THECROWDSAUGURWELL
REPUBLICAN MEETINGS AGAIN
LARGELY ATTENDED.
Primaries Held Last Night to Choose
Delegates to District COnven-
tion This Afternoon.

There was an unusual interest in the
primaries held in this city and county last
night to elect delegates to the Republican
district convention, to be held al 1870 o'clock
this afternoon in the Criminal Court room,
to elect the district chairman. Considering
that the weather was about the coolest Of
the winter and that there was virtually no
contest for the district craftsmanship, old
time politicians were surprised at the
numbers of Republicans who attended the
primaries. The interest was almost as I'M
precedented as that exhibited ten days ago
when the primaries for the reorganization
of the county committee were held.
In all of the wards of the city the turn
out was very large. Take for instance the
Ninth ward, on the South Side, where 15S
votes were cast The Ninth ward is Demo-
cratic, and the fact that so many Republic
ans turned out indicates the enthusiasm
that dominates Republicans. In the Third
and Seventh wards, not to specify others
where the interest was equally great, there
were immense turnouts. In neither instance
had the politicians expected more than
score or SO to appear 1t was so all over
town; everywhere the numbers present sur
prised the ward chairmen and others who
have kept an eye on the trend of political
affairs. Full delegations have been elected
for the convention this afternoon, and it
promises to be an enthusiastic occasion.
