DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. The Fiercest Fight Waterbury Has
 Ever Seen.
 The fiercest political fight Waterbury has ever seen was that waged yesterday by the warning factions of the local democracy. It was battle royal. For five long hours the struggle for su premacy was waged and at the close the result was considerably in doubt.
 In the first ward the fight was be- tween clubs from the East end and North end, A. A. Irion being the candi date for alderman on each ticket. A number of republicans who tried to vote were called down, much to the delight of the spectators, who were out for fun. Ward Committeeman John H. Duggan directed the regular ticket and came out of the fight with flying colors, the score being 233 to 157, a majority of 76.
 The two tickets in the second ward were headed by Henry Flanagan and James E. Russell, respectively. The best of order was preserved and the van quished party took defeat philosophi cally. The number of ballots cast as 4O6, of which Flanagans ticket had 245 and RusselPs 16l; majority S4.
 In the third ward Committeeman l hand of despot. He worked tooth and nail for the Mahaney ticket and refused | to allow representatives of the other two | tickets admission to the room where the ballot box was placed. Slip writers were placed on the sidewalk outside of the building, however, and the name of every man who voted was secured, making it impossible for anyone to doctor" the returns. The fight was
 
 battle cleared away it was found that Dolan and his ticket were 129 in the shade. The vote was as follows: Regu- lar ticket 1S4 votes; Mahaney ticket 175: Taxpayers ticket 120. The candidates for alderman, member of town commit tee and ward committeeman were the same on the Regular and Citizens tickets.
 In the fourth ward nearly 900 votes were cast, the opposition tickets being headed by Edward B. Reilly and Eugene Sullivan, respectively. It was the most bitterly contested struggle of the day and both sides were handicapped Several of the members of the Washington street club did not vote and as they had been counted on to support the River street ticket their loss was felt. On the other hand there was defcCtion in the ranks of the Pleasant street club owing to the make-up or the IlCkeI, thus evening uE matters. Of the votes cast Edward B Reilly received 45l; Eugene Sullivan 43S Reilly's majority 13.
