SECOND PRIMARY.
A second primary will be held to-mor-
rev to settle this nomination. Both
sides claim they will control the Coun-
ellis, but this Is uncertain, as the bal
arce of power appears to be held by IN
dependents. They ley faction claim a
1ictory and the Trehy faction dispute
this.
The wa iting crowd wlliled away the hours
by figuring up the probable net result.
Tie most astute politicians figure that
the Trehy or administration faction Will
have eighteen votes in the new Councils
against the Dey factions six. Th1;; leaves
of the forty-sx Councilmen twenty-five
Independents, whom the Trehy men say
they may as easily control as their OPP
pcnents may.
TREHY VICTORY.
This means that the Trehy men think
they have defeated their opponents Sig
na]ly
there are understood to be thre., active
candidates for police Judge, a poS.:'cH 10
| be filed by the Councils. These are Messrs.
| Tazewel1 Taylor, T. J. Randolph and
Bruce Simmons. The astute say that the
last named. a good government candidate
! from Brambleton, may get the votes OF
| his ward, and, perhaps, as many others,
| tut has no chance of election. Mr.. Ran
dolph claims twenty-four votes from the
First, Second, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh
| Wards. and seems to be in strong posi-
| ton near the pole.
Justice Taylor it is admitted, is likely to
lcee rho votes Of the Fourth Warders, and
! while in the opinion of many he should
! win it is admitted that he has "a fight
on hand.
---e Trehy men are jubilant, especially
since they claim they have defeated the
u,,,airio n-pilnt and Dispatch, which they
say were allied against them. LOOK at lAe
ne whose cause those papers espoused
one said to-day and you will see many
deac ones.''
