THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

4 passed off spiritedly but with general good or
der, in each precinct heard from, and with al
most entirely very satisfactory result. There
Twas very close vote in this city, and still
4 closer in Pioneer City, where only one of the
six Delegates was elected. there being tie
vote ON the remaining FIVE Delegates. The
vote in this precinct was unexpectedly large,
and the utmost strength of either side was, we
believe, exhausted. The excitement rose to
intense height towards the closing of the polls,
and the expectancy from the hour of closing
until the final result was announced equalled
that evnced at the most exciting general elec-
TONS Yet, Notwithstanding all this vigorous
rivalry, this hard-fought contest, and unusual
excitement, there were only one or two very
slight personal clashes during the struggle,
aud not single grave breach of the peace.
After the result was announced the winning
party good-naturedly celebrated their hardly
obtained triumph and the vanquished submit
ted with good grace to the popular verdict,
which had gone against them by a small major
ity, after the most energetically contested and
calamity conducted trial of partisan strength
which had ever been witnessed in this city.
The Primary election is now over, save in
Pioneer where another election will come of
ON Monday to settle the issue left undecided
because of the tic vote on Wednesday. On
Wednesday ensuing the County Convention
will meet at Centerville The Delegates win
be called upon to select Delegates to the Ter
ritorial Convention in Boise City. June 18th,
