Republican primaries for the election
of delegates to the Congressional and
local conventions We're held throughout
the city last night In the lower section
of the city everything was quiet, so
quiet in fact that the primary clerks
wondered whether voters understood that
an election was to be held. There was
an indifference shown which is regarded
by many as a harbinger of defeat. Sew
eral old time Republicans. who, hereto
fore. have taken an active interest in the
primaries, declined to vote, one remark
ing
What is the use of wasting time at
a primary. Everything is cut and dried
and primaries are great big bluffs This
scheme of certain men debating norni-
nations sis tiresome One crowd wants
to run things and If it can all right,
but it will not be done with my vote.
Rings and gangs don't go any more
In other parts of the city there were
fights. not contests, just plain fights. 1t
wouldn't be a Republican primary with
out a fight. In many precincts fraud is
charged and not without foundation it is
said. This sort of trickery is always
hushed up, however, as soon as possible
by the obedient members of the Appeals
Committee. Last nights primaries served
to create greater disruption in the party
and it is probable there will he lively
times at the conventions for the nomina-
tion OF men for local offices.
The Congressional delegates have al
ready received their instructions and
viii doubtless do the bidding of the, self
appointed boss, Samuel D. Dickinson.
The Congressional convention will meet
in Bergen Hall, March 80. City Treas
urer Dickinson will DE one of the deIe-
gates to the National Convention. He
viii be accompanied by either Sheriff
Toffey or Congressman McEwan. Boss
Dickinson is not going to interfere in the
fight of the other gentlemen. Mr. Dick
inson says his vote. will go for either
Mckinley or Reed, preferably the former
He does not favor Morton.
The local nominations will doubtless be
made according to the slate made up by
the machine. 1t is said by some that
Commissioners Hooker and Patterson
faEe captured sufficient number of
delegates to get renominated. There is
dissatisfaction, however, and both those
gentlemen will be uneasy until the con-
vention is held. There are, it Is reported,
several dark horses in the race, who, if
not nominated will have friends enough
to snow Messrs. Hooker and Patterson
under on election day.
water. They realize there is opposition
to the denomination of Messrs. Hooker
and Patterson, but they do not care to
turn them down, as II might be con-
strued into a rejection upon the present
administra ton. They find consolation in
the fact that even if Hooker and Patter-
Street and Water Board with its exten-
sive patronage, will still be ia their con-
troll and will remain 80 until after the
Mayoralty fight of 1897.
The nominating convention will meet
in Kessler's Hall on March q; To find
hard time.
