Republican City Convention.
Twenty-two duly elected dele
gates to the republican city conven
tion assembled at the court honce
Saturday evening and 1 named a
ticket that will be elected on the
Sth day of April.
Geo. B. French was elected chair
man and B. S. Davis secretary. An
informal ballot for mayor gave the
present incumbent, Lester Walker,
nearly the full yote of the convei -tiou
and upon motion the informal
ballot was made iormal and Mr.
Walker declared the nominee.
On the nomination for clerk a
deadlock occurred, and nearly a
core of ballots were taken before
a selection occurred. The delegates
from the First and Third wards
numbered eleven while the delega
tion from the Second ward con
sisted of the same number. The
First and Third ward held ttgether
as one man with a view of secur
ing the nomination of Greeley Bun
ly, while the Second ward were
united on Harry Samelson. In
order to bring about a possible
break in the Second ward delega
tion, the First and Third wards
switched to and fro and on the last
ballot cast eleven votes lor Arthur
Hammond. On this ballot the
Second ward had cast its full vote
for Samelson, but John B. Bvans
arose and changed his vote from
Samelson to Hammond, thus giv
ing the latter twelve votes or suf
ficient to nominate. The opposing
delegations could haye changed a
vote also and thus prevented a
nomination, but this did not appar
ently occur to them they had been
outgeneraled. Mr. Hammond was
declared the nominee.
For treasurer Robt. Shuman was
renominated by acclamation and a
similar action was taken in regard
to city engineer, Chas. P. Ross
being declared the nominee.
In nominating candidates for
members ot the board of education
another deadlock occurred, and a
large number of futile ballots were
taken. A compromise was finally
effected by which a Third ward
delegate consented to vote for one
of the men proposed by the Second
ward delegation, and as a result
the successtulcandidates were John
Sorcnson and B. T. Tramp.
B. F. Seeberger was elected
chairman and B, S. Davis secretary
ot the city central committee, and
a motion prevailed that the commitr
tee be given the power to fill any
vacancies on the ticket that might
occur.
The convention 1 hen adjourned.
