The Primaries to be Held This AT
terneon-POlitical Gossip About
the Situation.
A number Of Republican caucuses were
held last night, called by no authority
and productive of nothing save the bring
| ing forward Of the names of the people
who want to be delegates to the Conven-
ton, which has, at last, been officially
called for next Monday. 1t is stated, on
good authority, that the disaffection in
the Republican ranks has even ex-
tended to some of the members of the
City Central Committee who have seen
the error of the ways of the majority of
the committee. 1t has transpired that
at several of the meetings of the COM
mittee motions were made to hold only
caucus primaries by members who did
not see the necessity of going through
the strain OF balloting twice, once when
the workingmen could be present in the
evening, and at another time when they
cannot visit the polls. The result Of the
caucuses last night amounts to nothing,
for the same tickets in the field then will
be in the field to-day, and it is possible
that the count after the primaries
this afternoon will show different sell
ection of delegates than was announced
by the chairman last night. In the
Third Ward Mr.. Geo. M. Holton pre-
sided, and there were seven or eight
tickets in the field, each in favor of some
man for nomination for Office. One
ticket was in favor OF Major Bonsall for
Councilman, another for ]. H. Book,
still another for s. B. Caswell and an
other for ]. @. Bryan. Then there was
the Courthouse Ring" ticket, the Union
League ticket and Burlingame's ticket.
The ticket which won was mixture,
but all will be in the field again to-
day. Chairman Holton had a peculiar
way of putting the question. He
never remembered to call for the "nays."
In the Seventh Ward caucus, Ex-Gover-
nor ]. j. Gosper was in the chair, and
their were four tickets in the field. One
received liz votes, another 70, another
"a, and a small one 38. The Fehneman
ticket was ahead, but the wise chairman
decided that there was no election be-
cause it did not receive a majority and
declared. the election void. This was
considered queer ruling, and as q result,
all four tickets will be in the field to-day.
During the course of the meeting the fol
lowing resolutions we're introduced by
Mr.. Fehneman and unanimously
adopted:
RESOLVED, That the delegates from the Seventh
Ward be instructed to use every epdeavor atthe
comining Convention to secure pledge that
free labor exchange be kept up at the expense
Of the city for the benefit Of the unemployed,
and that I'll employment ofic ss, where fees are
charged, be placed under heavy bonds for the
faithful performance of their duties.
Resolued. That eight hours day, and first
class pay. be the rule for all municipal work.
RESOLVED, That the city neither employs
Chinese, or buys any goods of Chinese manu-
facture.
