REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
 And City COnventfOns-Ward Om- cers Nominated In Some Cases-The Talk About Mayor.
 The Republicans in all the wards but the | Third, Thirteenth and Fourteenth held their primaries last evening In some of the wards | the committee to nominate ward officers were | elected and in others the ward officers were | elected, while in others this matter was laid l over for future consideration. All the pri- maries were well attended and there was much enthusiasm manifested. The general feeling among the delegates seemed to be that Frank D. Sloat would be the nominee for Mayor, although the name of Thomas R. Trowbridge, jr., was frequently mentioned with favor as a strong candidate. The opinion l seemed to be that if either of these gentle men should be nominated the selection would be wise one and that either would give the Democrats lively work to defeat him. l While the Democrats are divided the Repub- 1 Iicans will be united on their candidate and by such union they will show their strength. l The delegates elected last evening are as l follows
