The ballots cast at the postal pri-

City Government have been counted,
and the result of that primary ballot is
given in brief above, and below in de-
tail
OF the 4S00 votes which Secretary
Walton estimates were sent out 1860
were cast for mayor There were about
HOO votes sent to ward members who
Fau uAI 10, fv,o n, rot.
The result of the ballot is that the
Republican city ticket has been very
generously indorsed. There were six
nominations. made by postal primary
five Republicans and one Democrat.
Captain C. H. Hance defeated Charles
l.. Wilde for city clerk, and the former
gentleman is now practically assured
OF an election.
In the vote for mayor julius H. Mar
Tin, Republican, leads M. p. Snyder, the
anti-water company candidate, SO votes
Snyder carried the Sixth. Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth wards over Martin.
while Martin carried the first five wards
Of the city.
This vote cast for Mr.. Snyder under
the circumstances is remarkable, and
it proves conclusively that he is the
next mayor of the city-the Los Ange-
les City Water company. the Southern
Pacific Railroad company and their or
gan, the Los Angeles Times, to the con-
trary Notwithstanding
George H. Stewart polled handsome
vote, and he may be nominated in the
convention. The vote polled by r. E..
Rowan was not large. Mr.. Rowan's per-
sonal friends aided him with their bal
lots to the number of 200.
T. W. Brotherton also received a very
respectable vote, which. under the cir
cumstances, is In every way satisfac-
tory to his friends.
The domination for mayor will now go
into the convention. Messrs Stewart
Martin and Snyder will probably be the
candidates before the convention.
The city hall gang made diligent eff
fort to give the nomination to Martin
by the postal ballot but they failed. The
allied villainies also labored to this end.
The same. influences will now go to work
in the convention to throw the nomina-
ton to Martin.
The water company and the Southern
Pacific are willing to make any kind of
sacrifice to secure the defeat of Sny-
der. Their great fight now will be to Sc
cure the Endorsement of Martin by the
League convention,
In selecting Captain c. H. Hance for
city clerk the League has made no mis-
take. Captain Hance is one of the pio-
neer citizens of Los Angeles, and he will
make a competent official,
The nomination Of VIII e. Dunn for
city attorney was expected. No one con-
tested, but 66s voters refused to vote for
him.
j. H. Dockweiler received handsome
vote for city engineer, but not enough
to nominate him. The city hall gang will
strive 10 secure the nomination of G. s.
Compton, whois also satisfactory to the
water company.
John Drain has been indorsed for stree,
superintendent by q party vote. The
League is made up of about three Re.
publicans,'to one Democrat. Drain got
his party vote, but he ia not elected yet
by long, odds.
George Hull is in the lead for assessor
but the convention will have to nominate
him. Jim. Meredith got good vote and
so did James G. Hayes.
Boyle Workman was turned down fol
the reason that he was not Repub-
lican. Nevertheless Mr. Workman's
friends Will care for his interests at tht
polls in December.
For councilmen five Republicans have
been tndorsed, one Populist and tive
Democrats, In the First ward there ii
no choice.
The delegates elected to the conven.
tion are uniformly good class of citi.
zens, though they are. of course, Repub,
licans largely, when 1t comes to matter,
political.
The city hall gang got nearly every.
thing 1t started out for except mayo,
and city engineer, Mr.. StockWell wal
also turned down in the First ward
greatly TO the disgust of the contingent
at the municipal building.
THE RESULT
.is -
