Register of Deeds.
VERY STRONG TICKET FOR THE HOUSE
The Detailed Returns Of the Primaries in the
City. The Returns from the County
Are Not Yet Complete
or Accurate.


The result of the Democratic primaries
held in Wake county seem to show that
Mr.. Snow carried Raleigh by a large
majority. but seems to have lost nearly
all the country townships so far as may
be judged from those heard from last
night. The county convention will have
TO nominate the Senator.
1t looks like these are nominated for
the House:
e. G. BEDDINGFIELD,
JOHN p. PEARSON,
ROBERT N. SIMMS.
Sheriff Page is renominated for sheriff,
Capt. Williamson FOR treasurer; and Mr..
w H. Hood for register of deeds, prob
ably.
The old board of county commissioners,
except Messrs. w. C. Brewer and J. W.
Pcgram were defeated 1t looks like the
board will be composed of;
A.. H. GREEN. chairman,
w. C. BREWER,
j. w. PEGRAM,
J. A. KEMP,
W. A. ELLINGTON.
The returns from some of the country
precincts are very indefinite and some
have not been heard from.
The vote polled was an unusually large
one, showing much party interest and
enthusiasm, and activity on the part of
the candidates.
In some of the wards more delegates
were appointed than the precinct is en-
titled to, it being understood, in such
eases. that each delegate SO appointed is
TO cast only his proportionatc part of the
precincts vote.
In the Fourth ward. first division, for
instance, fourteen delegates were APP
pointed, each to east half vote, this
precinct being entitled to only seven del
cgates.
In the Second ward. second division, all
those present were appointed delegates.
The only resolution adopted was in
The First Ward, first division. 1t was as
follows:
Resolved That the returns from the
First Ward first division, be received and
declared and that the returns be turned
over to the chairman of the county
executive committee, Mr. Armstead
Jones' and that they be rendered to the
county convention.
Resolved, That vote of thanks be
rendered to the pol-holders of this di
vision for the faithful performance of
their duty done without pay and so salts
factoraly to all"
In the Third Ward. first division. dele
gates to the convention were instructed
TO cast the first ten ballots for the can
didates who have received the largest
number Of votes in the primaries.
In the Second Ward, first division the
delegation was directed to vote as in
structed by the primary election for ten
ballots; after that the majority controls
the vote of the precinct.
The south division of Outside West pre-
c;nct claims the banner in the proper
ton of the votes cast. In 1896 this pre-
cinct cast only Ill votes for the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor and it cast
at the primary yesterday ia votes.
Snow, for Senator, carried every pre-
cnct in the city. His total vote is $40
against total of 2S6 for Maynard and
273 for Brcughton. In the second divis-
ion of the Fourth Ward Mr.. Broughton
received no votes.
Page, for sheriff, also carried every
precinct. receiving 1,075 votes against
vi for Norwood. Inc vote IN RalelSn
fer j. Wiley Jones, the third candidate is
very small.
Hood, for register carried all the pre-
cncts except three-First Ward (second
divisionl and Fourth Ward (both divis-
ions) His total in the city is 7SS against
Moves 51S. The totals of the votes re-
coivcd by the other candidates for regis
ter are small.
The detailed result of the primaries in
the city. and in the county as far as
could be ascertained last night, follows
