While the ante-convention campaign has
been one of the live1est experienced in
this county for many a day, the primaries
were especially distinguished last night by
the harmony that prevailed. The large
number of candidates for the nominations
bespeaks the general confidence of Repub-
lican success that is felt in this neighbour
hood; and yet so determined are Republic
ans to win that personal controversies and
pettey differences disappear in the gen
eral determination to pat their Shout
ders to the wheel and work for the
triumph of honest principles and for the
discontinue of Reputation and disaster
Another unusual feature observed last
night was the great interest taken in the
primaries by the voters. Seldom are pri-
maries as generally well attended as they
were last night. In every ward immense
