Vote and Peaceful Proeesdings-
 The Result in Tombstone, Charles
 ton. Contention. Benson, Etc.
 The Democratic primaries Saturday were conducted in an orderly spirit, and notwithstanding the clashins of conflict ing interests, the best of good feeling pre- vailed. There was a warm interest taken in the election all over the city, and every man with Democratic antlcedents and pro. clivities was more or less anxious as to the result. There was no heated personal fight made on any one man, though number of old time Democrats were anx- ious to take up the maxim of the EPIrAPH that none but Democrats be placed on guard Of course there were many warm discussions, and the friends of the opposing candidates did good deal of tongue fight ing, still there was nothing that the clear est construction could construe into a quarrel, and when the battle was over, all were friends again. The result in this city cannot be called victory for any ono man. In fact no man can say that he is absolutely certain that any one delegate elected will vote for him in the conven- tion. This is really how the matter stands. The delegates chosen are all good Demo- crats, and will cheerfully vote and support the nominees of the county convention, notwithstanding their personal predi)ec- tions It may fairly be assumed that DO man won q personal victory. Mr Neagle will go inio the convention with one vote secured him in the second ward. Outside ni ias, we do not know that any delegate elected Is pledged to any one man, but all will support straight Democratic candi- dates, and will not go outside the party tor nominee.
 Tho Third ward WAS perhaps the most warmly contested. There were two tickets in the field, each bearing the names of honorable mon and steadfast Democrats. Mir. Archer's name was on both tickets, and of course, as may bs imagined under such cir sum- stsnces, he was rushed through with an immense majority. The socalled Nesgle ticket in this ward was strengthened by having tho name of such thorough Democrat, and universally popular man as Nicholas Ksnealy to float it. It may be understood, however, that Mr. Ksneal- ly is Democrat, first, last and all tho time, and though defeated. the use of his name was tower of strength to the ticket with which he WAS identified. In the Second Ward the contest was very tame, and only very little interest was taken in the proceedings The First Ward waa contested rather vigorously for part of the day, but towards evening interest in the proceedings began to lag and there was no special effert set forth toward the last The delegates chosen are staunch Demo- srats and will support only well defined members of that party for nomination The Fouph Ward twas somewhat compli- cated in consequence of there being two polling places. .One of the clubs was looked upon with suspicion by many, in consequence of the officers of the club hay. ing dramatically sealed the rolls, and re- fused to shed tho light of publication on the pages. The Second ward club was organized in accordance with the suggestion of the County Central Com mittee, and there is hardly doubt but that the best Democrats in the ward affiliated with the new organi zation, The figures gwen below will show the reader that q majority of the voters of the ward exercised their right of suffrage at Number Two.
 Unlike the day on which the Republi- can primaries were held, there were nc unsssmly quarrels; none of ike Democratic leaders were hauled of to jail, and none oi them will be fned to-day. This is con trast that the average voter may call to his mind the next time the Republicans are referred to as the party of moral ideas Below we give the result of the primaries SO far as aseertsinsd
