Correspondence of the Gazette.
CoMANCHE, TEX, Aug. 2.-The pri-
mary election passed off quietly to-day.
The personal friends of the different
candidates worked for their men quite
energetically, but the best of feeling
prevailed. AS far as heard from, the
present incumbents are all renominated
with the exception of j. ID. Bonner,
county clerk, who Is defeated by r. E.
Hams. Mr.. Bonner has been county
clerk for sixteen years with the eXcep-
ton of two years, when the Union
Labor party was in control of the county
affairs. He Is thought to have few
equals and no superiors as county
clerk. Courteous and obliging to every
one under all circumstances he was q
most formidable opponent, and it was
quite a surprise to his friends when
they learned that Hams was leading
him at every box heard from.
