THE CITIZENS
PRIMARIES.
Some of the Wards Furnished
Surprises.
A. B. LAMB WAS DEFEATED
Candidate James Pulled Through by a
Narrow Margin in a Stubborn
Three-Cornered Fight.
|. B. LAMB WAS DEFEATED

The primaries Of the Citizens party in
town yesterday were the most interesting
held for several years on ward contests
and the vote drawn out was exceedingly
large. In the second and Third wards
the vote was the largest ever polled at a
primary and T, r. Edwards, the nominee
in the Third ward, has the honor of having
received the largest majority ever given
candidate in that ward at either
primary or election. It was after mid
night before the vote was counted.
Councilman A. B. Lamb is defeated for
re nomination after most vigorous three.
cornered fight in which he was tied by
William Neiswenter, each having received
1876 votes and both we're beaten by David
r. James, who received 1872 votes.
The Third ward gave big majority
against the proposition to have the prim-
aries hereafter held under the banner of
the Republican party, but on the whole
borough vote the proposition was defeated
by but ten votes. The First and Third
wards were against the change, and the
Second gave only a majority of four in
favor of it.
The contests for the Councilmanic
nomination in the Second ward was very
spirited. There were four strong candi
dates for the two vacancies and they
! succeeded in bringing out the largest vote
ever polled in the ward at primary.
The contest for the School Directorship
was also very interesting and the vote
cvixr Drfa "a
was supposed that his opponents strength
was much greater than the returns
/ showed.
Although the contest for the High
| Constableship was spirited one, on ac-
| count of five candidates being in the
| field, it was subservient in point of interest
to the contests for Council and School
Board. James Emanuel, the present
High Constable, is the nominee. Edward
! Mason was the second choice.
The contests for Council and School
Board in the Fourth ward was very
lively, and Daniel Reigel came within
/ seventeen votes of defeating Councilman
A. d. Gable for denomination. There
were three candidates for the School
L
defeating John A. Grant and Edward D.
Beddall.
The vote polled in the First ward was
large one, considering that there seemed
| to be little interest in the ward ticket, and
| there were no contests on the ward ticket.
