Not Much of a Contest After AIl-List of
the Delegates-Bnsil armstrong Not a
Candidate for Treasurer.
The Democratic primary meetings were
held last night from to 7 p. m. For sever
al weeks there has been great contest GO
ing on Tin the Republican papers)
among the Democrats, but when the
primaries were held all was serene.
There was 10 excitement, and only q
moderate vote in most of the precincts
was poIled. In most of the precincts the
tickets were substantially alike, though
there were Dreis and Lienau tickets in all
the wards except the Sixth. The contest,
as far as there was one, was for the nonli-
nation of register of deeds, @. h. Lienau.
the present incumbent, and Joseph Dreis
being the candidates. The
second and third precincts of the
Fourth ward was the only place where
Lienau suffered defeat. He accordingly
has pretty clean sweep.
For treasurer, W. E. Burton, the present
incumbent, and Basil W. Armstrong were
candidates, but Mr.. Armstrong having
Withdrawn there was no contest at the
primaries. 1t is now understood that
John X. Davidson has entered the lists as
a candidate, aud will contest with MIR.
Burton for the nomination at the conven-
ton to-day. Mr.. Davidson was the
nominee two years ago and made strong
run against the Republican nominee, FL.
NJ. Rice, being defeated only by small
majority, though his opponent is one OF
the strongest men in the county. MIR.
Burton supported Mr.. Rice and was his
deputy, and when Mr.. Rice resigned he
was elected by the county commissioners.
The following is Mr.. Armstrong; with
drawal:
