Things were lively IN the Republican
camp last night. Anday the clans were
marshalling their forces. The fight was
ou the surface, at least, narrowed down
to Hubbard and Pillsbury, and the stake
played for wasthe delegation to be chosen
at the primary meetings for the county
county convention, at 10 a. IN. Monday
Mr.. McGilps friends made no separate
fight for him, but pooled their issues
with the Pillsbury crowd. The
custom house and capitol Re-
publ1cans were as lively as feas, and Capt.
Castle and the so-cslled young Republi-
cans were correspondlngly active. Both
sides were willing to enjoy Democratic
participation, provided it was ON their
side, and both were indignant at the idea
of Democratic mAgling, provided it
was on the other side. There were nu-
merous reports of the lavish use of mon
ey on both sides, which were probably
somewhat exaggerated, but there was no
lack of soap ia lubricate the boys. The
high moral party was on its muscle, and
ready to resort to anything necessary to
win.
The Pillsbury crowd evidently de ter
mined to know whether the engagements
they had made were kept and they ac-
cOrdingly issued blue tickets for each
ward, headed "John S. Pillsbury-Peo
piles choice for governor"
The Hubbard tickets where on white
paper with heavy black ward headings
for Identification The organizations
were generally amicably made, though
both factions were on the alert to secure
the Judges of election. Republican
primaries in ST. Paul are generally rather
slimly attended, but p. m. found some
of the faithful on deck at
each poll, and the votes cast
show an unusually large attendance, The
Democrats mixed in quite freely, which
was not creditable to them, and, as rule,
their votes were cast for the PillsbSry
tickets. Of the actual Republican votes
cast there is little doubt the Hubbard
tlcke is had the numerical majority
but Gov. Pillsbury is locally popular
among the st. Paul Democrats, and they
accordingly gave him a lift at the Re-
publican primaries where their votes are
mere serviceable than at the actual elec-
tlon.
The result as near as the GLOBE can
figure it was follows:
PILLsBURY.
First ward ....S Fourth ward 800. 2
Second ward .. Sixth ward. ...... 3
Third ward ...7 Total ..26
HUBBARD.
Fourth ward ... 9 County (probably).. 9
Fifth ward ..10 Total. ....... ...2S
The McGlll votes being consolidated
witlfthe PIllsbury cannot be identified,
but the Hubbard men claim that the 26
votes should be divided, IA for Pillsbury
to u for McGill We believe the vote
is correctly given above as standing %
for Hubbard and 26 for Pillsbury and
McGill combined, provided the delegates
could be suddenly brought together this
morning without any caucusing. How
the convention may prove to stand
at 10 O'Clock tomorrow is altogether
another matter. Sunday is great day
for missionary work, and where county
convention, with important results,
hinges on the change of zone or two votes,
it is well to bear in mind that "white man
is mighty uncertain especially IN the
face of such persuasive arguments as are
familiar to the star route Republican. The
Pioneer Press this morning will
claim Pillsbury victory, and an effort
will certainly be made to carry the claim
into effect. 1t is practically drawn
game with the issue still in doubt and
the largest Greenback likely to rake in
the persimmons.
