workers. who were friendly to his oppo-
nent Justice Isaac Nathans of the Sec
ond district, is said to have led in this
movement. The second IS Mr.. Russers
old district, and still feels very friendly
10 him. 1t will be seen that while good
majorities are given the rest of the Os-
borne ticket in the second, that Mr.. Rus
sell leads Mr.. Collins considerably. Mr.
Russelfs personal popularity Is shown
by the good vote which he received in
other districts besides the second.
The large vote received by Mr.. J. Ferris
Cam for state senator will hardly be
surprise to his friends. He enjoyed the
great advantage over his opponent, Mr..
Anton r. Wright, of being much more
widely known. The Citizens legislative
majority is a very healthy one, and doubt
less is o surprise to the candidates on the
other side.
Doubtless there will be any number of
post mortems held to-day and various YER
diets reached as to the cause of the de-
feat. The main reason assigned, doubt
less, will be that the other side had the
most votes. Back of this was the very
evident fact that they had a considerable
majority of the political workers at the
polls and that they were evidently well
organized. Judging by indications the
Liberals were not possessed of the funds
with which they had been credited and
that they suffered from a stringency in
this line before the day was over Harry
Willink, who handled the Liberal forces.
made an able fight, and 1t was evidently
not due to any lack of management on his
part that victory did not perch upon the
Liberal banner.
The conduct of the election was fair In
every respect and the much talked of ad-
vantage of two to one on the part of the
Liberals failed to manifest itself The
question of the conduct of the primary
had been fully fought out beforehand and
the managers on both sides had evidently
determined that there should be only
fair primary and nothing else Whether
a county primary, including the county
officers, will be as popular hereafter, re-

Yesterdays primary terminates the hot
Toliacal campaign which has been waged
70 the last few weeks and furnishes the
NEST complete surprise thar has been
given the pccpe ef Chatham county in a
pclFicol way in years. The entire Liber-
81 ticket is defeated with one exception,
and that except, is in itself one of the
surprises CT the day.

running far ahead of his ticket, and the
d-feat Of Mr.. Jacob S. Collins by a vote
falling much behind the balance of his
dekei. Coroner John A. Goette's defeat
by DR. John G. Keller is only partly
'urprise, as it was expec ed that the lat
ter would run well with his ticket
The result is hardly less OF surprise
TO the winners than TO the losers. The
former had expected to win, but they
had not anticipated such a sweeping vic
tory. Although most Of them would have
been willing to bet on Mr. Osborne's
election at any time during the day, their
usual estimate was from $50 10 $50 ma
Jority, and even in the afternoon, when
things were plainly running their way.
the estimated majority for Mr.. Osborne
seldom exceeded 500. In case the ma
jori,y reached the latter figure It was
commonly said that Mr.. Osborne would
carry I'm the balance Of his ticket with
him. IT hardly expected, however that
Mr. Marcus S. Baker would be elected,
and Mr.. Baker himself hardly entertained
an Idea OF this result in the morning. He
certainly did not expect 70 receive such n
neat majority.

hoped, will show the Chinese
government that the United
States are not to be trified with,
and will bring the shifting,

full realization of the situation,

1t is the present situation,
however, that worries the admin

the Chinese authorities to in
slant terms.
In the course of the next two
months there will be about 5000
additional American troops on
Chinese soil, not counting many
thousand more that could be
transferred from the Philippines
in the case of necessity. The
Chinese will be held to q

The plan was the conspirators
