DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELECTION.
The Democratic Primary election
in Jefferson county last Saturday was
one of the most earnestly contested
ever held in this county. The main
fight, as usual was on the sheriffalty,
and the result was victory for the
"old ticket, headed by Captain Eu-
gene Baker, over the "new ticket" led
by Robert Chew, by majority Of l89.
One of the surprises was the election
Of w. F. Alexander over Gerard D.
Moore for the county clerkship by
majority of 514. Mr. Moore is the
present incumbent, and has been
most efficient clerk, while Mr.. Alex
ander, although an excellent young
man, has never been in politics The
clerkship is the best paying Office in
the county Major A. W. Mcdonald,
silver candidate for district delegate,
defeated J. P. Kearfott by 700 ma
iority, while his running mate for the
Legislature, R. w. Morrow, on the
same platform, was defeated by J. G.
Hurst by 327 majority. ]. W. Gard
