Republican Primaries.

- INV
primaries on Saturday last, the
10Th inst, is an undonbted
victory for the organization, and
the friends of Congressman Geo.
A. Pearre, who seeks a renomina.
ton, but Notwithstanding the
completeness of the round nm
there remains traces of the en-.
counter in certain districts that
oodes no good to the victors
1t was the same old fight, Half.
ner against Motter and the organ.
lzation, and each side worked
night and day to line up their
forces for the test Of arms. Not
a stone was left unturned by
either OF the contestants, al.
though when the end came it was
found that the Motter crowd had
turned over the greatest number
Under these stones were found
the ever ready darkey, who threw
MS forces INTO the thickest of the
night and carried the day. 1t is
said that a great deal of money
was spent to get the colored
brother in the city and county.
In about twelve districts there
was trouble for the regulars and
there will be a number of con.
testing delegations to the conven
ton in this city, on Saturday,
June 2nd, TO select delegates to
the Congressional Convention.
In New Market District Kinks
was endorsed for Congress aud
In Brunswick a Kinks man was
elected chairman of the prim AIRY.
The Wellington scare crow was
injected into the fight, and this
no doubt held back many who
would have supported Kinks.
There was much feeling engend.
cred IN the contest, which is far
from pacitication aud which will
make itself felt later on. if all the
signs fail not.
There was a hot old time at the
Frederick primaries. at which
the MOtter crowd won hands
down. But they anticipated
trouble and to retain their suprem
acy went into the highways and
byways-mOStly the latter-and
corralled all the negroes that
were open to conviction and a
dollar bill. There were enough
of them alone to have carried
the day without the whites, many
of whom refused to mix up in
such motley throng.
One gang OF negroes, seventy
five strong, marched up to the
polls and several smaller crowds,
coming in about tn same time,
made the Court House Park look
like a negro camp meeting. The
minority was Outnum bered about
''Slxteen to One.'
Elk Sheriff Charles Il. X.
Young was made chairman, and
Millard F. Perry secretary MIR.
S. Elmer Brown was the Kinks
candidate for chairman. 1t was
seen that the Pearre following
was overwhelmingly in evidence,
and so the other side capitulated
as gracefully as possible, yet
with visible signs of the smart
of the wound. The following are
the delegates from Frederick dis
trict:
