REYNOLDS FOR SHERIFF.
 The Big Contest at the Democratic
 Primaries Last Night Large
 Vote POIled-The Features of the l
 Contest-The Delegates Elected to l
 the Conventions.
 The Democratic primaries were held last l evening at which delegates were chosen to | the various sconventions-State, congression- | al, senatorial, county and probate. Town l Agent Reynolds appears to have nearly a walk over in New Haven ss regards the shrievalty contest. Tomlinson's adherents put in some hard work, but New Haven is MT. Reynolds stronghold and his friends have very sanguine hopes that he will get | the nomination. The fight in the primaries was over local candidates chiefly, the guber- material question and in fact all other ques- tions concerned being yet in the background. Ex-Alderman J. J. Kennedy, in the Fourth and in the custom house service, was active in forwarding the interests of the young mems ticket This ticket represented the interest opposed to Reynolds, but it's adher- ents declared that they were unpledged to any candidate. Here the Reynolds ticket had the strong help of Major Keefe and Captain Clancy. In the Sixth there was a hot fight by the Tomlinson men, and they assert with good grounds that they have car ried the ward, to which the Reynolds men say doubted" The latteIs interest and others who seldom ''get left" in politics in their ward, while the opposi- tion, according to reports, was headed by Patrick Maher, the saloon keeper, an active and spry worker, Patrick Higgins, Dennis McCuen and others of ward politics activity. In the Seventh ward the Reynolds ticket was defeated and the Tomlinson elected. This was MT. Reynolds own ward. The "young mems ticket" was the ticket elected over the Reynolds or "old mems ticket" On this ward is not positive loss to Key fight of cliques and factions over side issues. A similar state of affairs was alleged to exist in the Fifth, but late in the l evening this ward was yielded up to Rey- holds. By the way, Councilman Sullivan of l the Seventh wishes it distinctly understood l that he is not candidate for alderman. He | did not say that he would not accept nom- l ination to the Council. In the Eighth ward 1 the Geary and anti -Geary factions had it hot l and heavy, resulting, according to claimants, | in the success of the latter. There were two I tickets in the field, one headed Regular l Democratic" which was the workingmen's l ticket, the other being the regular one. The l former was successful. Both the tickets |
 
 low.
 In this ward the regular Democratic ticket 1 was elected by eighty-seven out of ninety | four votes, this ticket being the Reynolds | ticket. George R. Cooley issued ticket | known as the Cooley ticket, which received | seventeen votes and favored Tomlinson for | sheriff. The successful ticket is as follows: l

 In the Second ward very light poll was made. The successful ticket with J. D. | Plunkett leading the State delegation and l James F. Brannagan the county delegation received majority of 20 votes. E. G. Stod- dard the leading delegate for probate and Judge Samuel L. Bronson on the con- gressional. Great dissatisfaction existed among many residents of the Second ward over the way the primary was managed. It is claimed that there really was no caucus held and that the affair was engineered | through by three men, one of whom is in the government employ. It was considered by many last night that the ticket elected favors James Reynolds for sheriff. There was a total of 155 votes boiled. The successful ticket is as follows:
