SECOND DISTRICT.

The primaries held i'll the Second dis
trict last night were as quiet as O
Sunday School Convention, aud no OPP
position to the tickets presented was
made. In each precinct the delegates
were unpledged, and will at the conven-
tion exercise their best judgment with
ont fear or favor. Those spoken to in re-
gard TO their preference for Mayor were
unanimously in favor of Sheriff Davis,
and they all said that il he would only
say he would accept the honor, he would
be the next Mayor. Not in one single IN
stance did hear this contradicted.
Down in the First and Second precints,
where heretofore it has required squad
of police to run the primary, only one
man was stationed, and he had nothing
to do but to kill time: and at The
Rocks the same state OF affairs existed,
and to say that the voters were surprised
at it would be a mild expression.
1t was the same way In the Third dis
trict. Every one seemed satisfied with
the delegates named and no opposing
tickets were presented at the windows.
The usual vote was cast in these dis
tricts, but there was q noticeable absence
of enthusiasm in the manner it was done;
it seemed to be mechanical. but it was
also noticed that when the name of
Sheriff Davis was mentioned for the
nomination the apathy disappeared,
chased away by smile which spoke
volumes. In the Second district the dele
gates elected were as follows:-
City Convention = William Farrell
Michael Sanmons, Peter McStay, Andrew
J. Sheridan, Michael j. Kenny, John
Mcdonald. James Harris, Charles E.
Haskins, John F. Kelly, John Casey.
John T. Madden, Dennis Murphy, John
f. Eagan, Adam ]. Ditmar, Laclxey Fal
