VICTORY FOR HASTINGS.
There Is Little Doubt That LuEerne Has
Fallen Into Line.
There Is little doubt that Hastings
has achieved a magnificent victory in
Luzerne county in the fight at the Re-
publican primaries last Saturday. Out
Of the nine state delegates to go to the
convention from Luzerne there Is little
doubt that seven will be for Hastings.

the state convention are as follows:

In the first district DIR. W. @. Weaver
win certainly go to the state convention
as a delegate, and Hon. H. W. Palmer
can 60 II he will announce himself for
Hastings. If he refuses to do this. then
the district convention will choose
man who will announce himself, prob
ably Attorney A. L. Williams. How
ever, in any case, 1t may be counted on
that Wilkes-Barre city will send two
administration men to the state con-
vention. The delegates who go to the
district convention tonight will not
take any fooling in this matter, and II
Mr.. Palmer wants to 60 to this conven-
tion, he must come out fat-footed for
Hastings.
In the Second. district, West Pittston
and Exeter went solidly for Quay. and
the first newe made the adherents Of
the senator very happy. When the
later returns began ITO come in, how
ever, and the other districts went all
for Hastings, It began to look black
and Hastings has probably carried the
district.
G3oward Armstrong, the Quay man in
the Thin1 DISTRICT, failed utterly. being
beaken in his own town, Plymouth,
three to one. Nanticoiee went solid for
Wren and Oldfeld and other parts of
the district were all Tor Hastings. 1t is
In this district that Hon. George w.
Shonl, Q close friend Of Quay, has been
making q hard fight for Armstrong,
but despite his efforts Armstrong was
beaten soundly.
In the Fourth, everything went for
Hastings, although the Quay men made
a VI
M. Davis. of Philadelphia, were in this
region fighting the Hastings battle all
day Saturday. In this district the bat
tile was hotter than any political fight
ever seen in the county. Hazleton city
went SOLID for Hastings, and at Upper
Lehigh, Lattimer, Stockton, ETC., there
was little opposition to the administra-
tion man.
The result ds little bit doubtful in
the Fifth, which the Hastings people
had not wabched, and as a consequence
Quay men. getting IN some quiet work.
did very well. getting eight out Of
twelve men In Pttston alone. It may
be chat Smith Is beaten here, but the
vote will be close.
Detro carried tho sixth, althougf,
John Graham made a good fight. In
Ashley Graham got two out of three,
but In the near by districts the vote
was about all Hastings, and Detro will
probably represent that district in the
state convention.
Used the Priests Name.
Michael MarsinkouslSi, a Polander,
was arrested on Saturday night and
taken before Alderman Honeywell for
