several others
After some further resolutions urging the

A nesting Of Gearon's friends was held
last night in the Fourth district 1t was
claimed by friends OF Gearon yesterday
that his vote In the Fourth will equal IL
not exosed, Doolau's. His most enthusiastic
supporters do not claim his election, how
ever.
FIVE SURE WINNERS NOW.
All of the candidates gained strength
| yesterday, IL the statements of their friends
are to be accepted, and at least five OF the
humber are sure Of election. The election
of Ryals, Schley, Guerard, Osborne and
Doolan is confidently claimed by the sup
| porters Of each.
There is some talk of placing an entirely
new ticket in the field at the last moment,
in which case present calculations may be
| upset. Ii would be well for the managers
| Of the primaries in the different districts to
| see that the elections in their respective
| districts are managed with the greatest
care and circumspection, that there may be
no possible ground for complaints of in-
| justice or unfairness. Predictions were
| freely made yesterday by stauch demo
Gratis that If the result OF the primary
| Monday should prove unsatisfactory
and there should be any
| ground of complaint against
/ its management an independent ticket
would be put in the field between the time
of the primary and the state election. This
| would cause great deal of trouble, eSpe-
oially at a time when necessity demands that
the party be united.
CLIFTON GIVING POINTERS.
Ex-Representative Clifton was round
giving the candidates pointers Yesterday.
II am not tho race" he said, 'but wish
you would lay special stress on one thing
that is If the military of Chatham

they must choose their candidates with O
view to this point Let them support only
men who will express themselves as decid-

In many counties the issue is being made
squarely on the appropriation for the an
nual encampment, and it is by no means
certain that an appropriation will be made

! Various meetings to indorse candidates
are talked of for to-day ard tomorrow. 1t
is rumored that Mai Ryals' friends will
protest against the management of the
