DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATES
Of the Result of the Primaries of
 Thursday.

Those of the members Of the Young Mems Democratic club who had recov- cred from a dazed condition spent yes terday inquiring the causes and cir Cumstances of the cataclysm of the day before. Some of them were inclined to think that Mont Pelee had blown it's head off at last and others thought there had been a submersion by a tidal wave None.of them could account for the whole disaster but some of them could see reasons for local calamities. The result in the Second ward they said could easily be attributed to the fusion between the JefferSonian demo- crats and the silver republican party.
 Now that the primaries are over the leaders of the democratic factions are securing the county for proxies. The result of the fight for the nom- ination for sheriff was so decisive that no interest is taken in it any longer. but the anxiety has been transferred to the nominations for the other offices. That is what the proxy gathering is for. The Young Mems Democratic club is hopeful of saving something out of what seemed to be a total wreck. The club is hopeful however of saving nothing for itself as an organization, but is endeaVoring to secure nomina- tions for some of it's members.
 The victors are still undecided what to do with the victims. A majority believe that it is to the best interests of the democratic party in the county to show no quarter so that it is likely that the ticket will be made up wholly of old line democrats. A few mem bers of the Stout faction think that it might be conducive to party harmony to let in at least two of the members of the club. but a ma jority are urging against it, for they say that might re- suit in the defeat of Stout if a strong republican should be nominated against him. They say that the members of the club would not work for the ticket but only for their brethren of the club and that they would do that by trading Stout off. But whatever may be done in the matter of the ticket it is certain that the Young Mems Dem ocratic club will have very little to say in the convention and nothing at all in the new organization.
 The only thing the majority Of the Jeffersonian democrats will consider in the way of a concession is the nOmina ton of B. A. Fickas for the legisla- ture. MT. Fickas, it is true, has never been a member of the Young Mems Democratic club, and has never been affiliated with the club until this year. But this fall he has been an ardent supporter of MT. Sanders. The Jeffer- sonians say though that he has always been a conservative democrat and that though he has been in bad company lately, he has good legislative material in him. His nomination they say fur ther is all the recognition the young democrats can reasonably expect and it is certainly all the victors can give with safety.
 All but seven of the precincts have been heard from and both sides have formed estimates of the result of the primaries. These results differ widely. The Sanders people still claim that they have a fighting chance in the convention, that is a chance of form ing a deadlock. but the figures upon which this claim is based are rather misty. They believe that Sanders will have fifty votes in the convention and that Norton will be able to develop enough strength to prevent a nomina- tion until the combine can pull itself together.
 The Stout people are giving out their figures in detail and say that nothing
