VI Tile SlO VOTES. In the Filth ward Mr..
Ives had signal victory. In the
Sixth ward the contest was closer. The
result was surprise to Mr.. Ives and
his friends as we'll as to DR.. Williams.
Ives in the Fourth
In the Fourth ward the only contest
was between John Hives and Cornelius
Williams, the candidates for nomination
for stale senator. Ives won hands down.
In the Third precinct. out of $50 votes
the total number cast-the Ives dele
gates received $50. and the Williams
delegates 80 votes. In the Second
precinct Williams was utterly routed,
the Ives delegates receiving 123 out of
the l25 votes cast.
This result would seem TO be a victory
for DE Witt Cochran, the candidate for
nomination for the lower house, as it is
understood that Cochran cast his lot
| with Ives
There was only one ticket of dele
gates to the county convention. and il
| received unanimous support. The del

How the Fifth Ward Went
The primaries in the Fifth ward
moved off smoothly and satisfactorily.
AT the First, near Ramsey,on West Sew
enth street, good vote was polled.
There was no opposition to John h.
Ives for state senator. George T. Red
dington was the choice of theFifth ward
| i'll all three districts for representative,
there being no opposition.
In the Second district, $40 West
Seventh street, Ives was also favorite.
Everything here passed off quietly. 1t
was intimated there that there was some
| sort of split further up the line i'll the
next district.
At 920 West Seventh street the Third
district primaries were held. Here sat
William BannholZer and " lillian Knob
loch, who were kept busy assisting
voters in the exercise of their sutferages.
Sixth Ward Contest
| In the Sixth ward there was battle
royal over both delegations. and large
crowd came to the comm ittee room last
night representing two factions. One
side asserted that the ballot box had
been switched at the Second precinct,
while the other side came in with the
ballot box guarded by three police
mel, and stated that one of
the judges had locked the box.
| put the key in his pocket and another
| had snatched the return sheets. The
| other crowd brought in the ballot box
| with the tickets therein and wanted the
| tickets counted in the committee room.
This the committee refused to do but
| locked the box up in the vault of the city
| clerk. There will be the usual contest
| before the conventions from this ward
! today.
1t was well.known fact several days
ago that there would be fig lit in this
ward over the selection of candidate
| for the legislature. One faction, op-
| posed to the gang" has been making
| a splurge on what it is pleased to term
| the principles of ''reform De mocracy"
| Otto l.. Haese is at the head of the
! movement, and was pushed forward by
| the MeladyS for the nomination of
representative. On the other hand the
name of William r. Hawthorne was
presented as Haese's opponent for the
| legislature with such good people on the
"HilP' as Senator Llenau, and Frank
| Baer back of him. while down on the
| flat" in the Italian and Hebrew First,
| Second and Third precincts Oscar Tank
| enotf, the king of the Hebrews, and
Aaron Poupeney got the residents of
the flats in line for Hawthorne. because,
| Tankenotf explained, he wanted to see
| the Melady faction downed. 1t was
| evident from the start that the Haw-
| thorne ticket would win, and on the hill
| it was winner 3 to l. An unusually
| large vote was cast in the First, Second
| and Third precincts. The Hawthorne
ticket won easily. as did the county del
| egates accompanying it. There was
no real trouble at any OF the pre-
| cincts until the judges began count
ing the Second precinct vote. The in
tereSt all centered there. When the
polls were declared closed. and judges
Gaughan, Zimmerman and Guion began
counting the ballots. the deniZens of the
flats began to return from their SUD-
pers. They crowded and pushed about
the doors, and several times the officers,
of whom there were four on duty.
were compelled to clear the sidewalk
When $50 came, and the vote was
not announced, the crowd began to
murmur. Eugene Melady and Oscar
Tankenof took turns at abusing each
other for talking through hole in the
window at the Judges. AT Q O'Clock
there were signs of ructiOn inside the
voting booth. One of the judges told
Tankenoff the Hawthorne ticket had
won Dy vote of 1876 to A for Haese's
delegates, and this Hawthorne contin-
gent cheered loud and long. at doesn't

judges; "they've stuffed the ballot box,

lady; "hang on to the ballot box and
the records"
1.-The judges will take care of the ballot
box" yelled Takenoif, and hoarse cry
of approval welled up from the rabble.
The excitement was becoming intense.
Part of the Sixth Quiet.
The Democratic primary at Hall ave-
nue. and Dearborn street, covering the
Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh precincts,
was conducted very quietly. For the
legislature the contest lay between Otto
l.. Haese and William r. Hawthorne
for representative, with Cornelius
Williams and John Ii. Ives for senator,
respectively. The legislative ticket
aroused the most interest, the delega-
tion being definitely instructed as
above. On the county ticket instruction
had been given by the Haese faction
honly, Thomas Tierney being their
choice for county commissioner aud L..
Casserly for county auditor. The
Hawthorne crowd, however, de- |
sired an uninstructed county dele

Frank w. Baer for county commits

Although the Haese party displayed the |
most confidence, neither side appeared |
to feel at all sure of the result. Not the |
semblance of disturbance ruffied the |
serenity of the voters.
