urcr, street Commissioner and

The democratic primaries OF the previous
night were the chief topic Of conversation
yesterday on the streets.
AS strange MS II may seem there were
very few "kickers' over the result and
none of these were among the candidates
whose claims win he submitted to the
convention which has been called to meet
on next Tuesday. II was very generally
admitted that the primaries were the most
orderly that have been held IN this city
Tor many years. In fact. there were very
few complaints from any quarter and tho
most OF those came from the Fourth
ward (soutm and and the First ward
where It Is claimed by some that the bene-
iichrles OF the late Friendly Inn or soup
house. were voted with remarkably en-
crgctic degree of regularity. Whether of
not these complaints are wen ioWlea,
81 would be o. iart matter 90 say, but
as there was no boiling IN these wards,
d is fair to presume that the great ma-
jority OF those present at these wards
We're satisfied With the result.

the candidates and II they were disap-
pointed at the result. they would not say
