DETAILS OF THE CONTEST.
There Was Little Repeating and the Day
Really Passed Quietly.

Really PaSSeu VuiSuS'
Philadelphia, Aug. 2O.-The Repupn-
can county primaries were held tonight
for the election of delegates to the con-
vention to be held tomorrow Tor the
nomination OF county officers and dele
gates to the state convention. Ihe
county officers to be nominated are
district attorney, coroner, judge OF the
common pleas court, recorder OF deeds
and clerk OF the court of quarter ses-
sions. Practically little interest IS
taken in the result for county officers,
as, with the exception OF office or re-
corder Of deeds, Of which the present in
cumbent Is Democrat, all the present
officers are assured of denomination
at tomorrow's conventions.
The whole interest at tonight's pri-
maries centred in the election. OF dele
gates to the state convention and the
result OF tonights primaries will in all
probability decide the winner in the
factional fight now raging in the Re
publican ranks of Pennsylvania, be-
tween Senator Quay and Governor
Hastings, and the Republican leaders
of Philadelphia and Phtsburg.
Quay Gets Seventeen Delegates.
The battle at the polls tonight result
ed in victory for Senator Quay. The
delegates from Philadelphia, but to-
night he won seventeen and seven are
in the doubtful column. Mr.. Quay car
ried the Second Third Fourth. Seventh,
Eighth, Fifteenth, Twenty-fourth,
Twenty-seventh, Thirtieth and Thirty
fourth wards. which gives him seven
teen delegates. Mr.. Quay met with a
setback in the First ward, which he
expected to carry with its four dele
gates, but tonight the administration
forces are confidently claiming this
ward, while the Quay people say 1t Is
doubtful.
Mr.. Quay's greatest victories We're in
the Fifteenth and Twenty-fourth
wards. The Fifteenth ward was Mayor
Warwick's own, and in this Mr.. Quay
beat his honor not only in the ward, but
in the mayors own division. Repre-
sentative Peltz, a stalwart administra-
ton man. is the Republican leader in
the Twenty-fourth ward, and he was
defeated by Senator Thomas, the Quay
leader, in that senatorial district. 1t Is
probable that two conventions will be
held in several districts tomorrow and
two sets of delegates elected and the
committee on credentials at the state
convention will have to decide between
them.
Little Trouble at tho Polls.
Contrary to expectations there was
little trouble at the polls tonight, and
| only few arrests were made for re-
peating. Senator Quay has claimed for
the past week he could be elected with
out Phladelphias delegates and he said
tonight that the result Of the primar ries
simply clinched his victory. Mr.. Quay
will leave here Thursday for Harris
burg. where ne will remain until the
convention.
The administration leaders do not
concede to Mr.. Quay seventeen dele
gates, but only fourteen. and David
Martin, the Republican leader. claims
that even with these fourteen delegates
Mr.. Quay cannot be elected state chair
man.
