Tho Primaries.
The Republican primary election of Sat
urlay in Columbia was not marked with
liveliness or anything near thereto, but on
the contrary was as dull and quiet an af-
fair as can well he imagined. There was
little or no excitement and none of the Bit
tcrness Of factional spirit. About G2j votes
were polled. None Of the candidates tor
prominent Offices being from Columbia,
what might have given the thing better
spice was utterly lacking. Next to Judge
Livingston, who had no opponent, Sam
Matt Fridy, polled the heaviest vote and
led the Bull Ring ticket, which indeed,
carried the town except for sheriff where
High ran ahead of Kready sixteen votes
not much Of a majority, it is true, but the
efforts of the Strines and Hippey saved
High from being Overslaugled by several
hundred majority Oh the other side.
L. ID. Gallagher, for coroner, whom
neither Of the rings espouscd, carried the
town and by so doing evcned his chances
with tho best for "next time." Umble,
for register, pOlled three times as many
votes us Wissler, and Eaby for quarter
sessions clerk beat Sctley by IS votes!
Spurrier, for clerk Of orphans court, has
i whistle clean majority, and for prison
keeper George Al. Smith leads off right
royalty. For county commissioners N.Y.
ers and Sunny run away ahead. No Or
ganized effort was made to run in a Bull
Ring county committeeman in the First
ward and the vote for that Office stood !:
Christian Hershey, 100 Ed. B. Eckman,
3. Mr.. Eckman was not i candidate.
