ty, fOf tEe puIpore VI ncicCtlbS 1oV uolt-
gates to county convention, which
will be convened at 10 o'clock next
Tuesday morning in Turnverein hall.
That convention will nominate county
and legislative ticket, to be voted for
on the 9th day of next November.
Throughout the city the primaries
were conducted in an orderly and decent
manner. In but two wards were there
any contests to speak of-the Eighth
and the Ninth. As predicted by the
HERALD, battalions of police were not
required to keep the peace, nor was
there one single arrest during the
entire day. f
THE DIFFERENCE.
It was remarkable day. The regis
ter at the police station up to p. m.
did not show solitary case where a
man had been taken to the police station
for any cause.
As compared with the disgraceful
scenes which were witnessed in the Sec
ond ward at the Republican primaries,
the quiet and orderly voting at the
corner of Buena Vista and Temple
streets yesterday, from 2 until z p. M,
was like a general election. No re.
peatere voted nor did non-residents OF
the wards. The vote cast was legiti-
mate and it came from that element,
largely, that seldom turns out at pri-
mary election. In most wards there
was but one ticket in the field. 1t was
made up from among the best Demo-
Gratis in the ward and was in every way
representative. There YVES no reason
for any trouble to arise and there were
none.
in the Seventh ward there wasa little
contest. The ward ia entitled to 3S dele
gates and one ticket only had So names
on it. Another one bore the full quota
of names which the ward was entitled
to in the convention as delegates. The
consequence was that three names were
added in lead pencil to the ticket that
was ehort. There was considerable
scratching done but it affected no one
materially. Voters were merely ex-
pressing their individual preferences.
NO GUNS OR KNIVES WELDED.
At no time was it necessary in the
Seventh ward for the judge of the elec-
tion to convert himself into a living
arsenal in order to keep intruders out OF
the polling place, as was the case at the
Republican primary. Nor was it at any
time necessary to have IL policemen on
hand to keep order as was the case at
the Republican primary. No policemen
were there and none we're required.
In the Eighth ward there was a con-
test. There were two tickets in the
fiela. One was printed on red and blue
paper, and one on white paper. There
wac no material difference between the
two tickets. With the exception of
eight namee, the tickets were identical,
and carried the same parties az dele
gates.
At O'Clock it was plainly evident that
the white ticket was the one that would
probably have majority. The parties
who were working the red and blue
tickets noted this, and gave up the
struggle. For the first time in years, no
fight occurred at the primary polling
place in the Eighth ward. There was a
large turnout OF voters, and this fact
added considerable excitement to the
occasion. Everything passed of salts.
factorily and decently at the polls. The
Democrats of the ward to large extent
embraced the opportunity to designate
who they desiled to represent them in
the county convention.
ON BOYLE HEIGHTS.
In the Ninth ward an animated con-
test was indnlged in by the placing in
the field of two tickets. The ticket that
endorsed ex-Mayor Workman was ected
by over to1. The following is the
vote caet: r. Bernard, 10; F. Biggy,
1877; Chas. E. Blake, 40; Geo. A. Webb,
1853; Ohas. A. Bell, III; j. j. McGreal,
1859; L. v. Glasscock, 189; Tom Hyans,
100; Harry L. White, 191 1. N. Cochran,
1872; w. Frame, 1856; w. H. Work
man, 1877; Henry Gerke, 1856; G.. H.
Thompson, 1928; E. r. Threlkeld, 80; s.
Arguello, 25; j. P. Rogers, 80; E.
Eyraud, 20; w. B. Nichols, 81; d. w.
Hudson, 20; F. Montigo. So; and John
@. Proctor, 80. The result of the elec-
tion is victory for M-. Workman, and
the delegation elected by such an over
whelming majority will possibly present
his name for chairman.
In this ward no one was allowed to
vote whose name was not on the great
register, or unless he had a certificate OF
registration. There were no fights, the
contests being conducted in an orderly
and respectable manner.
THE GENERAL RESULT.
As to the general result of yesterday q
polling, nothing can be stated authori.
tatively or with certainty. Not single
ticket elected in any ward is pledged to
the candidacy of any one for any Office.
The ticket will be nominated in the
convention after it assemblies. Nothing
has been cooked or prearranged to stuff
down the throats of delegates, whether
they will or not. This may be Republi-
can convention tactics, but not Demo
cratic.
The delegates will be asked to select
only the best men, who in their opinion
will make a winning race before the
people. The fitness of men for the posi-
tions they aspire to. will be considered,
as well as their standing in the commu-
nifty they desire to serve.
The following delegates have been
elected from the nine wards of the city I:
In the First ward there was great
deal of interest manifested, the vote be-
ing the largest ever cast at q primary
1853. There was but one ticket in the
held, and it was unanimously chosen as
follows. The delegates favor James
Hanley for supervisor. They are: @.
NJ. Hayden, O. L. Cruz, J. H. Simpson
M. M. Brothers, T. s. Meredith, A. Gun.
ZACH, j. E. Yoakum, G. II. Langbein. ].
e. Frick, Jos. Mesmer, Peter White,
Henry Gibbs, J. A. G. Martinez, John
Donahue, Alfred Moore. jr., Geo. G.
