SACRAMENTO, June 10th.-The Re
publican primary election to-day was
held under Porter's law and, with one
exception, passed off quietly. All
tickets elected had Newton Bootn ior
Governor at the head. In the Fist
Ward there was a unanimous vote. In
the Second Ward a determined opposi-
tion was manifested, but 1t did not ex-
tend to Governor the regular tlcket
prevailed by 100 majority out OF 34l
votes polled. The opposition tlcket
was In the interest OF candidates LOT
Sheriff and other officers. In the Third
Ward all but seven votes were for the
regular tielset.o The Ward is unani-
NOUS for Booth. In the Fourth Ward
ftorshE OF THE DAY
Occurred, which resulted fatally In n
case and the loss Of a finger Of another
man who participated In the fray.
Shortly after the polls opened at three
O'Clock this afternoon, some voters
about the polls thought they perceived
unfair dealing on the part Of the In
spector of Election appointed by the
County Committee. That officer had
chosen both clerks Of election from his
own friends and friendly to the opposi-
ton Of the nominees of the party, at a
caucus held Friday night. In spite of
protestations, Objectionable conduct
continued to be practiced by those in
side the rail, when a demand was made
that an impartial member of the party
should be appointed for the purpose of
keeping tally. This reasonable de-
mand was denied, and the voters Of the
Ward determined to use force to obtain
what they deemed their rights. Subsi-
died parties endeavored to prevent
this, when q serious row occurred
pistols and knives were drawn and
tiourished, but of the former, happily,
none were used In the usual way.
A BLOODY Row-FATAL RESULT.
Ned o. Hall had his finger in some
body's mouth, and it was bitten off Mt
the middle joint or severed by a blow
from a knife, he Is not sure which.
John Carroll, who drives q hack In
company with one Mcmahon, alias
"Bonebreaker," mingled in the dis
turbance, drew asix-shooter, and made
bold assaults upon inotfensive men.
Finally his weapon was taken from
him, used upon his face and head, both
laws were broken. and he was other
wise so severely injured that at 10
o'clock p. ~. he died from the effects OF
his injuries g'nDt .s"ols
aHd THE POLLS MOVED
The Inspector, with his clerks,
opened n polling-place three blocks
away, and continued to receive ballots
until the prescribed hour for closing
the polls. The regular ticket, as nom.
mated by caucus, received 60 votes,
and the opposition one, on which was
the name of the Inspector, ITO. After
the desertion of the legitimate polls by
the Inspector and his clerks, the voters
present, as authorized to do, elected
another Inspector, who appointed other
clerks, and the election proceeded or
derby. Tho regular ticket received 2sO
votes, and. the opposition but few.
There Is not sufficient ground even for
a contest In this matter, and the attempt
to make one will be derisiyely secuted
by the sensible men elected to the
County Convention.
