one WARD IN DOUBT,
AS the Result Of the Demo-
cratic Primaries Last
Evening.
The Contesting Fifth Warders
May Settle the Battle
To-Day.
Independent Legislative Ac-

Wards.
Personnel Of the Convention
and Precise Results OF
a. Primaries.

The Democratic primaries last even
ing passed off without any special or
undue excitement, except in the Fifth
ward, where there was very animated
contest for the delegation. Throughout
the city the directions of the Australian
law were carried out to the letter,
and no question can be raised as to the
legality of to-day's convention, as is I'M
fortunately not the ease with the
late Republican county convention.
The best of feeling prevailed on all
sides, and in but two or three of the
eleven wards were there contesting
tickets. The ticket likely to be nom
mated by the convention this morning
can now be outlined.
AS has previously been stated, there
will be no opposition to the nomination
of r. T. O'Conaor for clerk of the dis
trict court, A. n. Nelson for treasurer,
NJ. f. Kahn for auditor, Capt. William
Hanft for sheriff, John B. Oil
vier for Judge of probate, G.
L. Haas for register of deeds.
d. L. Curtice for county surveyor, and
Judges Kerr and Otis and j. j. Egan
for judges. This leaves but few OF the
county offices proper to be fought for in
the eonvention-in fact, barring the six
nominations for county commissioners
that are to be made, and that for county
uperintendent, which will be left
entirely to the delegates from
the outside districts, there are but
two nominations yet in dOnbt-thoSe for
county attorney and coroner. While it
is not possible to make an exact eSti-
70 of of al tac ao,., tAd
by each of the two candidates for the
county attorneyship. on account of the
Fifth ward contest it certainly looks as
though Thomas d. O'Brien had carried
the day and will be nominated at the
convention this morning.
Since it became known that there
was move on foot to nominate DR..
Quinn for coroner, very strong feeling
has sprung up among the Democrats
against such move. ''It seems to- me-"
remarked a Fourth ward delegate last
evening, "that we have plenty of bright
young Democrats who will be glad to
accept the nomination, and that there
is no necessity of taking up man who
has always been against us. do not
believe it either good politics or policy
to place DR.. Quinn on our ticket, and [
shall certainly do my utmost to prevent
such move"
DR.. c. j. Woolway and DR.. REM are
being mentioned as likely nominees by
some of the delegates to the convention,
and the name of one or the other, and
perhaps both, will be placed before the
convention. Both are popular young
members of the medical profession, with
hosts of friends. and it is believed that
either would be able to defeat the re-
dOubtable DR.. Quinn.
The legislative nominations will be
mixed. Most Of the wards have in
structed their delegations for some local
favorlte for the lower house of the legis-
lature, and such thing as all indOrse-
. ment Of the Citizens ticket entire is an
absolute impossibility. In the First
ward G. J. Lomen Will undoubtedly be
taken up and placed on the ticket; in
the Second DR.. E. x. Amoss will be the
nominee, as the delegation from that
ward is solidly for him, and as firmly
Citizens nominee. DR.. Murphy will not
stand ghost of a show, as the delegation
from that ward is in favor of August
Nelson, and he will be the party nomi-
nee. Charles N. Bell will be the choice
of the Democrats of the Fourth ward.
and Charles Ringwald of those of the
Fifth ward. La the Sixth ward the
Citizens re commentator will not be
adopted, although the delegation from
that ward had not last evening decided
upon whom they would present as their
choice. Lane K. Stone, the citizens
choice in tine Seventh ward, will be in
dorsed simply because no Democrat
would stand a show of defeating him
at the polls. Eighth ward Democrats
have taken the reinS in their mouths
md hot
shall be their candidate this morning.
r. A. Walsh, the popular young at
torney, easily corralled the dele
CATION from the Ninth ward, re-
ceiving every vote of the SOC
cast at the two precincts. The Tenth
and Eleventh wards and the country will
undoubtedly place man in the field in
dependent of the Citizens committee.
Hon. Daniel W. Lawler will I'M
doubtedly be the chairman of the con-
vention, which, by the way, will meet
at O'Clock this morning in the New
market theater.
First Ward.
In the First precinct forty-six and in
the Second ninety-one ballots were cast
| for the following list of delegates, there
being no contest: nj. MulIane, Hugh
| Campbell, James Forrestal, Albert
Starkey, Daniel Aberle, Gilbert Oleson,
William johnson, E. Magnusen. This

and Ives for county attorney, al least
| that was the statement at the caucus
last evening, and they are also divided
| OH the matter of indorsing the Citizens
| legislative ticket.
Second Ward.

ward. The First district was at Mar
| garet street police station, and the Sec
