Vote in Detail.

The Republican primary election for
the selection of delegates to the First
District Convention at Clarksburg, and
the State Convention at Martinsburg,
was held yesterday at the usual voting
places in the county, between the hours
OF l and o'clock D. m. Two tickets
were presented in each district, the con-
test being between T. J. Hugus and
Editor C. B. Hart, Of the Inteuigencer.
The election passed off very quietly,
no disturbances being reported from any
OF the voting places. Very little inter
est was taken in the result, and very
light vote was polled throughout the
county in consequence. The largest
vote was polled in Richie district. The
returns began coming in at o'clock,
and an hour later all the city districts
had been heard from. Mr.. Hart came
out victorious in the city. He succeed
ed in getting 13 out Of the 81 delegates.
Hart delegates were elected in
Madison, Washington, Clay and
Center. Hugus delegates in Webster,
Richie and Triadelphia. Union
divided its delegation, giving Hart l
and Hugus .. Richland and Liberty
could not be ascertained last night, but
both are claimed by friends of Mr.. Hart.
If he gets the delegates from but one of
the districts, which is very probable,
he will have 10 out of the 80 delegates.
