FRANCOIS KNOCKED OUT BADLY.


The Democratic primaries for the
election of delegates to the County Con-
vention and to the Assembly and Free
holder Conventions were held throughout
the county last night.
In the First district, at both polling
places, the O'Neill delegates for the
Assembly Convention and the German
delegates for Freeholders' Convention
had a practical walkover. There was
only one ticket in the field. Enquiries in
the First, Second and Third districts as
to who was favored for Directorate Large
resulted in the conclusion that the choice
would be the man who showed the most
strength in HoDoken. That he would
be Hoboken man no one seemed to
doubt. These are the delegates from the
first eight precincts of the First dis
trict:--
County Convention--Andrew Barricklo, Francis
Moran, James Coyle Peter #. Madden. Michael
Handerhan, Patrick McClcskey, Patrick H.
Naughton, Michael Mullone, Frederick w. Kis-
sam.

McStay.

rick Patterson.

FIGHTING HENNEssY.
In the Second district there was a
strong fight between the HennesSy and
Kilmurry delegates for the Freeholders'
Convention. There was but slight oppo-
sition to the Byrne delegates to the AS
sembly Convention.
At the joint primary of the First, Sec
ond and Third precincts there was lively
contest between the Hennessy and the
Kilmurry men. The friends of both
aspirants hustled like blazes, but the Hen
messy men were too numerous. These

Sheridan, John B. Curley, Thomas Lenahan.

tendeck.

egates after an exceedingly lively skir-
mish, downed the Hennessy delegates.
They are:-
County Convention Michael F. Feeley and
Michael HIGGINS
Assembly Convention William Travers

In the Fifth and Sixth precincts the
voting was very quiet. Hennessy lives

EXCITEMENT IN LAFAYETTE
There was a lively time at the joint
primary of the Ninth and Tenth pre-
cincts, held at No. $40 Johnston avenue.

tion, and fought for it. In the melee

AN ARREST
There was more fun in the Twelfth
precinct just previous to the opening
Of the primary, through which James
MuldOOn, election boss of the district and
candidate for delegate to the Freeholders'
Convention on the opposing ticket, fell
into the clutches of the police. Muldoon
lives at No. 1876 Halliday street. 1t is
alleged that the ballot box in his charge
was stuffed. 1t is certain that he refused
his opponent representation and these
latter made raid on the polling place.
The box was secured, broken open and
the contents scattered to the winds. Null
doom was arrested by Policeman Harmes
and taken to the Library Hall station.
He was released on bail later. This ticket
was elected
County Convention. Thomas E. Shields; As
sembly Convention, Marcus Bollhardt; Director
I'll al Convention Patrick HreelOld0rS'
Convention, John Erickson.
The contest in the Thirteenth was some
what lively also. Edwards and Friery,
for delegates to the Freeholders' Conven-
tion, were bitter opponents. In fact they
were the only real contestants, the other
candidates having things their own way,
though there was little scratching for
the Assembly Convention candidate, in
which the name of George Ennis was sub
stituted for that of Edward Kelly. The
contest passed off quietly. The result is
as follows
County Convention George Slickermeyer; Di-
rectorat- Large Convention Adolph Seilheimer;
Assembly Convention, John +. Kelly; Freehold
aers Convention, Joseph w. Edwards.

In the Third district the Donnelly dele
dates to the Freeholder Convention claim

the precincts. There seemed to be no ex-
pressed preference for either John Hart,
Alderman Hoos or James N. Davis con-
cerning the Assembly nomination. Joe
