Fusion Victory at Brown County Democratic Convention
The Springfield county convention on Saturday produced a harmonious fusion ticket between Democrats and Populists in Brown County. Delegates from New Ulm Springfield Sleepy Eye and other towns attended as committees set nominations for sheriff, county attorney, treasurer and more. After a conference failed to unite the parties, the ticket was divided with Populists receiving sheriff, school superintendent, surveyor and county attorney, and Democrats controlling representative, treasurer, and probate judge, with other offices allocated by convention. The lead nominees include A C Ochs for representative and E P Bertrand for Sleepy Eye, among others, with a strong tone of competence and integrity throughout.
