman Charles Null
| berger for the nomination, but those
who waited upon him were met with
an unqualified refusal to accept
the proffered honor However, to
avoid what many considered would be
a party calamity should Mr.. Mayer be
made the .nominee, Alderman John
j. Brusenbach, of the First ward, was
trotted out and he carried off the per-
simmons most handily.
The contest over the treasurership
ended in the primaries Friday night,
when the candidates for delegates
favorable to Emil Tanck were de.
feated in every ward by the sup
porters of Albert Fuermann. The
latter therefore had plain sailing in
the convention, Mr.. Tanck's name
not being presented.
A warm fight was waged against
Charles j. Wenck in his candidacy for
assessor and he went down to defeat
He was able to muster only five
votes. Perhaps Mr.. Fuermann's s
nomination injured him, as both are
residents of the Sixth ward.
The convention was organized by
the selection of Herman E. Kruger
as chairman and r. H. Radtke as
secretary. The chair appointed Fred
Zipfel and Charles Klemann as a
committee on credentials and the fol-
/ lowing delegates were reported as
entitled to seats: First ward, Robert
Polzin, Emil Ketlermann; Second
ward, r. II Radtke, Herman Zickert;

The informal ballot for mayor re-
suited as follows: Bruserbach. s; Mul-
berger, 3; Mayer, 5. On the first
formal ballot Brusenbach received 10
votes and Mulberger i Mr.. Brusen-
bach was declared the nominee,
though an effort to make the nomina-
tion unanimous was opposed by two
delegates. A committee was ap-
pointed to wait on Mr.. Brusenbach
and the latter appeared and accepted
the nomination.
| For treasurer only one ballot was
cast, Albert Fuermann receiving the
entire fourteen votes. He was de-
clared the unanimous choice.

tions for assessor resulted in the
choice of w j. Stacy and of Gustave
Gloeer, each being nominated on

the former was named stood: Stacy,
9; Gloger, 3; Wenck 2. The other
ballot stood: Gloger, 9; Wenck, 5.
