REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
d. E. Miles Said to BE
Ahead for Mayor.
THE ORC FINOS DEFEATED.
The Regular Caucus Tickets Gener-
ally Successful in the
Several Wards.

Republican caucuses did not, for some
reason, occur at the primaries yesterday
although in nearly all OF the precincts
rival tickets were in the field. Large
crowds gathered around the polling
places in the center OF the city severa
times during the afternoon but beyond
occasional loud talking there was no i'm
portant disturbance. The polling place
of the Fourth Ward had been re-
moved to the corner of Fifth and Wall
streets and there was no repetition OF the
troubles which occurred at the preceding
primary, although the opposing forces
were on the ground. Great Registers
were in use at the polls, and no one was
allowed to vote whose nam could not be
found therein.
There were two tickets in the First
ward, but the regular caucus ticket car
ried the day. The opposition or the Miles
ticket in the Fifth ward was successful
to the surprise of the caucus ticket ad-
herents. Very few Republicans know
exactly how the Convention will stand
on the Mayoralty. The friends of Mr..
d. E. Miles claim that they have large
majority, and those of Mr.. L. E. Mosher
claim that they have more votes than
appears on the surface. Mr.. Miles
friends claim that ninety Of the delegates
are for him. The standing, it was stated,
was rendered uncertain, from the fact
that the fight in some of the precincts
was not so much on the Mayoralty as on
the Councilmen. In the Fourth ward
the Mosher caucus ticket was defeated
I'D g.
Gilman was victorious. In the Third
ward the main fight was over the candi-
dates for Councilmen, j. H. Book and
League ticket carried the day, and it was
believed that Mr.. D. E. Miles had more
friends on the ticket than Mr.. l.. E.
Mosher. 1t was said that there was
great probability of second Republican
Convention being held by the defeated
factions. The Orc Fino Club ticket was
not successful in single instance, and
number were heard to say that they were
in favor of calling convention Of their
own. The Convention will assemble at
Turner Hall tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock.
In the Third Ward quite large crowd
surrounded the polling place at the Wig
wan, from noon until the hour of clos
ing. They we're about three hundred
votes cast in this precinct and of these
240 we're for the regular caucus ticket.
The "Oro Fino" ticket was in the field,
but it got no more support than it did at
the caucus on the preceding night. The
vote yesterday was just about as it was
at the caucus for both tickets.
In the Second Ward matters were very
quiet although large vote was cast.
The Courthouse Precinct pclled nearly
800 votes, and OF these about 200 were
straight caucus tickets. The only oppo-
sition ticket in the field was the pinto"
ticket.
At the precinct on Temple street it was
expected that matters would be lively,
as there had been two caucuses and
each claimed that it was regular. Each
had its ticket in the field and active work
was done on both sides, but the caucus
held on Wednesday night was successful
in carrying it's ticket. Two hundred and
fifty-five ballots were cast in this precinct
and of these the successful ticket OBJ
tanned an average OF 100 votes.
