Island Republicans Somewhat Torn up
Republican Primaries To-Day-Prohioi-
ton Convention.
There has been considerable quanti-
" of tears she'd among the Island Re
pubicans, during the past Two or three
days, over the question OF who shall De
nominated for Council, and matters
have taken something OF sectional as
well as factional turn. A determined
effort is being made on the part OF GER
tain gentlemen. who have heretofore
confined their political manou'ring 10
State and National politics, 10 get control
of the ward in city affairs, and in doing
this they have endeavored TO force some
of the old time city political rulers to the
wall. This has naturally created big
kick, and hence the heartburnings re-
ferred to- There was a great desire on
the part of many Republicans, especial
ly those living in the central part OF the
Island, to renominate Messrs. Maxwell
and Marsh for the Second Branch, al
lowiag the upper end Of the Island to
have the third member OF the Second
Branch aud the member in the First, II
they wanted it. The newcomers
set themselves TO work to
force Messrs. Marsh and Maxwell
out, and as a result, Mr.. Maxwell de-
clined to become candidate. Mr.. Marsh
consented 10 stand, and was suggested,
but the pressure was kept up, and Mon
day he had about determined to draw
off. This came to the ears of his
friends, and there was a big movement
on foot yesterday TO keep him on the
who watches over things political alone
can tell.
The Republican primaries for the Sc
lection OF candidates for Council, Chief
of Police, and three delegates from each
ward TO city convention. take place to-
day. between the hours OF two and
eight O'Clock, and promise TO be very
lively. Itlooks as though John Kline
would be the leader for Police Chief,
with w. II. Halter close second,
Thomas ID. Bennett next, j. c. Devine
fourth and Daniel Ingram last: at least,
this is the judgment OF many impartial
observers. We will all know 10 night
how it really is. OF the result for Coun-
ell in the several wards, no man can
make a prediction. Yesterday the can
didates for City Sergeant were whoop-
ing things up lively, realizing that the
end of the fight was in sight.
Tomorrow afternoon the Prohibition
City Convention will meet in McLains
hall to nominate city ticket.
John =. Glass, of the Mtelligenccr, is
mentioned as candidate for City Clerk
on the Republican ticket.

hands on the outside. They were both

some looking birds. They had both
evidently been in careful training, as
their staying powers were something
wonderful. As soon as the birds got to
work the crowd clambered up on the

neck feathers rose up, they eyed each
other for moment, and then dashed
ferociouSly into each other. They re-

and the birds had TO be separated. This
happened so often that the fight after a
while took on rather tedious turn.
During the first two or three pittlngS
the birds got ia such heavy work that
they seemed exhausted after that, and
but little effective work was done for an
hour or two after.
The birds were very evenly matched,
and both we're samS tQ the core. The
fight became so long drawn out that the
timC- keeper got knocked out before the
birds did. and he resigned in favor OF
another watch holder. The
tight was finally declared a
draw. II lasted two hours and forty
five minutes, which is the longest hight
on record with two and half inch steel
irons. The Pdrkersburg bird owner,
who has been in the cock arena over 80
years, says he never saw anything APP
preaching it. Long as the fight was, 1t
was watched with an eagerneSS that
can be better experienced than de-
scribed. both birds Sete pretty well
used up, and one OF the old cock fan
ciers who was present said u they should
skin the feathers OF those birds you d
find the bodies as riddled as though
with bullets. The Parkersburg cock
had been in training for about 10 days,
and the Wheeling bird about the same
time.
