THE REPUBLIC4N CAUCUSES.

List Of Delegates Chosen Last Night Tor
This Evenings Convention-How the
New Plan Operated-Large Turnout IN
Some of the Wards.
While the snow-storm served to keep away
many, especially OF that class Of voters which
seldom attends primaries anu ward coucuses,
the turnout at the precinct Republican meet
ings last night TO select delegates to this
evenings convention in Blsck's Opera House
to nominate city ticket, was large, in most
cases, and it may be said. without dangerous
stretch of the imagination, representative.
With all the care and pains the executive
committee were at to furnish full Instructions
as to the modus operandi OF chosing delegates
under the new and very original plan adopted
there was more or less misu understanding of
the rules and delay on that score in getting
down to business after the meetings were
once organized In some of the precincts it
was found that TO follow cut instructions as
to choosing the committee OF ten, would run
the caucus well toward morning. The rules
were accordingly suspended and committee
were proposed and presented in order. In
others the rule was followed out. Precinct
B, Third ward, was one of these and it was
nearly ten o'clock before the tenth commit
temen was elected, several names, OF as good
Republicans as there are in the precinct, be-
ing rejected Tor the Ielson the owners were
not the sort of Republicans wanted. The
committee, after an hours delib-
Grafton in room by IL
self, presented a list of ready-msde
delegates 10 the meeting and was sent back
to have the work done as ptr rule, the 3S
names 5eing placed in two hats and nineteen
drawn in presence of the open caucus. There
were no special incidents worthy OF detail
here, taking the city generally, and there was
good humor through all the proceedings.
Today, as was to have been expected, there is
a diversity of opinion as 10 the practical value
and success of the new plan of delegate choos-
ing, and the caucuses and tonight's real bus
iness in convention, are leading topics OF con-
versa.ion. Almost any body yoI meet has
prediction TO make as to the ticket as finally
msde I'D. The convention, 10 nominate
ticket for Springfield township, made up of
delegates from the wards aud precincts and
the township at large, will meet at
seven o'clock sharp, in Blacks Opera House
and is given half an hour to perform its
work. The city convention will be called to
order as nearly as possible at 7:3O O'Clock.
The time of adjournment is a matter about
which every man has his individual opinion.
Delegates are desired to be prompt that busi-
ness may be begun early. Positions have
been designated in the usual manner in the
parauette and dress circle of the opera house
for the different delegations.
