Both tickets were headed: For presi-
dent William Mckinley.
The fight at Sacramento on tuesday
next will be between Gov. Sheldon and
u. S. Grant as to who should represent
the southern end of the state at st.
Louis as a delegate at large to the Re-
publican national convention. GOV.
Sheldon having the power of the Amer
lean Protective association behind him.
may succeed in knocking out the young
man from San Diego. The whole
strength of Hervey Lindley will be
thrown for Sheldon. Yesterdays coii
test has once more demonstrated be-
yond the shadow of a doubt that Col.
II. G. Otis is a prophet without honor
in his own party.
The tickets in each of the nine wards
with one exception, were headed in the
interest of William. The Sixth ward
alone split upon the proposition, two
sets of tickets being there voted, both
carrying the same names one being Ia
bled Mckinley and the other contain
ing no presidential preference. There
was no opposition to the Lindley ticket
in the Second ward, which went through
as a whole as follows:

The SEVENTY-FOURTH DISTRICT.
In the fourth ward there was no ex-
c1tement whatever, and very little cleo
tioneering. There was no opposition to
the regular caucus ticket, which was
adorned with a portrait of William Nc
kinley, although several individuals
We're scratched. The only semblance Of
| a tight was directed against William
Rommel, assistant superintendent OF
buildings, a recent proselyte from the
| Prohibition party and one of the caucus
nominees. Some of the dyed-in- the wool
Republicans who believe in a free bal
| lot and free drinks thought Br'e'r Rom
mel should be taken on probation
awhile before being made wheelhorse
| of the party. But the x-Prohibitionist
| got there with the rest of the ticket Just
| the same, only fifty ballots out Of total
| of 1874 being scratched.
| The Mckinley medicine prescribed by
| the caucus was not swallowed gracefully
IF xrhn toJ, RI
! the name of the Ohio man and substi-
| tuted that of Reed, Allison or some other
| favorite.
At least one-half of the thirty-ei
| delegates elected are known to be A. P.
| AS, and anti-Otis men. On the whole
| they may be regarded a Lindley delega-
| ton. Colonel Otis does not vote in the
| fourth ward, SO the name of H. z. Os-
| borne was not scratched.
| Following is the list of delegates elect
| ed in this ward: j. S. Myers, c. Brown,
r. Mercer, d. P. Hatch, w. H. Laws,
| G. c. Smith, C. Charnock, S. H. McClung,
! A. N. Francisco, Fred c. Gottschalk, P.

Sheldon is practically the unanimous
choice of the delegates for delegate-at-
large.
The fifth ward had about the quietest
l election of all. The polling place was
| under a big pepper tree on the corner
of Figueroa and Washington streets. The
| election officers did not have enough
| work to keep them busy, SO they sat
| around and Swapped yarns.
| There was no opposition to the caucus
| ticket, which was voted straight in every
| instance, except one. some individual,
| having scratched the name of II. j.
| Shoulders on one ticket Ninety-seven
votes were cast.
| The ticket elected is headed by T. W.
| Brotherton, the Times nominee for dis
| trict delegate to st. Louis, and as Colonel
| Otis lives in this ward and voted the
| caucus ticket straight, it would seem
| that the delegation as constituted is sat-
| isfactory to the Otis faction Neverthe-
! less, one of the delegates stated
that he considered the majority Of the
| delegation favorable to Lindley. They
| are almost a unit for General Sheldon
| for delegate-at-large, as against Boss
| Otis candidate, Ulysses S. Grant.
| II. w. Brotherton stated that he was
| not candidate for district delegate, as
| possible for him to attend either the Sac
| ramento or the st. Louis conventions.
Although the name of William McKin-
| ley at the head of the ticket as the choice
| of the Republicans of the fifth ward
| for president, was not scratched some
| of the delegates-elect stated that he was
not their first choice, but would follow
| instructions.
| Following is a list of the delegates
| elected in the Fifth ward:
T. w. Brotherton, e. F. C. Klokke, A.
| c. Shafer, A. B. Cass, ]. A. Brown, L.
| A. Barker, G. S. Dewey, II. M. Lee,
| H. j. Shoulters, c. S. Walton, Thomas
| Wolfe, S. L. Kemper, e. r. Smith, l..
| II. Valentine.
| In the Sixth ward the regular caucus
| ticket was the only one in evidence, and
| of 200 ballots cast only eleven were
| scratched. The A. p. AS were in full
| control, every man on the caucus tick
| ct, it is said being a member of that
| order.
| An active member of the order who
| was at the polls said to Herald re-
| porter: You can put our delegation
down as being solidly for Governor
| Sheldon for delegate at large. AS for
! Lindley' and Otis-well, the Republicans
| Of the Sixth ward are an Independent,
manly lot and yield to no boss dicta-
| ton. Most of us want Mckinley for
president and his name might have been
! printed at the head of our caucus tick
| ct, but when the Otis crowd sent word
| around that seemed to us to smack OF
! dIctation, we demurred, and refused to
pledge our DELEGATES to Mckinley.
