the Fourth ward, in order to maintain the
reputation of that district, there were
I two tickets, but both bore the same list
of names, so the difference was in form
! only. The primaries were held in the
same places that the democrats used ear
lier in the week and all of them presented
most forlorn appearance. The vote In
the wards averaged about, 80 and the
judges had not enough to do to keep them
warm. Even nature protested against re-
publicans holding so much as primary
elections for, as soon as the polls opened
