into the room and sat down. John Will
liams objected and James Glasgow, one
of the Judges supported him and ordered
Robinson from the room. Finally the
man left but returned later with eX-Rcp-
rcsentativc James Kitchens. But the
Union men had paid rent for the room
and refused to allow any Regular spot
ter" to be inside. Robinson secured
barrel and sat on it near the window un-
til the window went down.
Inspector John Moore in the Seventh
ward had little trouble with .James
Riley who kept tally for the Regulars.
Riley was finally elected from the room.
In some places the 'spotter' was in
vited into the room.
Daniel L. Stewart, chairman of the
City Committee. in speaking of the vote
said: 1T is highly satisfactory. The
vote is fully up to my expectation. We
must remember that only those qualified
to vote at the primaries were allowed to
vote today. The Democrats had fully 400
who did not vote. The Single Takers and
ProhibitiOnists have followers and there
are fully 500 persons who did not get
transferred. There was no real contest
and we did not have more than 1,1C0 to
draw from. The vote to some of the
workers may be Disappointing but to me
it is highly satisfactory
1t must be remembered that the vote
cast yesterday does not show the strength
of the Union Republican party. Tt is far
below the vote cast for Hoffecker for
Congress in 1896 in the Seventh ward
alone. AT that time the Union Rcpubli-

On June 8 the Union Republicans claim !
they will be able to poll about $500 votes.
1t was rumored yesterday that the Reg
ular Republicans would contest the Union
primary on the ground that it's election
officers were not legally appointed and
hat an election held by them could not BE-
valid. The Regulars who circulated the
Ilmor claimed that primary election Off
GERS must either be appointed by the De-
partmcnt of Elections or selected by the
voters when the polls opened. There
would be no ground for such acontest as
the Union Republicans consulted the De-
pArtment of Election before appointing
the primary election officials and were
informed that inasmuch as the Union Re-
publican party had not been recognized
in the selection of the election officers, it
could legally appoint whomsoever it
pleased from its own party to conduct its
primary.
1t is also said that Captain Edmund
Mitchell, Jr., a member of the Regular
City Committee called on the Elections
Department ana asked that the men ap-
pointed to conduct the Regular primary
be also elected to hold the Union pri-
rrf, bal
Elections Department pointing out that
it would be just as equitable to appoint
Democrats to hold the Regular primary
as to do what was asked
