Los ANGELES PRIMARIES.
Ltndley and Sheldon Gain a Majority of
the Delegates.

the Delegates.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 29.-The
immediate and chief significance of the
Republican caucuses last night and the
primaries this afternoon is based on the
question of who shall represent this Con-
gressional district at st. Louis, and who
shall be delegate-at-large from this end of
the State to the National Convention.
Harvey Lindley, who was defeated by
Marion Cannon in 1892, has been making
plans for some time with the view of 60
ing to st. Louis as district delegate, and
Ex-Governor Sheldon of Pasadena has
been in the hands OF his friends as. dele
gate-at-large. The Times here. Repub-
lican morning newspaper, shifting the
battle from afar, has waged unrelenting
warfare on the aspirations of both gentle
men, but with Indifferent results, as the
action Of the caucuses and the vote to-day
show.
There has been no question for weeks
but that the Mckinley sentiment was
dominant and none but Mckinley men
were to be placed on guard. But as to
who would 90 to st. Louis was quite an
other matter.
The contest that has been waged here
has generally been designated as the old
"Otis-Lindley fight" for it seems that the
Times opposed Lindley in his race for Con-
gress. Caucuses were held all over the
city last night and there was marked har-
mony everywhere except in the Third
Ward-Lindey's home. Here there was
split, and to-day there were two dele
gate tickets in the field. The Lindley OPP
position ticket was headed, Third Ward
(anti- i-Lindleyl-Fo President, William
Mckinley" The regular caucus ticket in
this like all of the others, was headed,
"For President, William Mckinley; regu-
lar caucus ticket"
The poIlng-place in the Third Ward
was the scene OF great hustle all afternoon
with string of voters reaching far out
into the street. The regular caucus
ticket won easily, and thus the Times
fight was completely lost.
At the caucusses last night Mckinley
resolutions were passed in all the wards
except the Eighth. Sheldon will now get
the Endorsement from this district, and
will probably defeat U. s. Grant Jr. OF San
Diego for the position of delegate-at-large

PORTLAND, Or, April 29.-The re-
nomination of Representative w. R. Ellis,
the free-silver advocate OF Eastern Oregon
from the Second District, was a bitter pill
TO the believers in Sound money, and
was claimed to be misrepresentation ot
a majority of the Republicans of the dis

convention movement to put up "sound"-

assumed definite shape in the selection of

county, provided he would accept. Judge
Northup's acceptance was filed to-day at

the signars are Republicans and one-th bird
Democrats. About 500 names are attached
to the petition. The platform on which
Judge Northup will run is strictly sound"
