ONLY 4 MODERATE VOTE POLLED.
Judging by the general complexion of
the primaries, last evening, held for the
purpose of selecting five representatives
from each of the ten districts of the
county to the Republican County
Convention which is to assemble in
the Police Court room, at the City
Hall, tomorrow afternoon, there is lit
tie doubt but that the delegates to the
District Convention at Littleton, and the
State Convention at Fairmont, will be
Blaine men. 1t is hard to tell what
brought about this result. In the words
Of one Republican brother, who looked
over the list of delegates last evening, the
followers of the Knight who
has for some months been pacing unessily
and irresolutely around in foreign chimes,
have either taken courage from the publi-
cation, yesterday morning, of tte Philadel-
phiatelegram; or else Mr., G. Yves. Atkinson
and the rest Of the friends Of the Ohio
linsncier have '.jess nach'ily" lost their
old-time grip, and couldn't work things
as cutely, at this early stage,
as did their friends of the Fourth
district at Rayenswood, the other day.
Bot be this rs it may, the Blaine men
were going about last evening after nine
o'clock, singing softly to themselves. and
remarking that Ohio county was fall right,
anyhow"
Following are the delegates selected, so
far IS reported last night:

chair, Mr.. s. G. Smith being made Secre-
( tary. Although it was not on the pro-
gramme for the primaries to select mem
bers Of the County Committee, that being
left to the County Convention, the voters
at this poll considered the matter, and re-
elected Mr.. Ralph Whitehead as their

following delegates: Henry Harvey, Con-
rod Leonhart, w. II. Trsvis, Clarence
Haynes and VIM. Schwertfeger.
RICHIE.
There was q reasonable turnout of the
voters of Richie, and 80 lively was the
contest between the delegates that there
was q tie ss to two of the candidates
Harry Seybold and Conrad Bremen. The
four whose election was beyond question
we're K, NJ. Gillelsnd, James Freese, John
W. Sehultze and Charles Bryson.
The country districts have not been
heard from. The election there occurred
between the hours of two and five o'clock
in the afternoon. Besides the selection Of
delegates to the District and State Con-
ventions, the first of which meets at Lit
Teton on the 18th, and the latter at Fair
mont on the following day, the Conven-
! ton tomorrow will be asked 10 consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of increasing the member
ship in the County Committee. The pres
ent number is ten, one from each district,
but the country people seem to think they
ought to have more, and il has even been
suggested to give them one member for
each voting precinct. Washington district
and Madison also are asking for two MEM
bers. What tbs result will be in this re-
gard is very uncertain.
