While the committee was
out Rev. Hornaday , a repub
lican spectator who chanced to
be present , was called on for a
speech. In response Mr. Horna
day said he was ready in or out
of the pulpit to denounce sin
where he found it and that he
was in favor of a reformation in
city government , and deplored
the way gambling had been
allowed unrestrained in the city.
He favo.red nominating men who
would see that the laws of our
city and statutes were not openly
violated. As he had just return
ed home from several weeks visit
in the eastern part of the state ,
the Rev. gentleman evidently did
not know that the republicans
had placed in nomination just
that class of men. At this junc
ture John Painter moved to take
an informal ballot on candidate
for mayor. The names of J. J.
Wilson , J. G. Lcming , Dr. Shoe
maker , Easthain , D. W. Thomp
son , Purcell and Flick were
brought out. J. J. Wilson re
ceived 43 votes of the 57 cast ,
and on motion of Painter , the
informal ballot was declared
formal by acclamation. Mr. Wil
son was called for and expressed
his gratefulness for the nomina
tion. J. G. Painter then moved
that the rules be suspended and
that C. H. Holcomb be nominated
for city clerk by acclamation ;
carried. On motion of J. G.
Painter W. D. Blackwell was
nominated for city treasurer by
acclamation. Mr. Painter then
moved that Ed McClure be nomi
nated for city engineer ; carried.
On motion of Painter the caucus
separated into wards for the pur
pose of nominating councilman.
The first ward endorsed J. M.
Kimberling , the republican nom
inee , second ward nominated E.
R. Purcell and the third ward
J. G. kerning. On motion of
Painter a central committee was
chosen consisting of H. J. Shinn
as chairman , C. E. Wheeler from
the first ward , Harry Cox rom
the second and D. W. L/anterman.
from the third ,
