mating convention.
In the Third. Mr.. W. r. Collins appears to
have suited bis constituents we'll, that IL, ludg.
ing from the handsome compliment paid him IN
the vote renomlnAting him.
In the Fourth, the selection Of a candidate for
the House Of Delegates was postponed, but
there was considerable interest manifested 10
the other vote.
In the FiRh district there was quite a spirited
contest
In the Sixth there was no opposition, and Mr..
Murray carried OF the hOnOrs easily.
In the Seventh all was quiet, as we'll as 10 the
Eighth.
In the Ninth the vote was almost unanimous
for the ticket nominated.
In tho Tenth there was some little opposition
early In the day, but Mr.. Matthew TrImblo was
80 seemingly popular that It was soon with.
drawn, aud he was elected as nominee for the
House Of Delegates almost unanimously.
In the Eleventh the same good feeling pre-.
vailed.
In tho Twelfth, carly 10 the morning, Mr.. J.
I. X Plant, whose name was on the ticket, de-
clIned to run, aud substituted the name Of Mr..
N. II. Miller, who, as soon as he heard OF It,
alse declined. This will account for the small
vote received by these gentlemen,
In the Thirteenth the voters acted In almost
perfect concert, and the fact that in the AFTER
noon a new ticket was brought out did not In
terfere In the least with the result,
In the Fourteenth there were two tickets In
the hsld, and considerable interest was mani
tested by the friends Of both parties.
In the Fifteenth there were three candidates
for delegate In the held, the supporters Of each
working hard for success; but, As Is always the
case, only one was elected. There were also
several tickets in this district for delegates to
the nominating convention, but the entire in.
terost conferred In the other contest.
In the Sixteenth all worked together, and
John W. Mcknight was again renomlnAted by
an exceedingly hatterIng vote. The delegate
ticket was also elected almost by the same vote.
In the Seventeenth there was no election for
the House Of Delegates, and the utmost har.
mony prevailed.
In the Eighteenth, the quIetest Of all districts,
everything passed OF smoothly, and the regular
ticket was without trouble SECURED.
In the Nineteenth Major NJ. L. UTell was,
without trouble, selected as the nominee for the
House Of DelegAteS and the regular delegate
ticket shared the sans fate. In thIs district
several parties we'll known as members Of the
Greeley and Brown CLUB applied to the judges,
but were refused permission to vote.
In the Twentieth district all went merry as
q marriage bell, Honest Joe Carroll being re-
nominated. In justice to Mr.. BAssOlt Il should
be stated that he had early In the day declined
positively to allow his name to be used.
In the Twenty. hrst Fred Fritz also de-
ellned early in the day, and the contest was be-
tween u. NJ. Barton and s. W. Herbert, with
thsSesult as given below.
10 the Twenty second district tho contest was
lively, tho candidates for House OF Delegates
nj m
the latter receiving the popular approval.
As will be seen by tho returns In many Of the
districts there were a number Of candidates for
the nominating convention. This was but tho
choice Of personal friends to honor tho nominees
with their votes, and the contest simply resolved
itself In a fight as 70 who should have the honor
OF aiding in nominating General ChIpmSn-R
most cOmmendablo rivalry.
the CONVENTION,
Following the programme marked out, the
/ convention will be held today at Lincoln hall,
commencing at II o'clock and Judging from ali
the Appearances Of yesterday will DO one Of the
most harmonious ever held by tho Republican
party IN this city.
| A chat with the candidates, both before and
after the primary election, led one to tho
belief that the hTst ballot for Delegate would DO
an Informal one. This step was not taken as
inImIclI In the least to General Chapman, bat
rather as a means on the part Of delegates Of
paying a compliment TO certain personal and
political friends, a measure In perfect accord
with the past practice Of the party. Amer the
Informal ballot Is over, the roll will be called
and each delegate will give In response hearty
vote for Chapman, thus making bis nOmina-
/ tIOn unanimous.
