POLITICAL POINTS.
Echoes From the Republican Primaries of
Saturday.

Echoes From the Republican Primaries of
Saturday.
There was pretty nearly as much talk
about town. Yesterday, over the Republi-
can primaries as there was Saturday and
on previous days. Any amount Of lead
pencils and quires Of paper were used up
in attempts 10 demonstrate Just how the
fight for delegates TO the Congressional
Convention had come out, and there was
quite a divergence in the results arrived AT,
accordingly as the mathematician was fol-
lower Of Hubbard, a friend Of Capt. Doy
ener, or an Independent, who rather favored
the nomination Of Hon. \. w. Campbell.
Mr. Hubbards friends claimed TO have
secured at least three-fourths of the dele
gates, and said yesterday they would have
from thirty-two TO thirty-four Of the forty
two votes the county viii cast in the con
ventiom They concede Madison and Richie
districts to Dovener, with one delegate in
Clay and perhaps one or two others in the
county. They thought about ten votes
would be the most Captain Dovener would
get.
On the other hand, the DOvener men say
that in addition 10 Madison and Richie
they will have two votes in Clay. one or
two in Washington, and from four 10 five
others in the county, total Of about seven
teen or eighteen in the county, and that
they will not east less than fifteen votes in
the convention.
One Of the most anus ng and interesting
feature Of the fight, was the way certain Of
the postoflice force, supposed 10 have At
kinsOn inclinatiOns, were knocked out over
-, 4 u1aaeiaf- about
all they could raise while their opponents
went over 100. 1t made quite political
object lesson.
While neither John Frew nor =. B.
Dobbins outwardly seemed 10 care a straw
which won for County Commissioner. in
CLAY district, their respective friends had
quite a spirited little contest over
the matter. During the counting of
the vote, when sixty-two tickets out Of the
100 cast, had been examined, and each gen
tleman had thirty-One, there were numer-
Gus wagers Of stOgies and nickels on the
result, but Mr.. Dobbins pulled away on
the windup, and scored triumph with ten
majority
The gentlemen who were designated TO
count the vote Of Ritchie district did not
conclude their ardurous labor until about
five o'clock in the morning. The result
was as follows:

DEPEw RESPONSIBLE.
Powderly Says He has His Fingers on the
Key.

~
Master Workman Powderly, when asked
his views concerning the great strike on
the New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad, SAID that some time since it was
to him that employees of that line
were being Disseminated against, the dis
charged men all being known as leaders of
organized labor. This strike is taken as a
final protest against such discrimination,
which had become unbearable. Mr.. Pow
derly said that the employees of the road
have a perfect organization from New
York TO Buffalo. All Of these Organiza-
tiOns are not members of the Knights of
Labor, but their action is a concerted one
and there will be perfect unity. The order
TO quit work
WILL BE OREYED BY ALL.
In conclusion Mr.. Powderly said: II no.
tice that the statement is made that Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew is not held responsible for
this trouble; but the discharge of the men
did not take place without his knowledge
or consent. On the contrrry before he
went to Europe his men were being vic
timiZed, so he is as responsible as he was
before he sailed for the Old World. He is
not pauper and, as a consequence, can af
ford to use the electric cable. He has his
FINGER oy THE KEY
at the other end, and knows all that is
tanspiring in this country pertaining to
his own interests.
1T was asserted last May that some Of
the under officials of the New York Cen
tral, or" correcting himself, "of the Van
derbilt system, were in the pay of agents
Of the Gould system, and were anxious to
bring trouble on that company, and there
fore influenced the officials of the Central
to make war on the workmen. The stock
holders and those who really own the New
York Central have no objection to organized
men and are not responsible for this strike.
But they are neglecting their own interests
in not watching the officials little closer.
