Has the Best of It-Burns Keeping
Out of Sight.
80 The one absorbing topic of conversation
IN political circles Yesterday was the result
of the Republican primaries and its prob
able effect upon the party during the COM
ling campaign. Nothing else was talked OF
in the hotel Hobbies, the street-cars, on the
street corners and wherever else men do
congTegate to exchange views and discuss
matters of mutual interest. Nor were the
Republicans the only ones TO review the
battle, for the Democrats, both those VINO
locked idly on and these who got In ana
fought were keeuly alive 10 the Importance
Of The event and went over the matter ID ali
its details.
At All Kearny street the returns were
closely watched by the representatives of
the opposing factions. and four or FIVE stall
vart policemen lounged about TO see that
the ballots were not hammered with Num-
bers OF people came and went during the
day and the bitterness of the contest
seemed to have been forgotten, although
one Kelly heeler declared that Saturdays
fight WOuld make the war between the two
factions only the more intense. This
seemed. however. not to be the prevailing
sentiment, and many Of those who had
been defeated INDUCED in iests at their own
expense.
OF course nothing of an official nature can
be learned about the result until the Re-
turning Board meets tomorrow night, but
as il now stands there seems to be no doubt
but that tie Burns Wilson faction elected a
majority Of the delegates from this city. in
GLIDING George A. Knight, who probably
has quite a substantial majority over Cen
eral Barnes
So far as could be learned with any res-
scnable degree of accuracy the result is as
follows:
2 KELLY AND CRrMNINs. REPUBLICAN ALLIANCE.

The above returns. which are approx
matelv correct at least, are nearly in line
with lhe prediction made in The CALL on
q April 70 that the Alliance would secure 81
delegates to - for Kelly and Crimmins.
While it is net absolutely positive that
Barnes was beaten by Knight. there seems
tn be but little doubt that such is the fact.
Q The belief is based on the showing that in
nearly all districts carried by the Alliance
. the majorities we're larger than those in the
districts captured by Kelly and CTimmins.
There is also evidence to show that Barnes
was badly scratched In some places.
THE POLICE CRITICIZED.
Both factions of the party were busily
engaged yesterday IN eTltclziug the police.
The Kelly men Claim that IN several places
the officers Of the force took active part
against them, and the followers o. Burns
are equally loud IN asserting that they had
the Wcrst of Il. In some O the districts, for
instance 1t is said that police officers car
ried Kelly ballots about IN their pockets
and quietly handed them out to voters.
Especially is this charged in the Thirtieth
and F0rty-ffth districts The truth Of the
matter seems to be that the officers acted
with COED deal Of fairness ana took no
part with either faction.
In few instances it is probable that the
fremen were in the fight, bat as o rule they
kept aloof and avoided any participation.
p. | is net believed that more than half
dozeu Of the entire number even went TO the
pOii9.
Boih Kelly and Crimmins kept out Of
sight Yesterday, and did not appear al their
p usual haunts at any time during the day.
: Il was reported that Kelly had gone to the
baths and that CrmminS was resting at
home. However It may be they were not
10 he found, but one OF Crimmins' friends
claimed to have seen him and reported that
"Phillie" YVES hopeful Of yet securing ma
jorIty OF the delegation. No figures were
given on which to base the claim, but il was
intimated that some changes might be made
by the returning board when it meets TO-
night
ONE on QUINN.
Neither Burns nor Wilson were at the
Headquarters, but John c. Quinn was
around as usual, and evidently pleased with
the results.
About O'clock be wandered into the
rooms Of the Alliance. A few moments
later rusty looking individual sauntered
in and took a seat in the secretary'5 room.
looking up at Quinn he said: well, Mr.
CrinmiEs, we did the best We could for you
out in the Thirtieth. but we got beat Nc
Murry, the plasterer, told US to get in for
you and we did, but they were too much
:. for u.s."
Il think you are mistaken" was the reply
"Crimmins is a sm0oth-faced man. My
name is Kelly"
''Ah, Mr.. Kelly. 1 am glad to see you.
But say, you're pretty decent looking
man. Railways thought you were pretty
.. hard bat but after looking at you don't
believe you are halt as bad as the news
papers say you are"
Qalnn walked away and his friend went
.ah0me satisfied.
= Down in the Forty-ffth they tell story
Of the boss repeater. Jack Martin fshed
ing coal His face was black as ink and
Martin voted him. A few moments later
;tbecoal dust was washed off and he cast his
second ballot. A barber removed his beard
forthe third dash at tie polling place and
. then his mustache went by the board. His
fourth ballot went in with the loss Of the
..nustsche, aud a change of hats and coats
gave another vote for the Kelly aid Grim
minis ticket. Martin says the whole job
cost just 81 50,
GROWING AGAINST BURNS.
The personal followers of Wilson broke

Said one OF them last night; Burns has
not treated rs right in this matter. From
first to last he did not subscribe 60 much a:

hasn't even been seen for four days and nc
one knows yet where he is. Now his friends

One of. tile most sorely aggrieved men on
