SEvENTH WARD PRIMARY ELEcTIoN.-The
primary election by the Reform Republican
party OF the Seventh WaVd YVES held Yesterday
Afternoon at the corner OF Gth and ID streets
.outh There was quite number OF candidates
the following, the vote being: For Aldermen -
l.. g. Hine, 7S1 votes; H. NJ. knight, 1875. For
Council-Wm. r. Hunt, 476 votes; j. c. HcCon.
nell, so; Jno. q: Reisnger, 293; John W. Green,
Peter Hepburn ec2.
In order to ensure that there should be
colored candidate on the ticket it was srranged
list of Councilmen should be a c,lofed man, the
lowest on the white list should be dropped and
the colored man receiving the highest number
OF votes should be placed on the selected ticket
in his stead. In this case therefore John w.
Green, colored, will be placed On the list. In
other wards some similar course viii, it is un.
derstood, be adoptedto secure the nomination of
fair proper ion of color ed men.
In the Seventh Ward there will from appear
anccs be three ward tickets, the Boswell, a
Ward Republican, Club ticket, the Reform
Republican Club ticket, and the Bowen ticket
The division in regard 10 ward officers between
the Bowel men and the Reform Republicans
will be nominal rather than real, as there
Will doubtless be a friendly terchange of votes
for the best men on the two tickets.
