WELL ATTENDED.
In response to the call for Republican
primaries to be held last evening the citi-
zens of that faith assembled at the meet
ing places designated in goodly numbers.
r. WARD.
At the city hall there was a sanguine
struggle between the Busy B combination
and the Young Mems Republican club.
The club was badly disfgured. This was
the only ward in which voters were carried
to the polls in carriages.
F, L. Addoms was chairman, w. NJ.
Mast, A. D. Kelley and f. F. Stable
tellers and 4. Colwell and E. c. Darling
clerks of election. Twenty-seven names
were mentioned for delegates to the
county convention. The Busy B was not
on the ground but trusted lieutenants
looked after his interests. There were no
printed ballots, but a ticket which CORE
| sponded name for name with that ulti-
mately elected, was to be had in quaint
ties to suit. 1t was written in a good,
round board Of trade hand which seemed
to have a peculiar charm about it.
The ticket referred to was elected by
votes varying from 80 to I27. 1t is as
follows:
b. I. Duffy, E. F. Stable,
John Chase, O. f. Rhoads,
s. Bon, Jr., L. G. jerks,
Theo. Linton. w. w. Lewis,
r. Morgan, e. A. Gay,
s.. Bonser, Jos. Sladek.
The total vote cast was I49.
SECOND WARD.
There was quite an exciting little SQUAD
BILE in the Republican hotbed. While the
voting was in progress the Busy B. moved
that only such persons as are members
of the Republican party be allowed to
vote at this primary, and that such per-
sons as are members or officers of hostile
organizations shall not be allowed to
vote" The motion was adopted by a
unanimous vote.
Prof. h. N. Stark, who had entered a
few minutes before the motion was offered
stepped forward with his ballot and was
promptly challenged by the Busy B., who
smiled like a poker player with four aces,
while Mr.. Stark blushed and asked for an
explanation. He was told in substance
that the objection was based on the news
paper announcement that he had been
elected president OF the Prohibition club.
Chairman E. w. Mann asked the
pleasure of the meeting. Mr.. j. G. Pratt
moved that the ballot be received.
Alter the motion had been stated the
Busy B. remarked that the meeting
should not stultify itself, and Mr.. Stark
said that he had always been a Republi-
can and had been made an officer Of the
Prohibition club without his knowledge or
consent.
The b saw that he had been thwarted,
and with great presence of mind with
drew his motion.
In a rather heated conversation the IN
suited professor said that he would get
even, and that if a good man we're nomi-
mated for treasurer by the Democrats he
would scratch the b. The latter only
laughed, and said he expected as much.
Several ladies were present at the pri-
mary. OF the eighty-nine votes cast, a
large number were called straight" that
is in the same handwriting. There were
twenty-five nominations. Tellers Sewers
and Parshall and Secretary Fred Bond
announced the delegation as follows:
S. J. Quinby, S. B. futile,
b. w. Mann, Louis Kirk,
w. n. Hunt, Il. S. Van Kuran,
John Chaplin, John A. Riner,
w. A. Robins. g. b. Goodell,
John Morrison, Geo. w. Sewers.
The Young Mems Republican club
Jared pretty well in this ward.

way at the court house last evening. They

Geo. W. johnson were appointed t~ellers.
