THE REPUBLICANS.
Several Ward Caucuses Held
Last Night.
ALL OF THE TICKETS SELECTED.

Which Faction is on Top?-Who VIII
be the Next Sheriff?-Incidents
at the Meetings.
Last night was rather an exciting one
for the Republicans, since the caucuses
for the selection of delegates to be voted
for to-day at the primaries were held.
There were several candidates for NOM
ination who thought their chances would
be better for success if they could select
the tickets to be put in the field by the
caucuses, and these gentlemen with
their aids were out working hard from
seven O'Clock last night until The last vote
had been cast. 1t was generally conced-
ed, however, that those whose tickets
were defeated last night would not give
up. and as result it is certain that the
tickets in the field to-day will be quite
numerous and the counting upon the
close of the polls laborious. Nothing of
particular note took place in the First
Ward, except that the fight seemed to
be over the selection of those who would
vote for some particular man for
Sheriff. The chair was filed by
Mr.. Oscar Macy, and the fol-
lowing were placed in nomination:
seventeen from the East Side and twenty
from the West-East Side Messrs. WAL

The caucus in the Second Ward which
was held in Judge Cheney's Courtroom,
was an exciting affair, two tickets being
in the field. G. E. Da iley was in the
chair.
After the nomination of delegates, the
ballots were taken up in the Courtroom
waste basket. AS this was passed
around the ballots poured in from all
sides, some putting several in at once.
1t finally reached one man who dumped
a hat full of ballots on top of the already
well-filled basket. This was more than
the opposition could stand and a new
vote was taken, at which one hundred
and eighty-eight ballots was collected.
The following were the delegates
selected G. E. Day, G. R. Flint,
F. A. Gibson, M. A. Hambur-
ger, H. Johnson, R. Livingston,
Chas. Mcfarland, G. P. McLain,

Most of the names on the Merchants
Anti-Boss ticket were showed under. The
fight in this ward was principally be-
tween the forces of Martin Aguirre and
j. M. Meredith, both candidates for
nomination for Sheriff, and at one time
a personal encounter seemed imminent.
The Irish-American Republican candi-
dates met with cold reception in this
ward, but they received more recognition
in the Third.
The selections in the Third Ward
were as follows: General j r. Mansfield,
Ralph Hoyt, B. w. Edelman, F. Gill
more, G. HI. Gorham, Robert Owens, w.
H. Bonsall, F. G. Smith, H. A. Barclay,

molly, w. G. Cochran, j. w. Haverstick,
M. III. Shepard, J. Mccarthy, J. HI.
Book and Col. H. H. Boyce.
The selection in the Fourth Ward was
as follows: S. Cornell, j. Coleman, E.
Powers, w. j. Foley, G. G. McComas, A.
Montana, G. H. Humphreys, J. W.
Davis, W. B. Walker, E. P. Sutherland,
H. T. Payne, Jno. Lowell and Peter Tgg.
The selection in the Fifth Ward W as q.
follows: J. NJ. Damron, w. F. Fitzger-
aid, J. Frankenield, w. f. Dunn, A.

W. Luitweiler, j. A. Rogers, A. Wald-
heimer, J. w. Hinton, DIR. II. Sinsa-
baug, A. Caldwell, DIR. Cohn.
When the sresult of the caucuses be-
came known each faction claimed VIC
tory. The friends of Meridith claimed to
to have all on the ticket in the Second
Ward except seven, and Martin Aguirre
thought he had eighteen delegates in the
third. The Oro Fino Club it was said
had gained victory all around
in the interest of Martin Aguirre
and the friends of George Gard for Sher-
if and Captain w. H. Seamans for Re-
corder thought that none Of the other
factions had much show. Others claimed
that the tickets selected were in the
main uupledged, and thought that the
county would rule the Convention this
year. The last indications on the street
last night were that there will be about
three tickets in each ward to-day, and
there we're hints that in case clique
seems to be ahead, floating delegation
will be passed around. The fight at the
polls to-day is likely to be quite lively.
