night George 70 ung succeeded IN secur-
Inc celebrations from four of the six
wards Of the city. giving him 90 votes out
of a possible 100 in the city convention
which WIN be he Id tomorrow This is
considered as signal victory for the
Young forces and means that George
Young will be the nominee Of the Demo
Gratis for the may orally position. The
success Of the YouI g forces is considered
as being marveloJ Is, considering at
Young did not annou nee himself as can
dfdate until few days ago His oppon-
ent for the nomination, James w. Bur
ton. has been in the race for some time
and it was considered by conservative
men until recently that he ha~ einch on
the nomination.
Young secured the delegations from the
Second. Imrd. Fourth aid Fifth wards,
giving him So votes in the convention
Burton had a solid delegation in the Sixth
ward. where he resides, and also secured
Inc delegation from the First ward after
a hot fight 1t has been estimated that
Burton would possibly get the Third
ward delegation or at least a portion Of
ii. but in this one ward he was beaten Il
votes. During the last two days the fight
for the deIega lions has been very warm
one The Dung men were able by hard
and persistent work to overcome the diff
6culties caused by the long stanuing can
didscy Of Burton. Buttons forces were
thought TO be better orga uiZed than those
of Young, but from the results of last
nights primaries, the 'Young supporters
got together in a very short time and the
work that they did told, as was ascertain
ed when the results were known
There was q rumor on the streets last
night that Burton viii not allow his
name TO 60 before the convention. If TINS
is the case it viii mean that George
Young win be the unanim Gus choice of
the delegates, being supported by all Of
the delegations in the city AS is well
known Burton has q petition with enough
names signed to it to place MIN in nom
nation. Just what he VIII 90 with this
petition is not known, but last night there
were hints Of movement TO have him
run any way, but this is not likely.
In the First ward it was a hot fight,
and unln the last ballot was counted it
was hard to estimate which man mad the
delegation. Burton secured it by eight
81 in the Second ward. which is the
home Of George Young, Burton only re
ceived one vote, Young receiving 108
Young secured the Third ward delesa-
ton. where he received 81 votes and Bar
ton secured co. The Fourth ward gave
Young a delegation, so votes beng cast,
Burton receiving 20 of these.
In the Fifth ward there were several
complications. At the time the PRIMARIES
opened there We're some questions regard
ing the manner IN which the vote should
DE cast. Judge Milton was chai~man of
the meeting and A. A. Dlam.-r- the sec
rotary. At the time that inc controversy
came up. Dunmyer and several iron in
Il G gathering decided that they wo1ld
Aoid p primary Of their oVn. and cun-
sequently left the room judge Milton
and his followers went To- work and nam
ed a Young delegation Tae men were
nominated as delegates to the convention
and were voted upon sinEly. This was
the method Of procedure until the entire
number of delegates We're selected. Just
what became of the other crowd is not
known. If a delegation was selected. it
was not heard of last night but it may
possibly appear in the convention tolnor-
row. The vote was unanimous for the
Young delegation and is headed by j. W.
Brown, a Young supporter.
