 men-Tne Delegates Chosen Lasl
 Night.
 Following is the result of the Republican l ward primaries held last evening: l SECOND WARD. The Republicans of the Second ward had a very animated primary last night and there was an unusually large attendance. The meeting was in Ostman's building on Park street. After all there was but little ts struggle over and the fight came over the I election of Charles s. Hamilton for one of ! the councilmen. It was said by somebody that Mir. Hamilton had used his influence l against the State ticket. This point was earnestly and spiritsdly debated, but finally Mr. Hamilton was chosen, largely on &C., l count of his influence in his own part of the ward, which has been without e representa- tive in the city government for many years. The meeting was called to order sharply at 7:SO o'clock and B. P. Cowles was chosen chairman and W. N. Emmerioh secretary. The greatest and most 1aborious task of the officers was to provide ballots for the differ ent votes taken. The following delegates were chosen.
 Town convention, John Leonard, G. T. Bradley, D. 4. Blakeslee, R. E. Baldwin, B. E. Esa and E. A. Prince; city convention, James Bishop, J. A. Howarth, Mr. Bliss, w. N. Parsons, R. 0. Loveridge, 8. B. Oviatt. The result WAS reached only after repeated ballots had been taken. When the question of an alderman was taken up there was an earnest call for the name of Alderman Dickerman, and he was nominated by MT. Blakeslee. ,Jn6Qa Piokatt hOWAYar RrOae and aQid that much as he desired MT. Dickerman to stand he had been unable to secure from him anything but persistent refusals to stand for another term of service.
 There WAS good deal of discussion about forcing nomination on MT. Dickerhan, but better counsel prevailed and the name of Councilman Burton was then offered and he was nominated.
 The choice of councilman was made rather difficult after J. w. Lowe had been renomi- mated by unanimous consent by the peremp- tory withdrawal of Councilmen Woods and Clark. All arguments and appeals were in vain to MT. Woods and then about @ dozen names were mentioned to fill the place.
 Judge Pickett proposed the name of Chas. s. Hamilton, saying that he represented portion of the town very anxious to be rec ognized and commended the man for the earnest, hearty and active part which he took in the recent State and national cam paign.
 It was at this point that the greatest feel ing of the caucus was displayed and several personal tilts were in order.
 Councilman Woods openly charged MT. Hamilton with working for Morris against Bulkeley.
 In retaliation Mir. Hamilton recalled the fact that MT. Woods was elected by only six majority and he owed those six votes to his (Hamilton's) efforts.
 Mr. Woods retorted that he was reliably informed that there were but two pastors among his ballots cast.
 After a good deal of balIoting R. o. Lover idge was chosen as second councilman and after some more speaking and bslloting Mr. Hamilton was chosen.

 TENTH WARD.
 The Tenth ward meeting was largely at- tended. The greatest harmony prevailed but some hard and vigorous work was done during the three hours the caucus lasted. As usual tue selection of councilmen took up the greater part of the time and it looked for time as though there would be dead lock.
  and on account of the large crowd the cheek list was used in the several ballots for that important office.
 Charles A. Baldwin was the chairman and s. F. Punderson secretary. The delegates to the conventions were chosen by a committee and adopted by the caucus, and were as fol- lows: City, Charles A. Baldwin, J. P. Studlsy, E. s. Platt, Charles W. Palmer, J. F. Gaffney, J. A. Richardson, Juliss Twiss, Major T. A. Todd; town, Carlos Smith, Major W. A. Lincoln, P. H. Macdonald, H. o. Beach, R. J. Bunce, o. L French, H. E. Ben
 Hugh Daley presented for the nomina- ton for alderman the name of William A. Lincoln. Other names offered were L. H. Johnson, ". E. Chat6eld, 0. c. Ford.
 It took three ballots to decide the result when M. Lincoln was nominated, having 115 votes out of total of 212 while his opponent Mir. Johnson had 97.
 It took six ballots to decide the questions of candidates for councilman and much time was consumed in voting and counting the ballot.
 J. A. Richardson was the first one nomi. hated, but not until J. F. Gaffey and c. B. Dyer, each of whom had a small but persist ent following, had withdrawn in his favor on the fifth ballot.
 J. F. Gaffey was elected next, Mir. Johnson having withdrawn after having come within half dozen votes of nomination several times.
 The final contest was between H. D. Mum son and 0. B. Dyer and the latter was the successful one.
 Mir. Baldwin made very happy presiding office, and at the close he was rendered with the hard working tellers 8 vote of thanks with the privilege from Mir. Dailey of paying the bill of the hall and for the gas used.
