RADICAL PRIMARIES.
PREPARATION OF NEW VICTIMS
To a Democratic Victory in October
Selection Of Republican Can
didates for the Various
County Offices.

Comparatively few persons, beyond
those directly or indirectly interested
and their immediate friends, knew there
was to be a primary election, on satnr'
day, for the choice Of places on the he
publican county ticket. But the Young
came of between I and 8 o'clock IN the
evening, and q full fledged ticket was
horn. No excitement and but little OF
even interest was apparent, the whoie
proceeding being as quiet as q saooath
school after the Christmas holidays.
There was perhaps one exception, which
was CLAW district. From some cause or
another Justice Bill Philips has MADE
some enemies personally or
through his handling OF the judicial
scales, depOnent saye,h not--and tney
made a determined effort to secure ms
scalp. A crowd OF the opposition was
kent standing about the poles, working
tine voters after the most approved
methods. OF course the Squire found
this out and he brought the colored
bro,her TO the rescue by his cry oil
Come over into Macedonia and hel p
MS" The result, as will be seen below,
Was complete rout, horse, loot ana
Dragons, of the opposition, leaving
squire Bill master OF the held and head
OF the ticket.
There was another peculiar circum..
stance connected with Clay district ana
one man nominated who should certain.
ly he elected. Bill Laughlin, as seen
below. scoopei the nomination for con-
stable He was already nominated by
the Democrats and he confidently antlc'
mats a similar favor at the hands OF the
;rra,backers. II everybody votes ior
him. ne might reasonably be expected
to 60 through.
The returns from the country districts
have not vet been received. The result
in the seven city districts is as follows;
