Says Chairman Spencer.

The total vote in Mondays election

the vote Of that party out for the city
election. On the head of the ticket

Ebenezer Lewis, Democrat, for JUS

official figures are not computed.

not for many years have county
election returns come in more prompt
ly than they did for the Republican
primaries Monday night.
BY 1880 it was almost possible to
predict the winners, and there was a
crowd of not less than 800 people at
the Republican headquarters at s
o'clock. 1t became necessary to open
up the rooms of the Union Charity
Association to accommodate large
portion of the crowd there.
The telephone room in which the
returns were received was small and
stuffy. 1t was crowded full, and the
officers of the election were jOstled
hither and thither. Even Hon. II. w.
Stuart, chairman of the Republican
County Executive committee, was
obliged to stand. 1t was the same
way with Messrs. II NJ. Wanamaker
and A. ]. Rowley, who were on hand
early, anxious to hear how Hon. n. ID.
Tibbals had Jared in the contest for
Probate Judge. They gave up soon.
At $50, Mr.. Wanamaker said. Par
dee will probably be nominated by a
majority of 400" Further than this
he said nottingham is, for the ben
eft of newspaper men. However, it
was plain that he was greatly disap-

Judge G. NJ. Anderson, to whom can
largely be credited the victory of Par

quarters. He heard the larger part of

Later he called at the headquarters
of Jared Barker, at the Empire hotel
Still later, he visited the Elks' club,

talking about going to the show.
