THE SHORT-HAIRS
WILL MANAGE THE REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION.
The Court House Ring Win the Day-Some
Notorious Men Selected as Delegates
The Tickets Selected.

lnere was no neaQ or tale 10 Jne hepuD-
lican primaries yesterday. There was a
different fight in every ward and it would
take Philadelphia lawyer half week
to unravel the mixed up conditions Of
affairs. To great extent it was fight
between the long and short-hairs and the
latter combination came out with flying
colors. The scenes at the Third and Sew
enth wards must have been revelation
to the respectable element of the Repub-
lican party. A bitter fight was waged
in both these wards and the disrep-
utables of this city played a very i'm
portant part in deciding who should
90 to the convention. The Abbotts and
men of their calibre and callings, were
conspicuous and had big following
with them. The heelers were carted
from one ward to another and the repu-
table citizens watched the proceedings
in amazement. In the Seventh ward
the ticket commonly called the Smith
ticket won. This means that this ward will
be almost solid for the court house ring.
The colored voters opposed the Smith
ticket, because no colored men were put
on it. In fact, the ring gave the colored
men. the cold shoulder. They are nat lrally
very indignant and it will be surprising
if they do not take revenge on election
day. In the Third ward there were
fully seven different tickets in the field,
and "hobos' and deadbeats from all
over the town got in their deadly work
The bitter fight waged is bound to result
in split, and the chasm will be so wide
that election day will be over before it
will be bridged, The ring crowdhas
captured the Republican convention, and
glance over the delegates will reveal a
number OF citizens who are notorious
from other causes than political.
The First Ward.
A bitter fight was waged in the First
ward and party feeling was apparently
lost sight OF in the contest between the
individuals whose names appeared upon
the four tickets presented to the intelli-
gent voter on which to cast his ballot.
The fact that the regular caucus ticket,
after the names of G. N. Earl and H. V.
Van Dusen had been omitted there
from, prevailed, is significant of the
feeling entertained by the East Siders
for their representative in the council
and his henchman.
The successful ticket was as follows:
II. O. Blaisdell, H. A. Barraclough, j.
Cadman, +. E. johnson, w. A. Ken
N. l..
Moore, j. M. Murphy, w. f. Poor, R.
w. l. Shanklin, R. Sharp, G. Wickman,
F. M. Wiley.

The Third Ward.
There were seven tickets in the field
in the Third ward. Every other Repub-
hcan in the ward apparently desired to
take part in the convention that will put
up ticket to be showed under from top
to bottom on Nov. 4. Plenty of funny
work was carried out in this heretofore
respectable ward. There were sixty odd
votes cast more than the tally sheet
showed. When this became known a
number OF respectable gentlemen went
home disguised with the methods of the
Republican ring. 1t was 10 o'clock be-
fore the judges got through counting,
and mixed ticket was elected. Henry
T. Hazard headed several tickets,
but the "ring'h was forninst him
and he failed to get elected as a delegate.

man on the ticket pulled through with
PIG votes.
Fourth ward.
The regular ticket nominees went
through in the Fourth ward with the
exception of Colonel G. Wiley Wells
who was scratched in the interest OF
Councilman Frankenfield and defeated
by solitary vote, thus robbing the dis
tinguished gentleman of the Fourth
ward of an opportunity to place one Of
his friends in nomination for superior
judge. The delegates elected were: B.

Carran, George Alexander, E. F.
Klokke, l. D. Stein. H. Sinsabaugh and
]. G. Tufts. This is Tom Lewis ward

solid for him for assessor, but as this
is the most insignificant ward in the
