The Democratic primaries were held las
evening, from to P. NJ. The contests in
the county were for delegates to the County
Convention, as between Daniel McWilliam.
and Dennis ]. Boyle for County Commits
sioner, and for the Legislative district con-
ventions between the Pattison and Wallace
delegates.
Up to midnight Commissioner McWill-
Jams had received returns from districts
which gave him 90 delegates. In these re.
turns he had carried the First ward, the
Twenty-ninth and the Thirty-6rst solidly.
His chief strength came from the boroughs
and townships. He carried Beltzhoover,
Knoxville, Braddock, Williamsburg, Brush
ton, Edgewood and Osborne boroughs and
Sterrett township. Returns were received
from no other places outside of the two
cities.
Dennis J. Boyle, up to II o'clock, had re-
ceived assurances that his delegates had been
elected in 123 districts. He carried solidly
the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth,
Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thir-
teenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Twenty
first, Thirtieth, Thirty-third, Thirty. fourth
and Thirty-sixth wards. In Allegheny 10
districts reported delegates for him, and he
has besides Elizabeth, Greentree and Mill
vale boroughs and Union township.
TWO OTHER CANDIDATES.
Alexander Wilson, the wholesale tobac-
conist, who is resident of the Eleventh
ward of Allegheny, claims to have carried
80 districts in Allegheny and three in Pitts
burg. James Italian, of this city, has car
ried, as far as claimed, only the seventh pre-
cinct of the Sixth ward and the third of the
Second ward. The two other districts of
the Second ward went for McWilliams. In
the second district of the Second ward j. K.
P. Duff was elected for McWIlliams with
out an opposing vote.
The Democratic leaders agree that the
convention on Tuesday must nominate two
candidates for County Commissioner. BOYLE
and McWilliams will probably be the
ticket, and they will fight it out at the polls.
1t is expected by Democrats themselves that
only one will be elected. Many of the
BOYLE men are for McWilliams for the
second nominee, and many McWilliams
men declare themselves secondly for Boyle
The indications last night were that the
delegation to the State convention at Scran-
ton would stand Is for Pattison, for WALL
ace and for Black. The returns received
indicate the election of the following from
the several Legislative districts:
HOW IT LOOKS NOW.
First-Frank Fertig and Frank Suehr,
Pattison.
Second-Lee Frasher and Fred j. Man.
ley, for Pattison.
Third-Joseph StokeIy and John Dunn,
Jr., for Wallace.
Fourth-Charles Anderson and Alderman
John Burns, for Wallace.
Fifth-Charles A. Pagan and Patrick
joyce, for Pattison; James NJ. Guffy, Ed
Wainwright and Patrick Foley, for Wal
lace, and Thomas Mullen, for Black, but for
Pattison if Black is not candidate.
Sixth-John w. Snee, j. L. Moran and
R. M. Mckinney, for Pattison.
Seventh-R. S. McCutcheon and DR..
Albert Hare, for Pattison.
Eighth-L.F. Holtzman and William A.
Kelly, for Psttison.
Some of the Democratic leaders maintain
that Allegheny county is entitled to %
delegates, although the figures do not bear
this out. If % are allowed, either the
Fourth or the Seventh district will be al
lowed the extra delegate The third dele
gate from the Seventh district, in that event,
will be DR.. Johnston.
