HUGE WARD MEETINGS
Republican Primary Vote Equals
the Last Election 0utpOuring.
List Of the Delegates to the State and
Congressional Conventions
Several Contests.

next Wednesday and the congressional con-
vention next Tuesday afternoon brought
out unusually large crowds in every pre-
einct in the city. In many OF them the
vote cast at the primary was equal TO that
cast at the last county election and nearly
as full as that cast for Harrison for Presi-
dent in 1892 In all OF them there was
great deal OF enthusiasm. In many of the
wards there were lively contests between
several rival tickets, the number running as
high as four tickets in one ward. These
contests, while they were hot and brought
INTO play all the abilities Of the promoters
OF each. were all good natured- The preva-
lence OF these tickets was probably due
10 the large number of candidates from
Marion county this year Each of them
had friends In different wards striving to
get representation upon the delegations,
and the result was that the primaries were
all largely attended by many persons who
have seldom attended similar meetings in
the past There was a total absence of any
illegitimate movements TO carry the states
through by underhand methods or in con-
travention Of the wishes of the majority
Of those present. The contests were be-
tween friends who for the time being were
opposing each other. The side that mus
tered the largest number of followers was
the one To succeed.
There are contesting delegations in the
Fifth and Tenth Wards. In the former the
contestants claim that the meeting was
called to order at 722. instead of $780,
and that the chairman. Frank Jones. re-
fused TO accept motions properly put and
that Democrats were permitted to vote
The opponents called a meeting at which
DR.. o. b. Pettijohn presided.
In the Seventh Ward the following reso-
buttons were adopted
Resolved, That the delegates TO the State
convention from the Seventh Ward be in
structed TO vote for and use all honorable
means TO bring about the nomination of
our citizen, Hon. w. L. Taylor. for the
office of Attorney-general, and that they
zealously. earnestly and diligently remain
in his support so long as there is a posi-
billy Of success
