FOR SMITH and O'BRlEN.
The Alleged Preferences for District
Delegates, of To-Day's Convention,
JUDGED FROM PRIMARIES.
The Caucuses in DetaiI---Little Bits
of Politics From City and
County.

Several friends of DR.. Ames were in
st. Paul yesterday looking after last
nights caucuses, which elected dele
gates to the county convention of to-day.
Mr.. Doran said that he was making no
attempt to secure the delegation.
There was very little excitement over
the caucuses, except in the Fourth
ward, where bitter local fight was
made on Pat Egan. The general feel.
ing seemed to be that the delegation to
the state convention would go there I'M
pledged to either Doran or Ames, but
solid for r. A. Smith and c. ID. O'Brien
for delegateships to st. Louis. 2. T.
Kayanagh announces that he is making
no effort to be delegate 10 the national
convention.
Some of the delegates elected last
night are known to have no love for
Hon. p. II. Kelly, and there was more
or less to be heard on the streets last
night to the effect that to-day'S conven-
ton would be strongly anti-Kelly, what
ever that may mean in a convention of
this kind. Ii. II. Fuller and r. I.
O'Connor head the delegations from the
Third and Second wards respectively,
and their sentiments are pretty well
known. From the Sixth ward two sets
of delegates will be reported to-day.
The friends of the ticket headed by j.
Mccarthy claim that they were not
treated fairly at the caucus. They
refused to accept ballots bearing
j. E. Brady's name, and they
were disposed to dispute the count.
They were rather vigorous in their talk
last night and said they would insist on
a hearing before the convention to-day:
The convention will be called to order
at 10 o'clock in Market hall. Below will
be found the reports from last nights
