-Four Men Knocked Hors de
Combat in the Fortieth
District.
MARTIN KELLY's BAD BLUFF.
He Asked for a Second Warrant fol
the Ballots and Was Sat Down
Upon Very Rudely.

The primary election of the Republican
party passed off quietly in this City vester-
day afternoon, there being but one oppo-
sition ticket, and that in the Thirty-sixth
Assembly District, engineered by Jack
Mccarthy, ex-policeman.
Mr.. Mccarthy DID not pan out a good
engineer. He had been given two dele
gates to represent his uninteresting inter
ests, but Mr.. McCarthy's ambition scared
higher. He wanted 10 crow on the top
roost and so he put up an opposition
ticket and last night there was nothing
left of him but the tail feathers.
There were many good men on his
ticket, but the fact that ambitious Jack
few the track had a tendency to, dump
them into that political purgatory Known
as 1.-The soup" Like the man who visited
the Bowery with more money than brains,
they will never go there any more.
The following was the Mccarthy ticket
Jack Mccarthy, w. II. Murphy. ]. Car
roll, Charles White, ii. G. Foster, L. Saw
age, Charles Duveneck, F. Crystal, jam es
Woods, J. Lorenz, n. Cleary, Robert
Thorp, Joseph Sheridan and c. II. Wedge
wood.
Club 1 in that district cast 1896
votes; Club $50 votes. In Club 1 the
regular ticket received 726 votes and Mr..
McCarthy's ticket received 6. In Club 2,
McCarthy's stronghold, he received 25S
votes to he regulars 102
In the Fortieth District there occurred a
stirring incident. A qulet-looking man
had cast his ballot for the regular ticket,
and had announced that fact rather con-
spicuously in David Shorts saloon, where
upon q stout man with thick neck and a
red face reproved him. The voter smote
him on the terminal glare of his rube scent
proboscis and sat him bleeding on the
floor.
A friend stepped up and Indignantly
protested. He received the blow in the
right eye and sat down with an uphol-
stored thud.
The third man approached the voter
and declared that such conduct was a
blank dashed shame. He was the re-
cipient, as the society reporter would say,
in the left eye of the fist of the voter, and
he broke cuspidor with his left clavicle.
Then approached the third man. He
deprecated war and advised arbitration.
Just then warclub made up of flesh and
knuckleS smote him on the klsSer, and he
fell rather ungraceiulIy, splitting the seat
OF a chair with his chin.
The whole affair being politics, no ar
rests were made.
Early in the evening two emissaries of
Martin Kelly, boodler and would-be boss,
appeared before Judge Campbell and de-
manded a search warrant for the ballots
No reason being given for this unusual
and illegal request, the Judge denied the
warrant.
1t was simply bluff, and showed the
desperate straits into which the takers
have been driven.
