The Republican Primaries.

The return Judges elected at the Re-
publican primaries last Saturday met
at the court house yesterday afternoon
and were called to order bv Chair
man w. G. Morrow, and Leon Watson OF
kellettville, and Gus b. Evans Of Edea-
vor were elected as secretaries. The roll
of election precincts was called which
showed that every precinct in the county
was represented. The returns were then
asked for and handed in. When Mar
ienville district was reached 5. d. Irwin,
as attorney for Mr.. Whittekin, filed an
objection to the returns in the Il rm of an
affidavit from a Marienville man setting
forth some reasons why the vote from
that district should not be coun ed. The
clerks OF election from there, Messrs. W.
c. Brown and Clinton Fitzgerald, were
asked to make a statement Of facts, which
they did in such straightforward man
ner as to convince the convention that
the election was conducted in a most law
ful and orderly way, for, on motion
made to receive and count the returns
as presented, the affirmative vote was
practically unanimous, but two outof the
p judges present voting in the negative
ON rising vote. In fact, the evidence
adduced showed conclusively that the
election in Marienville was carried on in
the cleanest, incest, most orderly man
ner, and in strictest accord with the party
rules. The count was then proceeded
with and the result showed that the fol-
lowing gentlemen were duly nominated
