no ONE HAS MAJORITY.
Five Candidates Succeed in Getting Delegates
Through.
APPROXIMATE VOTE TOMORROW.
THE STRENGTH OF THE CAN
DIDATEs.

The Democratic primaries, yesterday
afternoon and evening, for district ofncers
and delegates to the county convention
which is to assemble tomorrow, to nom
mate candidates for county officers, was
one of the hottest and most interesting po'
litical fights ever waged here. The large
number of candidates for Sheriff, aud thell
great popularity, and the earnestnes' ano
energy they succeeded in infusing into
their respective campaigns, all combined 10
bring out the voters, and tho aggregate
poll was in excess of three thousand. In
several districts over four hundred votes
were polled, ard Webster leads the list
with 1873. The polls were opened in the
several districts at one o'clock in the after,
noon, and were closed promptly at seven
in the evening. At all the city polls, the
crowd between the hours mentioned was
very large, the excitement in several in
stances rivalirg that growing out OF a
general election in a Presidential year.
This excitement was greatest at the Sec
ond and Fourth ward polls, although
their was lively time in Washington dis
trict, and at one or two polls on the South
Side.
The result of the voting is decidedly
mixed, az will be seen by glance at the
returns by districts below. In the early
part of the night, at say ten o'clock,
it seemed that no Sheriffality candidats
would have msi ority of the delegates, or
would be able to command majority OF
the votes to be cast in convention, but
by midnight Mr.. SteenrOd seemed to have
a lead, with Mr.. Egsrter and Mr.. Myles
close behind him, and Stein and Fasnacht
next. This was confirmed by later re-
turus.
The County Executive Committee had
established its headquarters in the read
ing-room of the Howell House, and there
the returns were sent from the several
districts Us fast as the count was COM
pleted. The first box to pat in an ap-
pearance was that from Fulton, where Mr..
Stein had things pretty much his own
way. The brick school house district OF
Richland came next, and then after long
interval, Central distiict put in an
appearance, with total vote of
4O7, and a solid majority of
12O votes for Mr.. Myles. Precinct No. 2
of Rchland came fourth, and with it the
news that Steenrod was solid out there
No further returns were received until
after ii o'clock, when the toll gate pre-
clnct of Triadelphia came in, with total
vote of 162. of which the SteenrOd dele
gates had 130 This precinct was rapidly
followed by precincts Nos. l and 3, of
Liberty district. Madison came at TWEEN
ty minutes of midnight, with $40
votes. Egerter got two delegates here,
and Steenrod one.
At midnight the committee commenced
the work Of opening the boxes and reading
the official returns. They were announced
