And Outside OF One Or TWO Incl

the Serenity And Harmony OF
the Meeting.
The republican primaries were held
last night, and in all but one ward the
regular organization easily retained
control.
FIRST WARD.
In the first ward the primary was
held in Rech harris Office and the crowd
began to gather fully an hour before
the hour named. AT 8 O'Clock Special
Policeman Henry Heep took the chair
and declared nominations for charm an
in order. Some one in the crowd no.
minated John O'Keeffe and that indi-
vidual took the chair, without putting
the vote. Objections were raised by
]. w. Morrison, and after considerable
discussion and harangue, O'Keeffe gave
way.
Gen. A. G. Malloy was then no
minated and to decide the vote the
crowd was divided. Seeing the NAL
10y fdcGlOu was ulucn III GuS maturity
OK =effe declared Gen. Malloy elected

The primaries in the second ward
developed one little passage at arms.

most at the outset, after the election
of the chairman. the point of order
was raised ny J T. Nesom that Attor-
ney j. Q. Pearce was not entitled to q
voice in the NEE ting. He was support
ed by D. A. Richardson.
J A. Smith spoke to the question,
and his manner of raking Rich
ardson, the "Black and Tan" fore and
aft, was something fierce. He charged
the gentleman with Oetraying the party
at the time he put in the field the
"Black and TAM combination ticket,
and he declared Richardson had no
right to attend the councils of the re-
publican party.
Richardson then asked to be heard,
and the chairman promptly turned him
down, and declared that he refused to
recognize bin. Richardson then ap-
pealed to the meeting, aud asked that
ell in his favor say toas they were
with him. Not one small still voice
WAS raised, and Mr.. Richardson was
cast into outer darkness.

lows: 0. D. Owens, ]. A. Smith, F. P
Clark, w. S. McCutcheon, r. E. Nix,
ThOs. Herman.
The opposition ticket, which receiv-
ed few votes, only a vive voce vote

The fourth ward primary was held
at the city tool house on North Oregon
street. The building was crowded to
the utmost. Collector Moses Dillon

recognized leaders of the two factions,
are both residents of this ward and
were on the gFo und in person.
Judge L. b. Davis and E. G. Roberts
were placed in nomination for chair

where the division was made. A count
showed that Mr.. Roberts had 80 and

T. Oh hansen and G. B. Stevens. The
second was supported by Col. Camp
bell and bore the names of e. @. Ro-
berts, r. F. Campbell, and Antonio
Sierra. On vote the second ticket
was chosen by 40 to 81.
Everything passed off quietly and
little WAS said. There was considerable
comment afterwards however on the
fact that the two Siberberg brothers,
who it was supposed were now residents
of Mexico City, took part In the voting.
They voted for ,hs Campbell delega-
tion, thus giving two out of it's MAORI
ty OF three.
