POINTS.

The Democratic primaries are being held
this afternoon, and In every ward there is Il
contest over the Senate and Con-
trollership. All other offices are lost sight of.
The Democratic Legislative convention will
be held in Mahanoy City on Wednesday
morning, at 10 o'clock. Hon. Evan Griiiiths,
of Mahanoy City, and William T. Anderson,
of Morea, the latter an uncompromising
sily critc, are the only announced candidates.
Sometime ago the denomination Of Grifiiths
was conceded, but things are different now.
Anderson is making an active fight, with the
chances now about even between them.
The contest for Judge will present some
surprises. WaGliuger has developed much
strength with the last days of the contest,
and friends of Mari are correspondingly
depressed. There is Il rumor to the effect
that should Mari be defeated for Judge, his
friends IN the convention will urge him for
the Congressional nomination. Overtures in
this respect have been made to the friends Of
Wadliuger, but the latter refuse to enter into
any deals.
The Senatorial convention will be held in
Foy's hall, Girardville, on Tuesday morning,
aud will be called to order by p. j. Null
holland, of town. There is a spirited contest
between Hon. NJ. G.. Watson and John f.
Higgins, of town, with John O. Ulrich, Esq,
of Tamaqua, as a side issue. Those who
profess to know pick Watson as the winner.
Never in the history of the local Democracy
WAS there such a fight between the factions as
that which closes with this evening. Politi-
cal friends are array one against the other,
aud the hcclcrs Of the respective candidates
have been at work night and day for the
past two cor three weeks. 1t is Il contest for
supremacy between the two factions, and
each realizes the Importance of a victory at
this time. As a result Of the bitterness en-
genderpd there will be many sores to heal
after the wounded and dead are carried from
the field.
The indications are that Mondays gather.
ing Of the untcrritied will be a Doodle con.
v%cntion, and the "~backwoods' delegates are
alreaay preparing for the onslaught. Therell
be a hot time in Pottsville tomorrow night
and on Monday.
The Wanamaker leaders, it is said, will in.
wade Schuylkill county should the members
Of the last Legislature secure denomination
by the Republican district conventions. The
county will he flooded with literature bear.
ing upon their records during the last session.
To be successful this fall the Republican
party must present exceptional candidates
for county otlices-men who are not chronic
office seekers.
A good story is told of the prominent part
big John o. Ulrich, of Tamaqua, took in
the Democratic convention at Altoona. The
|Schuy!kill lawyer was holding the floor tC
introduce a resolution, despite the acknowl.
edged right Of another speaker, when q
policeman of pretty formidable size ap
preached. lie looked at Ulrich with som,
hesitation. Say, mister" he started, eth,
Chief of Police ordered me to put you down
70 which Ulrich responded Don't yor
take the job; send the Chief up" Tn,
resolution was finished.
Reports received from Ashland indicate
that a spirited fight il on for delegates ant

the Judgeship.
