Republican Vote.

A Dozen and One Tickets i'm the
FieId--The Fifth Ward Full of
Them--HOw the Day Passed.
Everything Quiet.
Local politicians, aspirants for county
officers, and their followers put in
a hard days work at the primaries to-
day. Knots of men we're busy in whisper
ing conversations, preparing tickets for a
delegation that favored this or would
knock out that man. Printers were kept
busy printing tickets which were general
ly brought by a breathless worker who
wanted them right on sight, and always
left with a reproof to the printer mot to
give it away" There was scurrying,
skirmishing and button-hOling, and few
citizens entitled to vote, escaped the grasp
of the ward worker, who always approached
with a smile as cheering as the aspirant for
Office
At the various polling places there was
not quite so much animation. Invariably
the worker got in his best lcks long before
the polls were reached, and the voter
simply deposited his ballot.
There were several ticket in the field, the
greatest number being in the Fifth ward
In the Second ward a watering pot served
as a ballot box. 1t was covered with &
sheet of paper, and marked with the IN
