But BELMONT
WAS REJECTED
BY Two VOTES
Action of Two Governors
Laid to White House
and Mr.. Page.

Mrs. Perry Belmont's eligibility
for membership il. the Chevy Chase
Club has never been passed on by
the hoard of governors OF the club.
OF the fourteen governors, twelve
voted for the admission of Perry
Belmont. whose name was up for
admission.
Mr.. Belmont's friends do not re-
gard the affair as ended, and are
confident thai he viii yet become a
member of the club.
These are stse real facts of the
published report that Mr. and Mrs.
Belmont had been blaekbaIed by the
club.
Open Opposition.
A meeting Of the governors was held
Friday, anu Mr.. Belmont's friends pro
posed his name for membersaio. \. s
WorthiEgton openly announced that he
would oppose Mr.. Belmonts admission
If tii ding came TO a vote. The vote
was aiken. and two black balls we're
found ~ the box in which ballots were
cast.

man voting against Mr.. Belmont. &C.

Hot words. ensued. General Randolph
went 10 MS home, and, according TO Mr.
Belmonts friends, has not been seen at
the club since. while Mr. Belmont has
been there every day
Reasons for Hostility.
OF the explanations for anybody on
posing the admission of Mr.. Belf ont
to the club, there are many. one
is that somebody had been infected
with the idea that it was good TO fol-
low up the attitude of the White House
and not encourage the social aspirations
end trlumphs Of the BeimOats Another
IS that one of the opposing men was a
close friend Of Thomas Nelson Pa ge
VINO dlshkes the New York smart set in
general and the Belmonts In particular
Stil a third piece of gossip is that
one OF the men voting against Mr.
Belmont IS connected in some wav with
ar; Sloane. the former husband OF Mrs.
Belmont
Mr. Belmont was obliged to 90 to
New York this morning on important
business. He will return tomorrow af-

HURLEY i Ijil ii'i iI;iiI BY } A NOSE
Senator and His Males on Ticket
 Win Hot Battle.

The democratic primaries were held last night and attracted even more interest than anybody sup posed, the vote cast in the ward where there were no contests being surprisingly large. This shows that the people are doing some thinking, and people who watch such, things claim that 1t doesn't bear out the statement of republican machine pol iticians, that the democrats don't know where they are at. The battle in the fifth was the liyeliest ever held and will be talked of for years. A big vote and a clean vote was what everybody wanted and it kept coming until the check list footed up BIO. This was unprecedented since the introduction of the new primary law. People who live in other districts and came down town to vote hurried over to see what was going on in the fifth and many who didn't vote at all helped to make un the greatest throng of sightseers that lined the sidewalks and kept the police busy making way for folks who wanted to go through to get by. Considering the numbers present and the determination of each side to win, the crowd was orderly, and when it was over it was out of the question to find anybody who was not willing to admit that 1t was lair fight, Most of the people who voted had their ballots in their pockets and didn't need any coaching. They came from almost every walk of life, and the list being in excellent con 'dition and handled by competent men things went along smoothly from start to fiuish. Senator Hur- Icy was on the ground at the opening of hostilities and never left it until the polls closed: He worked hard and was ably supported by Dr Hayes and dozen or more others. MT Scully made no canvass. He said he wouldn't at the outset and he was indorsed with that understanding. He was oh hand all through ,he scrimmage, though, and joined in the general rejoicing after the result was 'dHuOuuCCu. It was great flCLUfy for Senator Hurley and those who were associated with him.
 :: John Griffin, Edward B. McElligott and Dennis J, Slavin, the candidatcs on the opposition ticket, with Sena- tor Phelan and other lieutenants, made stubborn fight and handled themselves in manner which. show. ed that they were thoroughly or-i ganized. Towards the close Of she combat Mayor Thoms appeared on the scene and remained until time was called. h- s.- The vote in the different districts was as follows
 First ward-146, no contest.
 Second ward-Regular ticket 137 within the city and 25 in Waterville; anti ticket 56 in the city and 28 in Waterville. Total 246. Majority for regulars, 7S. S< :. .,+. Third ward-Regular. ticket l62;l I Improvement ticket 91. Majority Fl. .,s Fourth ward-302, no contest e l

 ct had an organization which they
 may we'll feel proud of and when il
 gets together with the winning ticket
 to join hands in common cause on
 election day, the old fifth will roll uI a democratic majority that will make the other fellows won dee how it hap
 pened. All this talk of soreness is rot. Even though there is a little
 soreness in the ward, it Is safe to say that the democrats will not spoil the chances of electing the whole ticket
 by little squabling.
 ! The police say it was one of the most. orderly crowds that was ever seen at a primary where there was so much voting, Notwithstanding the fact that Scoyill street was lined with people until the polls closed, there was not ain arrest made.
 One of the surprises of the primar- ies was the defeat of Hubert J. Rig ney in Wateryille. In the 'yille where Rigney is considered strong the oppo- nents of the regular ticket succeeded in defeating him by three votes,
 The spirit in which the Griffin ticket accepted defeat was made plain when the result was announced by D. J. Slavin, one of the candidates for aldermen, who ended by proposing three cheers for John Hurley and the rest of the ticket:
 4 Timothy 0'Rourke is a good hard worker. Although he fought on the losing side at the fifth ward primary he kept his temper all through the scrimmage and had a ticket and a ha, ha for everybody he met. When he heard the result he exclaimed: |: They'll jolly the life out of us now
 A number of colored citizens met last night in Lyra hall on Phoenix avenue, and organized a political club. John L.. Haille was chosen president and James B. Kefford sec retary and treasurer. The election of officers was followed by political rally, the principal speakers being John E. Sewell, republican candidate for mayor, and few other nominees of the g p, including A. I. Good rich, Charles D. Nye, Abner Hayes, who told all there is to be known about MT Sewell since he was dis covered, M, F, Parkinson and Robert Palmer and Thomas Dennison. The new club was also treated to a few remarks by U G. Church, chairman of the republican town committee. Of course the candidates want all their colored fellow citizens to vote for them, not for their own sake, but for the good of the community. The average colored man has a pretty keen sense of humor and when the members of the club heard this sort of thing it is wonder they didn't break out in uproarious laughter But they didn't, instead they acted as If they took 1t all for straight goods and in, this way, they proved their ability to meet the white man with his own weapons. -'
