Almost Unanimous Vote.
The democratic county convention
to elect delegates to the state conven-
ton in Minneapolis was held in this
city Friday afternoon.
Although the weather was unfayor-
able, the attendance was surprisingly
large, and the harmony which pre-
vailed throughout the proceedings
could not be considered otherwise than
pleasing to the leaders.
County Chairman Johnson raped
the convention to order at half-past
four and after reading the call gave
way to Charles P. Cutting of Sleepy
Eye who had been proposed to preside
over the conventions deliberations by
DR.. L. A. Fritsche OF New Ulm. Fred
Pfaender was chosen secretary.

lutions were appointed, the former
consisting of Capt. Steinhauser, DR..
L. A. Fritsche and County Attorney

to the 60 vernorship and alsosuggesteo

Wd. Eibner was the first to take
advantage of the latter suggestion
and proposed the name of Capt
Albert Pfaender. Someone suggested
E. P. Bertrand, another thought thai
M. Lehrer would make a desirable
candidate and still another proposed
4 the name of A. G. Ochs. but it was
apparent from the outset that Pfaendel
was the general favorlte. The young
attorney beingRcalled upon, and no
positively declining, a motion was
made to give him the conventions en-
dorsement and this motion was carried
by rising vote, hardly a delegate
dissenting. Thereupon committee
consisting of Wd. Eibner, F. w
Johnson, A. G. Ochs, w. r. Hodges
N. B. Ouren, DR.. Fritsche, Oscar
Erickson, VIM. Brust and Geo. Glotz
bach was appointed to wait upon Mr.

shortly after the adjournment of tn,
convention.
