The Democratic Primary Election.

The Primary Election for County and Dis
trict Officers, held last Saturday, passed of
quietly, and, as will be seen from the results
given below, quite large vote was polled, in
fact, much larger one than was expected. The
nominees are all good men and qualified to fill
the offices for which they have been chosen, as
also were many of the defeated candidates
Augusta county has right to feel proud thai
she has SO many men in her borders qualified
to fill her offices, and does not have to GO out
side of the Democratic party to find them. The
contest was friendly one within our own
party, and now that the result has been ascer.
tanned, it is the duty of all good Democrats
laying aside all private feelings and prejudices
to vote and work for the candidates Of their
party, nominated at the primary election. 1t
Will not do to rely upon the fact of the nomina-
tons as equivalent to an election on the oath OF
May. The Republicans are the watch, and
will avail themselves Of any detection in the
Democratic ranks to slip in a man of their
choice Detection from the Democratic ranks is
the only hope the Republicans. and from now
to the day of the general election you will hear
the primary election. held by the people of the
county, denounced as a ''ring," and every
change that is rung upon it will be for the pur.
pose of beguiling the Democrats into the close
F., Il
publican party.
We give below the result of the primary cleo.
ton so far as the returns have been sent in.
There are no returns from Riverheads district
and several precincts in other districts have not
yet come in, but they will not make any ma
terial change in the result.
The names of the nominees are marked with
an $.
