THE PRiMARIEs-KIRrLAND vs..

A
The Republican primaries In the
city Thursday afternoon were IN
marred by single rupture except In
the usually peaceful third ward. All
the wards had assembled In public
caucus and selected each . ticket,
which were voted for ut the pri-
maries without opposition. The
people were unanimous for our
fellow-citizen, T. r. Carver, for
Attorney-Gen and while being
considerably "cut up" on Governor,
pooled their issues on Mr.. Carver
and so peace, unanimity and good
nature predominated.
The exception was, as might be
anticipated, between two newspaper
men. As 10 IL we'll known, the
editors Of the Republican and Jour-
NAL pass each other by without 90
much ss nodding to each other; the
war between them 10 irreconcilable.
At the third ward caucus WEDNESDAY
evening, Mr.. Bristow, Of the Re
publican, was chosen q delegate by |
- votes 10 II against him, and Mr.. |
Kirkland .as defeated for delegate |
by y votes against to IL for him. |
Our information IL that Bristow had |
the affair "cut and dried" had all
his Office force there, etc. The fact |
that Mr.. Kirkland had opposed Mr..
Carver had initiated against him,
but 10 was conceived that rs lie had
finally come forward in support Of
Mr.. Carver, by voting for the
resolution Of the caucus To endorse
him, etc, the opposition TO Mr..
Kirkland being n delegate should
have dropped there. The next
thing MIR. Kirkland could do In self
respect was tn come out as q can
didate for delegate before the
primaries and he did a., subtitut-
Ing his name for that of Mr.. Bris-
tow on the ticket. He made the
fight almost singie-hsnded, and the
result was SO votes for Kirkland aud
~ for Bristow. He made Mr.. Bris-
low and his half dozen particular
friends almost have an attack Of the
sgue and nearly scared out Of their
boots. The majority Of these IS
votes were In condemnation Of the ,
course Of J. l.. Bristow i'm under ,
aking to override people who
night stand in his way, and Mr..
Kirkland came nearer receiving the
PERSONAL endorsement Of the resi- ,
tents Of the third ward than Mr..
Bristow did in his NJ votes. Mr.. !
8ristow had the leverage Of the / !
'aucus nomination, and IL was the ,
means Of giving him q good many
totes. And indeed IL IL a question
the Bristow hacks had not been
ent to the Wesleyan College he
would have been successful. In all
aspects 10 II a sort Of negative or
hould be an exasperating victory to J
lin. IL IL had been q contest be- c
ween BrIstow and Kirkland, pure f,
nd simple, Kirkland would have !,
gon by odds.
The community will survive the u
ontest OF the newspaper men, and a
IL perfectly legitimate for them to u
var. Why not: Ii gives spice to .
