DELEGATES AND THEIR VOTES.

The primaries passed off tamely
in this city except in the fourth ward
where there were two candidates for
the Republican nomination for all
derman and two sets of delegates for
the Republican county and city con
ventions; and in the fifth ward.
where there were two candidates for
the democratic nomination for con-
stable, although the opposition can
didate, James H. Moran, had not
presented petition ten days ago,
which is not stricllly necessary
Emil Warter was nominated by
the fourth ward republicans, for al
derman, defeating Chris M. Rasmus-
sen by vote of 202 to 28. This
showing under of the opposition to
the regular candidate had been ex
pected, but Rasmussen's vote was ev-
en- smaller than Warter's friends had
anticipated. The defeated candidate
es for delegates were beaten as bad
ly and even worse. There were
thirty-five ballots rejected In that
ward, because of incorrect marking
and other mistakes in casting them.
There was much enthusiasm when
the votes were counted.
The vote in all the other wards
was very small it being less than
twenty except in the fifth ward
where, at the democratic primary.
forty-nine votes were cast. James r.
O'Brien, the regular candidate for
constable, won out. He received %
votes to Moran's 10. He is sure OK
election, from the fact that there Is
no republican nominee.
There was little cutting In nearly
every primary of both parties. This
was most noticeable, with the excep-
ton of the fourth ward republicans,
among the second ward democrats.
The results of the primaries, with
the nominees for election from the
several wards, and the delegates who
will rerfesent their parties at th0nn
county and city conventions. are
