Forecasts as to particular wards have
been proven fallacious by the results.
Mr.. Warner and his friends reconed
on a small representation for Clough
in the Seventh ward delegation. They
do not get even one delegate, and Eli
himself had to take a dose of defeat.
He says that he expected it, however.
1t was in this ward alone that any in
dication was found of the spirit Of
local pride" which Capt. Castle and
others relied on to pull Gen. Clapp
through victorious. In the other wards
the fight was fully as bitter as in the
Seventh, but the workers were less par
ticular as to who voted G o e re-
porters saw many men putting In bal
lots who had previously voted at Dem
ocratic primaries but a short time ago;
and who. in fact. are always at the COM
mand of their friends to vote at any
sort of primaries. They usually vote
under names other than their own, and
before they go to the booth post them
selves as to a good place of residence
In several precints the primaries were
mere farces, for the reason that the
men in charge were all for one candi-
date and accepted votes from anybody.
1t is only proper to say, too, that the
ballots Illegally cast were not all for
one man. The extent to which the
wrong voting was carried on depended
on the character of the men engaged to
look after the getting out of the vote.
Neither Clapp nor Clough would feel
much pride in some of the workers who
ran the primaries; but in many instan-
ces honorable, earnest citizens were out
working for their favorites Some Of
these good men were most beautifully
hoodwinked and even a paSser-by
could see the role of the button-holder
was new to them. Below will be found
the result by wards:
FIRST WARD.
The First ward results were only partially
obtained, will be seen. The Third, Fifth,
Sixth and Eleventh known to the Clough
men. In fact, the County Committee, OF which
Fred Bryant is secretary, estimated the re-
suit as seven for Clapp and 80 for Clough.

The returns received last evening give the
ward to Clough, although in some instances
by a close vote. The figures show the vote
was light one and represents possibly
one-third of the full strength of the party
vote. Only one ticket was voted in the 9TH
precinct. That was a Clapp ticket and 50
ballots were cast.
The delegates elected from the second and
eighth precincts go to the convention unin-
structed, but it is generally understood in
these precincts they will vote for Gov.
