-Excttins Primary Battles.
One of the warmest democratic primary
battles ever waged in this city occurred in
the various wards of the city yesterday
afternoon and evening, and resulted in
the election of Sargent delegates from nine
of the twelve wards, Mr.. Nicely succeeding
in carrying only the Third, Fourth and
Twelfth wards. The returns give Sargent
50 votes in the convention to 81 for Will
lam Nicely. Great hustling was done in
all the wards by both factions, and the
contests In several wards were more than
usually spirited. The leaders consider it
great victory for the administration ow-
ing to the fact that it was generally UNDER
stood that Nicely had the majority of the
wards and would undoubtedly carry the
city, but the "best laid plans of mice and
men Outlines gang:aglee," and as result
Sargent will receive the nomination.
Regarding the city clerkship, last even
ing the friends of James B. Martin stated
that he had carried majority of the
wards, and was in consequence sure of the
party nomination for city clerk.
The contest between Selectman John I.
Goodrich and ex Alderman Joseph B.
Cunningham for selectman was pushed
vigorously, and it was claimed by Gun
ningham's friends that he has succeeded in
''getting there" This was practically the
only contest in the town delegation. VIII
liam M. Geary, for many years connected
with the town agents Office, is announced
by his friends as candidate for selectman.
orpSo bat To-, l. l..
Eighth-last night by 48 majority. His
friends are determined to make a strong
pull for his nomination, and his long ex-
perience and familiarity with town affairs
and his ability are cited as evidence that
he would make highly efficient official.
