Tby Repub1icn,, Primaries

VentiOn it adjourned.
The Republican Primaries.
Politics seem to be the regular order Of the
day. Last night there was another round of
primary meetings, the occasion being the
preparation of the Republicans for their city
interest taken in the affair, and in several
precincts no meetings were held at all, but
delegates will undoubtedly come up smiling
tomorrow from all quarters.
THE RUNNER FIRST.
| In the first precinct of the First ward the
bummers took possession of the polls as they
did on the occasion of the Democratic prima-
ries. The bummers seem to have organized a
third party in that precinct to run all
caucuses. They took possession of the
engine house and opened the polls fifteen
minutes before the time fixed in the call
The two tickets were as follows:
RUNNER TICKET. REPUBLICAN TICKET.
F. A. Kennard, Geo r. Finch,
| G. F. Ernest, Gen. j. B. Sanborn,
| f. Cornstad. P. A. Lanberg.
The bummers had all the judges, and they
surrounded the window so that if any one
wished to vote the other ticket it was difficult
to do so, and even if voter handed in a
Republican ticket, the chances were that a
hummer ticket would be substituted. One
man stepped up to the window
and proposed to check off the
names of voters as they came up, where
upon notorious rough grabbed him by the
neck and threw him into the street. The
anomaly of this motley, drunken, hummer
crew was that they declared they were in
favor of Sam Morrison as high license can
didate for alderman, land opposed the Repub-
lican ticket because they said twas favorable
to Col. Allen. Their theory was that with a
high license candidate in opposition to their
imported Iowa saloon keeper, they could have
a soft snap and walk away with the election.
| The mob surged about in an indecent man
ner as they did Thursday night and it soon
became apparent to the decent Republicans
that there was no show for them in such a
crowd, and they abandoned the field as Col
Allen did when the bummers captured the
Democratic primary. 1t was the same bum
mer gang who ran both primaries. The ab-
| surdity of returns under such circumstances
is apparent but the bum mers announced
457 votes for their ticket and 113 for The Re-
publican ticket.
In the Second precinct Hon. e. P. Wade
| (colored) came up to the front again smiling.
The Hon. E. P. generally gets there when he
starts out, and he got there this time without
opposition. The following ticket had 113
votes:
School Inspector-J. NJ. Minor.
Delegates-Theo. Sander, E. P. Wade,
Timothy Reardon, W. S. Wilson.
SECOND WARD.
In the Second ward at the First precinct
the war cry was ''down Donnelly." They
said they were for Wampler for school in
spector. The delegate ticket was composed
of darkey rough named Tom jefferson,
who keeps a saloon and INDUCES in prize
fights, and printer named Burns, who be-
longs to no party but usually votes the Dem
ocratic ticket. These distinguished citizens
were selected without opposition as repre-
sentatives of the ''grand old party" and
they will nominate the ward ticket to-mor-
row.
In the Second precinct Of this ward there
was not sufficient head of steam to hold a
meeting.

In the first precinct of the Third ward there
was little interest and two tickets in the
field, The following ticket was engineered
