THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
The Gas Question Receives Some Attention in
Connection with the Selection of Delegates.

The Republican primaries held in each ward
of the city last night for the purpose Of select
ing delegates to the township nominating con-
vention, which meets in the Criminal Court
room this morning at 10 o'clock, were much
more largely attended than usual. and consider
ing that the convention is not of great i'm
portarce. great deal of enthusiasm was mani
tested. The delegates selected are capable of
making GOOD ticket for the support Of the
party
In some of the wards where the natural gas
question is the absorbing topic of discussion
that question came I'D for consideration after
the delegates had been selected. By pre-
arrangement citizens meeting in connection
with the primary in the Eighth ward was held
and the result was that several hundred
people. repre- senting three or four wards
and Woodruff Place, were present. and
soon as Republicans finished the selection of
delegates took up the gas ordinance for discus
sion. l.. p. Custer. secretary of district assem-
bly, No. LOG, and Alfred F. Potts made speeches
in opposition to any changes. After the speech
making resolution passed requesting
John c. Finch. their representative in the Coun-
Gil, to vote against the pending amendments.
Two or three hundred people were also pres
ent at the Twenty-frst ward nesting. and Coun-
he voted in favor of the proposed mendment
After ne had given his reasons resolution was
offered expressing disapproval of his course but
it was laid on the table by decisive vote. The
following resolution then introduced
Resolved, That we, the Republicans of the Twenty
first ward in primary assembled, hereby express our
in the Council and trust tina he win continue
his honest sentiments; and to use his influence for
good government aud for the interest of the Repub
Ican party of the Twentyirst ward.
A substitute resolution asking Mr.. Trusler to
vote in the interest of the Trust company. was
laid on the table, and the original resolution
was passed, only three persons voting against it.
There were but few citizens present at the
Twelfth ward meeting. but the proposed amend
was very evenly divided as to the changes but
a resolution requesting Councilman Cummings
to vote for the maintenance OF the present or
dinance passed by very small majority.
