Saturday was great day for poll
ticians and political parties in vii
mington. The Democrats held a mem
orable primary election for all the cit,
offices to be filled in June. The Repub
licans held their primaries, but thes
were void of noteworthy features be
cause of no contest except for council
men. In addition to these the Depart
ment of Elections conducted a regis
tration.
The selection of DR.. Fahey shows tn
remarkable success of Peter j. Ford a
a political manager. Through MI
Ford'S efforts, 1t is said, the Tent
ward physician was induced to ente
the race toward the middle OF tn
week, and many thought 1t was
foolhardy move, and that Fahey coul
only pull down McCoy's plurality.
EARLY in the afternoon, however, ID
Fahey began to develop remarkabl
strength and made heavy inroads int
the Johnson ranks. Men pledged a
along for Mr.. Nearys friend and turne
around and voted Fahey tickets.
BY 5 o'clock, Fahey was decided
the strongest man in the fight, an
this fact bolstered up his vote all tf
more.
HARMAN'S VICTORY A SURPRISE
A genuine surprise was in store Il
the people in the city solicitorshi
fight. The consensus of opinion wa
that England, Cooper and Harma
we're nip and tuck for first place. tt
surprise was indescribable when II
count showed Harman not only to I
a winner, but with hundreds Of VOTE
to spare.
Mr.. Harman's friends regard the VII
tory as clear cut indication an
stamp of approval OF his administri
tion by the people. His remarkab
success in saving the city from judi
ments and costly litigation is suppose
to be what pulled him through
nicely.
MEANEY PROTESTS.
One Of the maddest men in Wilmin
ton last night was John b. Meane
candidate for counsel in the Four
ward. Meaney claims that he was n
allowed a representative in the Fir
district of the Fourth ward. He all
says that after the polls had closed b
inspectors took the ballot-bOx to a
other place than the regular votiI
booth and counted the votes Mean
has engaged Josiah Marvel as couns
