SIGHr-THE LIST OF DELEGATES CHOSEN TO To-
MoREows coSvESTIoS-eooD oRpER At MOST
ALL OF TIE GATHERINGS.
The democratic primaries held LAST evening
in the various districts for the purpose Of elect
ing delegates to the district convention we're.
| as rule, quietly conducted. In all the dis
tricts there were indications of the strong
! rivalry between the factions into which the
democratic party Of the District Is divided, but
there was no violent disorder. In closely con-
tested districts superior strength was rscog-
nized, and those in opposition either submitted
without a struggle or fought every inch Of the
ground by so-called parliamentary tactics. In
some cases. where the majority proceeded with
more swiftness than accuracy to the end in
view contests will be made and the convention
| will be called upon to decide between the con-
I fiicting claims. While vote by ballot was the
! rule, there was nothing TO prevent men from
voting as often they pleased. and some. 1t IL
claimed. exhausted enough Of the right Of fran
| chise to last the average citizen three or four
years.
POLITICAL DISTINCTIONS FORGOTTEN.
i For the t,,ne the usual political distinctions
were forgotten and republicans voted with the
democrats. Even the colored brother, who is
supposed to be always a republican, was con-
| spicuous at several of the meetings Some Of
| the oid-iine democratic. who regard the colored
man synonymous with the republican party,
objected to his taking part in democratic pTi-
inGries. But on the principle that vote is a
vote the colored brother was allowed to de-
post his ballot The police were represented
at all the meetings. bur with possibly one or
two exceptions they were rot called on to in
te-fers and prevent q breach OF the peace.
Fractional feeling ran high and there were a
good many hard names called and some bad
language used, but the demonstrations stopped
shor, of the point of n free fight. The import
ance OF the issues at stake was evident fronithe
earnestncss with which the leaders of the two
factions entered into the contest.
GOOD MASAGEMENr AND ORGANIZATION.
There evidence Of good management and
organization. The leaders were well supplied
with tickets and the forces under their COM
msnd cbeyed with all the promptness Of q dis
ciplined army. There was q good deal of talk
among the rank and file about the money that
had been expended. In some districts it was
asserted that one candidate alone had spent
some 300 OF $780, At any rate there was an
abundance of printed matter, and i'll several of
the districts il was evident that the voters were
well primed with liquor.
The result of the voting in the primaries was
claimed las. night by both factions as a victory.

On the jump, that is to say, as many as possible
jumped on the stage and surrounding the
chairman, SO that he quite lost to the view of
those in the ball they gestic uIated and shouted

transact business under such circumstances
