that this instinct was correct

( that this instinct was correct.
AS early as o'clock in the evening
crowds began to visit the polling plac-
es in the old court house, the school
house in German Park and the city
clerks Office, and these enthusiasts
were soon able to get a line on the sit
uation. The second ward completed
its count first and it gave Bobleter a
plurality of 48 votes. Then the third
was heard from and when it was found
that Schilling had carried it by only
II the Bobleter partisans were jubi-
liant, while the friends of the older
man conceded his defeat. It remained
for Bobleter's own ward, the first, to
send him into the clerks Office with
colors flying. They rallied strongly
to his standard and gave him IA the
best of the argument, bringing his
plurality for the city up to It's ballots.
The treasurship contest was most
one-sided, and VIM. Frank had not
the slightest difficulty in carrying all
three wards. The first went to him by
1856, the second by 50 and the third by
lO7, his total majority being 376.
There was no organized opposition
to any of the other candidates. In
the first ward IS votes were cast for o.
M. Olsen for alderman and Jacob
Klossner, Jr., received 10 ballots in
the second for the same position.

be felt when he steps into Office as the

it, for the affairs of the city will be

Edward J. Bobleter is elected city

Edward J. Bobleter is elected city
clerk.
Yesterday, at the most hotly-con-
tested city election held in New Ulm in
a decade, he was Endorsed by the voters
and given the very comfortable plural
ity of IT'S. His older opponent, Louis
Schilling, was caught in aperfect storm
of ballots and completely overwhelmed.
It was case of too much Liesch and
Eckstein.
Charles SilversOn, at the head of the
ticket, went through thoutopposition
and polled the splendid vote of $40, a
fact which illustrates his popularity
and shows that there was very little
cutting. AS was expected VIM. Frank
ran well ahead in the fight for city
treasurer and won out over Franz
Schubert, the council appointee to the
position. n. Henningsen and Ernst
Brandt for justices, Jos. G. Tauer for
constable and Herman Nagel, Will
bald Eibner and Ernst Gieseke for
aldermen, were all returned to their
positions, but in the cases of two OF
the aldermen little dissatisfaction
with their actions was expressed by
some of the people, when they gave
complimentary votes to, men who were
not on the ticket.
The result was acomplete vindica alton
of the attitude taken by this paper
when it urged the support of the caucus
nominees.
Naturally, the most intense interest
conferred in the contest for the city
clerkship. For a week past it has been
the one absorbing topic ofconversat alton
with the male population of the town
and speculation as to it's outcome was
always rife. When E. j. Bobleter was
nominated at the non-partisan caucus
by more than two votes to one it gave
him an advantage of no slight pro-
portions but Immediately after the re-
suit of the mass meeting became

It is what a man is, not what he has
been, that counts with the people of
New Ulm.
There were an unusual number of
scattering votes for the minor offices
in all of the wards.
Seventy ballots gave Mic Andring
the election as the second constable.
He was also a caucus nominee.
Music had charms last night. Sew
eral of the local bands were out sere-
| nading the successful candidates.
Some of the credit belongs to the
men behind the typewriters. 1t was a
busy week for both letter bureaus.
All of the candidates profited by the
clerk fight. It brought out the vote
without great trouble on their part.
It was observed that there were no
red-fre seances at the Journal, News,
Post or Fortschritt offices last evening.
In the first ward the voters stood by
the caucus nominees staunchly. That
precinct gave Bobleter a plurality of

JEFFERSON GUARD UNIFORM
mt the Worlds Fair VIII BE an
Attractive One.

st. Louis, March 20:-Within a
month the officers of the Jefferson
Guards expect that the members of
the Worlds fair military forces will
be resplendent in the new uniforms
that nave been adopted by the police
committee of the exposition.
Two styles of uniforms have been
adopted by the committee and ordered.
The first is a dress uniform of blue
cloth, the other a fatigue uniform of
regulation khaki. One thousand of the
first style have been ordered and 500 of
the latter
The first consignment of the fatigue
uniforms have been received, and as
the guard is daily being recruited to
greater numbers these will be given
out to the new recruits. A shipment
of the dress uniforms is expected to be
received soon. The police committee
has decided to arm the guards with a
side arm, consisting of short sword,
patterned after those worn by the po-
lice of continental cities.
The dress uniform adopted for the
Jefferson Guards is said to be a re-
splendent affair, with froggs, brass but
tons and other military trappings,
which will make of Jefferson Guard
on parade truly impressive figure.
Those who have seen the model say
that it will eclipse the dress uniform
worn by the Columbian Guards at Chi
cago.
