RUTAN WORN OUT BY HIS EARD FIGHT

More complete returns of Saturdays Re-
publican primaries bear out the statements
as to the winners in yesterdays DISPATCH.
United States Senatorship was made the
issue. The only places this was brought out
were in the two fights in Allegheny and in
the Seventh and Eighth Legislative dis
tricts. The Quay forces were victorious
in all save the Seventh Legislative district,
and that is a matter for Providence and the
delegates to decide. 1t is beyond the ken
of any politician still in the flesh. This
district is composed of all the boroughs and
townships north of the Allegheny and Ohio
rivers. The candidates are Quail, Ritchie,
Kroeson, Wallace, Patterson and Smith.
There was no fixed combination, and the
only thing known now is that a
sufficient number of delegates were
elected. Affairs are so mixed, however,
that no one knows how they will vote to-
morrow. Each delegate will vote for two
men, and but few of them have hit on the
same combination. For example, one dele
gate was at the Tariff Club last night who
was generally reputed to have been for
Quail and Wallace, but he says he will cast
his votes for Quail and Ritchie in the con-
vention. 1t is the hardest district in the
State to tell anything about, and, as Sheriff
McCleary said last night, "You are never
sure in that district until the Chairman of
the convention announces the winners"
Gained Strength When He Quit.
In the Seventh Legislative Convention
{rro oh nd
on the next ballot got 300 more votes than
he had on the one on which he withdrew.
In Allegheny the returns only confirmed
the report of yesterday In the Independ-
ent district Marshall and Mcdonald will go
into the convention with 1922 votes to
Rutan's 9l5. Muhlbronner and Wertheimer
i'll the First district have e,7H votes to Har-
bison and Robinson's 1877.
Stewart. in the Eighth district, which COM
prises the boroughs and townships between
the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, in
Guiding Mckeesport, wins out over Walker,
though the majority is not large. In the
Forty fifth Senatorial district DR.. Barchfield
admits defeat. He claims more delegates
than Senator Steele, but Barchfield's repre-
sentation in votes falls short.
Yesterday everything was quiet and there
but few more cries OF fraud. Ex-senator
Rutan was SO completely worn out that he
could not be seen, and spent most of tho
day in bed. He expects to go East this
morning.
The County Committee returns awakened
but little interest, as there was no opposi-
ton, but the names of Judge Stowe and Cor
oner Mcdowell drew out a very creditRble
vote. The County Convention meets in the
Duquesne Theater at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning and will nominate Judge Stowe and
Coroner Mcdowell. 1t will also nominate
II. W. Ochse, of Etna, for Poor Director.
Only the boroughs and townships will take
part in this nomination.
Rarchfleld Satisfied With His Fight.
DR.. Barchfield said yesterday that he was
perfectly satisfied with the fight he had
made. Said he: 81 will go into the conven-
tion with more delegates than Steele, but
will probably be in the neighborhood of
1000 votes short. 1 would have won out
easily if could have carried l6 districts in
the city, and would have done so
if some of my delegates had not
been pulled of. I now have IS delegates
OF the l3 districts heard from to-day l car
ried ] l, and of the 81 yet to hear from feel
sure 1 will carry Is. That will give me 49,
instead of 81. as 1 said last night. or the
country districts heard from to-day carried
the First. Second, Third and Sixth cf Miffiin,
lost the Fifth, and the Seventh is doubtful
lost the First in Jefferson, but will win out
in the other three"
The following telegram was received by
the doctor:
"Glory to God, We have carried both I'm
perial districts, Beech Cliff, Halfcrown,
Clinton and Second Moon district
