clared to be in order, G. o. Daley
arose and said that the record made
| by the Democratic aldermen was a
good one to go before the people with.
What was wanted was a good bust
ness administration. and he thought
Mr.. Petersen was the equal of other
| candidates named. He named Mic
| Petersen.
This nomination was received with
cold silence, and after some little
delay Mr.. Daley moved that nomina-
ton be made by reclamation. This
was carried with some degree of
unanimity.
Chas. I. Taylor, John G. Wise and
Robt Lamm were appointed COM
mittee to escort Mr.. Petersen to the
hall
J. A. Flittie named Ole Throdahl,
an old and respected citizen, for city
treasurer and moved that he be nomi-
mated by reclamation. This was
carried.
The chairman announced that the
nomination of city recorder was next
i n order A long silence ensued.
AS no one had any name to suggest,
Fl. Zimmerman read the list of names
of persons named for aldermen at the
various Democratic caucuses, and
moved that they be placed in nomina-
tion by the convention. The names
were Adloph Deebach, Henry F.
Leonard, Chas 7. Taylor, Nelson
Weed, Hans Jorgensen ana P. Fl.
Jordan.
Mr.. Jorgensen arose and declined
the nomination, saying that he lived
in a ward where, IF party lines were
drawn, as seemed likely, Democrat
would stand as much show of being
elected as a bird with his wings cut
off would to fly.
The convention would not listen to
Mr.. Jorgensen's declining, the chair
remarking that it was un-Democratic
to refuse an Office or words to that
effect and all of the names were en-
dorsed.
Arthur Schaub moved that the chair
man be authorized, after consultation
with the candidates, to appoint city
committee to consist of three from
each ward and a chairman and secre-
tary. This was carried.
On motion of Mr.. Daley, the COM
mittee was authorized to fill any va
cancies on the ticket.
The convention waited for three
q quarters of an hour for the committee
to return with Mr.. Petersen, and at
the end of that time it returned and
reported that the nominee could not
be found, as he had gone out riding
with his family. The convention then
adjourned.
1t is thought by some that Mr.. Peter
sen did note are to go on record before
the convention, in view of statements
made in recent interview, which are
so much at variance with the resolu-
tions adopted.
The convention did not find anyone
to name for special judge.
1t is said that Mr.. Peterson has
given assurances that he will accept
| the nomination.

MAIDS Hensen is now supposed to be
under arrest at Brainerd, and Sheriff
Gerlich left for there this afternoon,
accompanied by Freeman Ratclift, the
Amboy farmer who accuses Hensen of

convinced that Hensen is under arrest.

; The outcome of the caucuses cannot
be looked upon otherwise than as ar
endorsement of Aid. Meyers candidacy
for mayor by dec isive majority.
Several circumstances combined to de,
feat Col. johnson who is personally
popular. Probably that which had
most influence is the fact that he is
the local agent for railroad company,
between which and the city questions
are constantly arising. Various rail
way rumors are in the air, and Man
kato hopes to profit by rumored or con-
templated extensions, track building,
etc., and there is a general feeling that
the highest municipal Office should not
at this particular time be filled by an
employe of one of the roads. Un-
doubtedly another thing that reduced
Mr.. Johnson S vote was a fear on the
part of some that his lection would
mean a more liberal administration
along all lines than the present one has
been.
On the other hand the excellent ser
vice rendered in the council during
the past two years by Aid. Meyer
has not been forgotten by the voters,
and a general belief that he wo uld if
elected continue the same safe finan-
ical policy and the same policy regard
ing saloons as Mayor Currier has done
strengthened his candidacy all over the
city.
Whether the popular belief in regard
to the probable policies of hese two
gentlemen has been correct or not we
do not pretend to say. Both are very
estimable citizens, and the party could
go before the people with confidence
with either name heading the ticket.
1t is highly probable that Col. johnson,
if..mayor, would give the city safe
and clean administration, and if
Aid. Meyer is elected, as seems GER
tain, the Republican party in Mankato
will expect him to give the city the
same kind of an administration.
The only contest of any moment
likely to develop in tomorrow's con-
vention will be over city treasurer.
