Work Soon Completed.

The republican county convention, which convened at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and which adjourned until 7 that evening, completed its work at a little after 9 o'clock, nominating full legislative, county, precinct and city tickets, making what is conceded on all sides to be one of the strongest and cleanest tickets ever placed before the people of Albany county. There was entire harmony at all times during the sessions of the convention. Many of the candidates were nominated without opposition, but in two or three instances there was a spirited contest, absolutely good natured. The first of these contests came when Will McMurray and Sheridan Downey were placed in nomination for county attorney. But one ballot was necessary, the full strength of the convention being shown in the balloting, which resulted as follows:

Downey 34

McMurray 19

There was no further contest until the office of road supervisor was reached, when George Nottage, August Kassahn and O. V. Stromberg were placed in nomination. Fifty-three ballots were cast in this contest, the result being in doubt on the first ballot until the clerk had announced the vote, as Chairman Atherly held that the successful candidate must receive a majority of all votes cast. The ballot was tabulated as follows:

Stromberg 27

Nottage 19

Kassahn

Mr. Knadler for sheriff, Mr. Hoge for treasurer, Mr. Langheldt for county clerk, Mr. Merriam for clerk of court, Mr. Houston for assessor, Mr. Christensen and Mr. Reid for commissioners, Mr. Schilling for surveyor, Mrs. Knight for superintendent of schools, Dr. McCollum for coroner, Judge Hynds for justice of the peace and the various candidates for justice of the peace and constable in the rural precincts were nominated by acclamation

In the contest for constable of Laramie precinct there were two candidates--A. J. Jones, the present incumbent, and Samuel Wallace, only the delegates from Laramie precinct casting votes in the ballot order by the chairman. The result follows, Mr. Wallace being declared the nominee:

Wallace 17

Jones 12

The delegates from the three city wards of Laramie then resolved themselves into a convention for the purpose of nominating candidates for mayor and councilmen, with the following results

Mayor--C. D. Spalding.

Councilman First ward--J. H. Jackson.

Councilmen Second Ward, long term--Ole Thompson; short term, I. W. Emmons
