REPUBLICAN CAUCUS TICKETS
CARRY THE DAY.
A. Winan's Mixed Ticket In the
Eighth Ward-What Became
Of the Democrats?

OF the Demo cTatSs
To say that "the election passed on
peaceably'' would be but to repeat a
Chestnut that has grown fuzzy with
age. There has been no other kiho
of election in Sacramento for SO many
years that the other kind will soon pe
recalled only in "reminiscences OF
past generation. This changed conol-
tion of affairs from that OF OLD Is the
result of wise laws passed for the pro-
lection Of the better class OF voters
who were formerly at the mercy OF po-
litical rowdies, tricksters ana Plug
uglies.
1t was expected there would be sharp
contests in most of the wards between
the regular and opposition Republican
forces, but the sharpness" was not of
a nature to arrest the attention of any
person passing one of the polling
places.
The result of the primary was the
success of the regular Republican (or
caucus) ticket in every ward except the
Eighth, where a mixed ticket was
elected. The delegates chosen through
out the city are understood to be favor
able to the nomination of George H.
Clark for Mayor, while the others
(known as the opposition) were put
forward in the interest Of Mayor Land.
Naturally aspirants for nomination to
other elective municipal offices were
also interested in the success of either
set of tickets, but the chief contention
was over the Mayoralty.
In the Eighth Ward there were three
tickets besides the Democratic. This
was due to the fight of w. n. Winans,
candidate for City Trustee. Many of his
delegates were on the regular Republi-
can ticket, as well as on his own, for
which reason there was some difficulty
in figuring out the results.
The new method of pasting candi-
dates names on a blanket ballot seems
to have caused some voters consldera-
bic perplexity. AT the Twelfth and P
streets polling place one citizen
emerged from the place with his paster
stuck fast to the palm of his hand, hav-
ing voted a blank sheet of paper.
AT another polling place a voter
pasted his ticket on the side of the
booth and voted a blank ballot. He
couldn't understand where the joke
came in when the bystanders gave him
the laugh.
The result of the vote in the Second
Ward assures the nomination by the
Republicans of George Stack for Trus-
tee, he having beaten out his opponent.
Mr. Snyder, by 70 votes. Stacks op-
ponent on the Democratic ticket will
be r. E. Kent the present incumbent
