The caucu. held in the opera house,
Thursday evening, was as representative
gathering as is possible in Aberdeen,
and the ticket nominated is the strongest
ever presented to the voters of the city.
1t was gathering OF very independent
voters, with views OF their own, and sew
eral little prearranged states were shat.
tered to pieces. The large number
present-294 votes being cast for mayor
almost insures the election of the ticket.
The caucus was called to order by
Judge Pearson, and +. B. Benn was
chosen chairman, an1 Geo. A. Black and
E. E. Bonner secretaries. 1t was decided
to vote by ballot, and where more than
two names were voted upon, the one
receiving the lowest number on the first
ballot was to be dropped.
For mayor the names OF A.. j. West,
John Lindstrom and G. B. Weatherwax
we're presented. On the first ballot
West received 1l6, Lindstrom IS, and
Weatherwax &C. The second ballot gave
the nomination to Mr.. West by vote
Of 100 to 1874.
Geo. A. Black, 2. +. Clark and Roy
Sargent were placed in nomination for

119, Black 90, and Sargent SO, eliminat-
ing the latter. Clark won out easily on
the second ballot, with 146, to 81 for

entered for the Office of treasurer, the
first named winning by 1873 to lib. -
For attorney, Col. E. II. Fox, John CT
Hogan and VIM. o. McKinlay were
nominated, and Fox was declared the
nominee on the first ballot, having re.
ceived more votes than TIE other two
combined. The vote stood, Fox 125,
Hogan II, McKinlay 20.
DR.. Paul SHIFTS was placed on the
ticket for health officer by reclamation,
an attempt to be witty at the expense OF
Micheal Finn having fallen flat.
l.. l.. Maley and "A. II. Farnam were
balloted on for Office of councilman.at
large, Maley winning by vote of 1876
to 66.
The city caucus then adjourned, after
naming the ticket "The Citizens Ticket"
AMI the ward caucuses were held, with
the results noted above.
TWO MORE TICKETS.
The adherents OF the defeated aspir-
ants at Thursday nights caucus held a
caucus in the council chamber. Saturday
night, and, after endorsing A. J. West,
the Citizens nominee for mayor, made
the following nominations:
Councilman, at-Large--J. Lindstrom.
City Attorney-John G. Hogan.
City Treasurer-W. w. Weatherwax.
City Clerk-Geo. A. Black.
Health OfIicer-Dr. OvermeyeE
Councilman, Second Ward-C. Sauers.
The Aberdeen political machine has
undertaken to elect this ticket, although
it bears the name of Peoples ticket.
Judge Pearson let the cat out of the bag
at the wind.up of the caucus, when he
made motion to have it called tie Re.
publican ticket. The motion was sent
"way back" by the managers, but the
doughty judge maintained that it was a
republican ticket throughout, no matter
what name it sailed under. A hurried
adjournment was taken to stop further
expose of the politics that are to be
played.
In order to strengthen the machine
ticket another caucus was held later in
the evening in Elks' hall, and "Union
Labor" ticket was framed endorsing the
"slate," with the exceptions Of naming
G. P. L. Roberts for mayor and I. w.
Mason for councilman.at-large. The
labor unions of the city totally repudiate
the caucus acting in their name, and Mr..
Roberts refuses the nomination thrown
at him in the hope of catching the labor
vote for the machine nominees, SO that
the third ticket is likely to receive scant
consideration at the hands of the voters.
