EXCELLENT PRIMARIES.
ABLE DELEGATES WILL GO TO
THE COUNTY CONVENTION
NEXT SATURDAY.
In Spite of the Rain Good Meetings
Were Held Everywhere-Large
Number of Ladies Turn Out to Ex-
ercise Their Rights-Reports From
Outside Precincts.

The fact that the rain was pouring
down at the time set for the republi-
can primaries last evening did not de-
ter a large number from turning out
n exercising their rights of suffrage.
In the three wards 2O4 people cast
their ballots-quite a contrast when
compared with the so that assembled
at the cut-and- dried democratic pri-
maries. A large number of ladies turn
ed out last night and all classes of
business and labor were represented.
The utmost harmony prevailed and at
b present time no n can tell who
will be the nominees of the convention
to be held on Saturday next

gates are among the very best of the
citizens of Albany county and may be
depended upon to place a ticket in the
held which will be a winner. Aside
from the county ticket, they fully real
lie the great importance of having a
legislative delegation fully capable of

in the county and state and skilled in
parliamentary practice. The demo-
Gratis have seen fit to place a very weak
