The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1896-05-03


ut stake and the only question Was the VI
fiiaase selection Of delegate TO The ma
ffouai convention, there aas rsfnsrha-
bic display OF interest IN the Republican
primaries hell yesterday, and the vote
roiied was corrsspondingiy heavy al
every precinct in the city there were Two
udyIsory tickets bearing the names re-
epecuyely of those candidates for dele
gatex 10 the county convention who Were
favorable to the selection Of Andrew r.
yuriesgh as delegate 70 the national con-
vention and those favoFing senator squire
for that position. and each Wing 81 the
party had 1T the various polling places a
force of workers engaged ia bringing out
voters and lndustsiousiy peodiiHg the tiek-
sts.
The result was that Of the ~ DELEGATES
elect from the city, I57 we're those whose
names we're on the Bnrleigh ticket, ana
but scventy.eight of those who we're on
the Squire ticket secured election. Thus
on the face Of the returns 1t would APPEAR
that 7urislgh has q clear majority Ia the
city of 70 votes.
The Eurleiah forces were msrshailed
BY Samuel III. Piles and the Squire forces
by Calvin II. Hagan- Each gentleman had
. fall force Of iieutenants. and the whole
little campaign was conducted on sysie-
matte lines. bat with the utmost good
nature on both ziaeE. There was not a
single unpleasant incident during the day.
There ives one peculiarly OF the con-
test. and that was that In the precincts
where Mr.. Burieigh led hts majority "a
. rule was overwhelming, In many IN
stances running as high az 10 TO l. willis
In the proeincts carried by the Squire
forces the maJorities were az a rule very
small. 30 In fact the popular majority for
Mr.. Burlelgh taking the city as a whole.
was even greater proportionaliy than his
majority In number OF delegates.
Tho most Interesting contest OF The day
occurred Ia the Third precinct OF the Sew
enfh ward. TAis. In addition to being the
largest voting precinct TN the city. was
the one In which Mr.. Bureigh resided.
Ills opponents were naturally DESTROYS OF
beating him there and his friends as nat
uraliy desired his success. As result 10
per cent. OF the full Republican vote OF the
precinct was polisd. and Az a further result
the Burieigh ticket sas elected through
out by o majority averaging 20
II IL fair to state thar the Squire man
ayers do not by any means admit that
the victory OF Burleigh was anythius ike
as strong ar the returns would show. In
fact. Mr.. Hsgan has figures which no
thinks show that Sauire has ma ority
Of u OF the city dsisgates.
He bases his claim on the fact alleged
chat May OF the names on the Burleigh
ticket were no. in fact BBrleish men. but
were placed there as the result Of certain
compromises effected at the caucuz.s by
which the opposiug factions agreed to III
vide the delegation between them.
That such compromises Nere In some
cases made is true. bat as a matter OF
fact they were few Ca number. and will
not seriously reduce tho Burieigh major
fly. IL the claims OF the Squire managers
were true the Burleigh mon must have
given their opponents rather more than a
majority OF the places on the tick is which
were circulated. worked and voted for as
being Burieigh tickets. which OF course Is
an absurdlty.
