DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
a Moderately Lively Contest Last Night

Court House at ~ \. NJ. to day. Inc cOntest
was almost entirely confined to the county
attorneyship, there being three candidates in
the field, viz: J. j. Egan, @. D.
O'Brien and G. NJ. Mccarthy. In all
except the Fourth ward the voting
wss done at single precinct. The steady and
at times quite heavy rain, which prevailed,
had a tendency to deter voting. The con-
test, too, was much less vigorous than
seemed probable day or two since, and a
large majority of the delegates chosen are
for Mr.. Egan. In fact, the contest seemed
to 81 largely by default. The following is
the result in detail:
FIRST WARD.
There were two tickets in the field in this
ward, one representing Egan and the other
MCCARTHY. When the ballots were counted
it was found that there were seven more than
the registry list called for.
The following was the vote cast, the Egan
ticket being declared elected:
Egan Delcgates-John Dowlan Ehle Allen,
john Ryan, G. Kissner. Chas. @. Wilson, B.
Linstad--133.
Mccarthy Deegates-Ansel Oppenheim, DR..
A. j. Stone, David Burke, D. G. Coley, John @.
SECOND WARD.
At the Second ward polling place there was
q little ex element, but it was all of the good
natured sort. There was plenty of bandi-
mage between the ticket-peddlers, but no ILL
feeling was engendered. The E3an ticket
received total of 296 votes, aud the Nc
Carthy ticket bat 39. Following are the
delegates elected, pledged to vote for Mr..
Egau for county attorney: g.. H.
Jno. Bell, Jno F. Mcintosh. Jno OConnor,
f. r p;etch, syl sulzbaoh, Jos. Files, Jno.
Ahern. 60
The defeated ticket was composed of the
following gentlemen:
John Bell, Joseph Oppenheim, John Lunken-
heimer. james Kennedy, Frank LeClaire, James
McPartrn, James Mccarthy.
THIRD WARD.
Three tickets were in the field in this
ward. There was no excitement, although
f,r time the votes cana is quito lively.
The Egan ticket received 1872 votes, the
O'Brien ticket 60 votes, aud the MCCARTHY
ticket 20 votes. The following compose the
successful Egan delegates:
Oscar Stephenson, Joseph Hardy, Mic. Pott-
gieser, Jr., P. J. Dreis, Mat. Breen, Ed. II.
Schliek, Hubert II. Miller.

votes. were: Joseph Hardy, Richard German,
Edmund r. Holliushead, Charles E. Otis.
The Mccarthy candidates were: Oscar Ste
phensyn, Joseph Hardy, J. Pottgieser, 81. 81.
Miller, Frank Erren, p. Donohue, P. J. Dreis.
FOURTH WARD.
First Precinct-An organization was ef
fected hero by electing T. R. Huddleston and
P. II. Smith, judges. A cigar box was OBJ
tanned, the mucilage on the edges we'll licked,
the top shut down and fastened, MCKEE
sized hole cut in the top, and the judges
were ready for business. Voting began
at 5 O'Clock and continued with undated
zeal until o'clock sharp, when the polls
were closed.
In all $40 votes were cast, or thereabouts.
The fight seemed concentrated for and upon
delegate candidates favoring @. D. O'Brien
or J. J. Eyan for county attorney. To be
sure, it was claimed that the Egan delegates
were indtferently for Egan or Huddleston,the
combination being that whichever of these
two went into the convention with the
greatest number of delegates pledged to him,
the First precinct delegates would go for
two tickets as follows:
THE o BRlEN TICKET.
Chris. Stahlmann. 81; John D. O'Brien, 50:
Jos. Haag, Sc; John Horesh, IS; Charles Ring
valid, So; VIM. L. Banning, S.
THE EaAN TICKET.
John Grace. 265: J. Schaefer, $50; p. Egau,
265; Charles Ringwald, 264; Joseph Horeish,
26l; Barney Ryan, 263.
Charles Ringwald was on both tickets and
received an aggregate of 319 votes.
y,,4 ,ol nv a. ILL.,
elected, aud certificates were made out &C.
cordingly.
There was little or no interest manifest in
O'Bren's behalf, while the other ticket had
John Grace, Shaefer, Martin Delaney
alcng. John Brown was outspoken
and urgent in O'Brien's interest, seconded
hy Tom O'Bren, a young brother of G. D.
O'Brien, who was learning the mystery of
politics at his first caucus. The Egan in
terost employed carriage and the St. Paul
house omnibus to bring up voters and some
halt dozen loads contributed largely to the
success attending the Egan ticket. On the
whole, however, the election was tame.
SECOND AND THIRD PRECINCTS.
Not much interest was evinced here. The
total number of votes cast was 120, and the
O'Brien delegates we're elected by vote of
6S votes to 50 for the Egau ticket, as follows:
G. W. Grisgs, B. Michel, Patrick OBrien, G..
II. Manship.
FIFTH WARD.
The contest in the Fifth ward was quietly
conducted and passed off without notable in
attorneyship, for which there were three
tickets, viz: O'Brein, Mccarthy and Eagan.
The voting was largely in favor of the Eagan
delegates, the fact being that the Mccarthy
ticket was not personally represented to any
great extent, while the O'Brien ticket receiv-
ed a material drawback, owing to the i'm
preston that it had been withdrawn.
The vote resulted in the election of the
following delegates, representing the J. j.
Eagan ticket:
JAS Smith, Jr.. p. Il. Kelly, Bertram Scheffer,
Daniel Desmond, John Murphy and Michael
Schmiddliug.
The vote was as follows: Whole number
G. M. MCCARTHY delegates, 81; G. D.O'Brien
delegates, g..
The defeated tickets were as follows:
Mccarthy ticket, 81 votes: Ed. Rice, Jr., DR.
J. p. Horst, Cornelius Casey B. P. M cTeapue
=. Brown, u. f. Mccarthy.
O'Brien, mixed ticket 8 votes: p. H. Kel
]y, VIM. Richeson, Bertram Scheffer, Edmund
Rice, Jr., Thos. Brennan, 8. V. Hanft.
SIXTH WARD.
There are two sets of delegates from thil
ward who may present credentials to tn
convention to-day and get up a contest. A
the time delegates were elected to the count,
