tions In That City Yesterday.-A Victory
for tho Anti-Qnay Poroes.

anti-Quay forces has been wsgod FOR
months and the opposing factions
lined up'' in the sheriff convention.

faction won. nominating James l..
Miles by GIT votes against Alexander
Grow. Jr., the leader OF the Quayites,
who received $40 votes.
There was much confusion and ey-
citement in the convention ana it was
necessary to cell in the police to pre-
serve order.
-Four candidates for State Senator
were chosen, two of them, Francis A.
Osborn and John O. Grady, being re-
Nominated without opposition. George
Handy Smith, who has been in the
Senate for 20 years, was defeated by
George A. Ware, a Quay man. The
smith adherents bolted the convention
and nominated Smith. The fight to
succeed Senator Charles A. Porter was
also very bitter. Henry r. Walton, a
former Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, was chosen to lead the adj
ministration forces. Charles L. Brown
was his opponent. Both sides claimed
victory in last nights primaries. To-
day the Walton people got possession of
the convention hall and refused to
admit Browns delegates. Walton was
nominated and Browns delegates held
a convention and nominated their man
also.

trict was vigorously fought for.

vention.
There were contests in nearly all of
the 2S representative districts and in
several OF them the conventions split
and double nominations resulted.
