The democratic primaries were held on Thursday but passed off without any features. and there were very few votes cast. But at that the number was larger than cast at the g. 0. p. primaries the previous day. There was no contest in any ward and not the semblance of any except in the first There an opposition" ticket appeared but it did not conform to the rules Of the party so it was declared illegal. The number of votes cast in each ward follows:
 First voting district, S3 ballots cast. Second voting district, 34 bal lots cast. Third voting district 29 ballots cast. Fourth voting district, S4 ballots cast. Fifth voting dis trict, 73 ballots cast. Total ballots, 323. .+. ',*..

 |, The republican town committee will hold it's annual meeting this evening for the purpose of electing a chairman, treasurer and secretary, and it is generally believed the pres- ent officials will be reelected, U. G. Church, chairman; Walter W. Holmes, treasurer, and Joseph H. Reid, secretary, For the first time in many years Edward Foley, who is big fellow in the Brooklyn end of the party, will not take part in the deliberations of the committee for the simple reason that he failed of election at the primaries held few days ago. In his place goes John Sirica, who lut up good fight for the place and won. Now Fo- ley has, 1t is said, made up his mind to make things as politically unpleas- ant for the entire town committee as he possibly can for the coming year and if Chairman Church finds some spokes loose in the wheels of the machine in Brooklyn he will probably place the responsibility on Foley. Foley is fighter and has long been on top in the councils of his party and to be. displaced at this late day by barber when he feels like dressing his whiskers at the political fireside in peace and con tentment has made him feel like a thunderbolt. He is out in the cold when he thought he would be toast ing his shins at the fire, telling of old days to younger members of the party. Chairman Church will prob- ably have a recalcitrant republican in Foley on his hands for the next year.
 The fact that Foley was made a delegate to the convention which shall select those who will go to the state convention has not modified him by any means. It was a crust to one who should receive a whole loaf buttered and sugared. But that is the way with republicans.
