The Republican Caucuses Last Night Were
All One Way-The Primaries VIII
Be Held Today

last night in each or the WarQS OF tne
city. excepting the Fifth and the sixth,
where the voters of the party had gone
through similar formula upon the pre-
vious evening The contests last even
ing were devoid Of incident, excepting
in the Third and Fourth wards, Hervey
Lindley being most emphatically turned
up in the former and Capt. II. u. Os-
borne as emphaticaly in the last named.
while Col. Harrison Gray Otis was as
automatically turned down in both. In
none Of the other wards, by the way, did
the friends Of Lindley have the slightest
opposition. .
Third. which is Lindley's residence, and
the leading Republican ward in the CITY,
Here L. E. Mosher. who is the Times
eagle when he works at it, was him
self on the ground in charge of the skir-
mish line on behalf OF his chief. Ihe
Lindley people won out so easily that
they were themselves surprised at the
result
The cauucs was largely attended, and
1t developed at an early stage into Nc
Kinley love feast. The issue was the
Ohio apostle of protection and Hervey
Lindley as one Of the district delegates
to the st. Louis convention, as against
the self-assumed bosship of the local
Republican organization by the editor
of the Times.
1t was a few minutes after 8 o'clock
the Seventy fifth assembly district Re-
publican executive committee, mounted
the stage at Illinois hall and called the
caucus to order. He. e.stated that he had
obtained some notoriety for his connec-
tion with the preliminary sparring in
the pending contest, but in everything
which had been done he had been guild
ed entirely by the Official call for the
Forthcoming assembly district conven-
tions promulgated by the congressional
committee of the Sixth district. He in
formed his hearers that he was not am
oitious to go the state convention to be
held at Sacramento next Tuesday his
only ambition being to have a delega-
ton from the assembly district selected.
which would do all in its power to secure
instructions for William Mckinley to
the national convention There was
applause at this sentiment and It in
creased when the speaker threw back
his coat and displayed to the enthusi-
astic multitude the Napoleonic coun-
tenance of the man from Ohio in extra
large size with crimson red badge as a.
background to the picture
Parker concluded with the statement
that as native Ohioan circumstances
over which he had no control had nat
urally placed him in the Ohio column.
He then called for nominations for
chairman of the caucus.
COL X. Il. Treat was named for the
position by Captain H. Glaze, and was
elected without opposition He ad-
ded few pathetic flames to the McKin-
ley enthusiasm. and it blazed over
Then Charles Sexton and A. Bagley
were named as secretaries. although
why two men should have been elected
to the position when one was in his own
way. was not explained.
Gen. H. A. Pierce presented a reso-
luton for each precinct in the ward to
caucus separately, and in so doing made
sn1a
applauded most at it's close.
The precinct caucuseS were then held
and the forty-five delegates to be voted
for tonight were selected and later rat
ifled as whole.
The friends of Hervey Lindley cap
tured every delegate named.
Next came the presentation by Wal
ter F. Parker of the following resolu-
ton. which not only covers the Times
editor with asphaltum in the green, but
rubs the stuff in hard:
Whereas. the great majority of the
Republicans of this country are In favor
OF the nomination of that eminent states
man, illustrious soldier and loyal Amer
ican, William Mckinley, of Ohio, for
president of the United States of Amer
lea; and,
Whereas, we recognize the fact that
the various other candidates for that
high office are eIninently fitted and quail
fled for the position, nevertheless it is
the sentiment of the Republicans of this
ward that William Mckinley should be
our standard bearer; and,
Whereas. it is fitting that our choice
should be made known on our ballots,
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the ticket selected by
this caucus shall be headed, For Presi-
dent, William Mckinley" and be it fur
ther
Resolved, that the candidates of this
cuacus stand pledged to vote for no man
as delegate to the state convention and
congressional district convention who
will not pledge himself to favor and vote
for positive instructions in favor of Will
lam Mckinley as the Republican candi-
date for president.
The above of course went through with
Z rush and whOop
The caucus then adjourned.
There is a possibility that anti-Lindley
tickets may be at the polls in all of the
wards this afternoon, but it can be
safely predicted they will not be success
full at the polls. =.
EIGHTH WARD.
The eighth ward Republicans held their
caucus last night at Painters hall on
Also street. George Beebe was elected

nee. Resolutions were adopted that
