Administration Democrats Had Walk
 over at Yesterday Primaries.
 The great battle of the democratic primaries which took place yesterday afternoon and evening closed at , o'clock, after five hours of the busiest kind of work on the part of the lead- CTS of the cOntending forces and no small amount of hustling among the people. many almost crying in the long line of voters that crowded towards the ballot boxes out of fear lest the polls should close before they had d chance to vote. 1t was a gOod-natured struggle, and so far as can be learned the best of feeling was maintained throughout the whole scramble. and when the result was announced the defeated candidates bowed to the in evitable in a manner which showed that they are made of the kind Of stuf that knows how to take defeat grace fully. Of course they were prepared for 1t. for it was plain from the time the people commenced to rush around the polls that the administration tick ct was bound to win out. As q mat ter of fact. this was pretty generally conceded all through the canvass, so that no one really appeared to be sur priSed at hearing that the kilduff forces were in the ascendancy. The vote is a very handsome tribute from the people of their appreciation of Mayor Kiiduff's efforts to do the right thing by the public.
 The administration ticket won in all the wards except the fourth, where the Hayes ticket won by small ma 1Orfty. thus throwing out the Boylan- Mahaney-MOr ticket and nominat- ing Stephen O'Brien, T. H. Murray and John BrOphy as candidates for alder men. The Fitzpatrick ticket got things pretty we'll mixed in this ward, and it is believed that the snarl was a great help to the Hayes men.
 There was a glorious fight in the fifth ward, where q supreme effort was made to rOut the Kilduff aggre- gatiOn and bury Alderman Foley. but the latter were equal to the emer- gency and held their own against a very formidable foe. led by such a trained leader as John Hurley and sey- eral able lieutenants.
 In the first, second and third wards the Kilduff men came out of the fray with flying colors. notably in the third, where the Kilduff packers beat the Op- position nearly two to one. The ad- ministratiOn men covered themselves with glory in the first and second dis tricts and it was no wonder that they threw their hats in the air and shouted after they learned that they had tri- umphed.
 The management was good and in consequence there were no hitches to speak of, and for this the town com mittee is receiving much praise.
 The men in charge of the administra- tiOn tickets handled them with con- sumate skill. and the Hayes managers showed that they are no noyices at the dled creditably on all sides. so that it looks as if we can all shake hands over the chasm and agree to present a solid front to the opposition on election day. The result of the voting by wards and the winning tickets follow:
