The Result In Humboldt.

The Result In Humboldt.
The primary election in Humboldt
county Tuesday disclosed two surpris-
ing features. The first, and the one of
most importance to the taxpayers is
the fact that every vote east cost the
couny seven or eight dollars; the other
was the surprising difference in the
number of Democratic and Republican
votes cast, which was probably about
two to one in favor of the former.
This is accounted for from the fact that
there was no local contest on the Re-
publican ticket, while the fight for the
district attorneyship on the Democratic
ticket was very spirited.
The, returns from the-county received
thus far are very incomplete, but the
county commissioners viii begin to can
vass the vote tomorrow morning and
expect to have the work completed not
later than Friday night. From returns
at hand, it would seem that Massey has
a good lead in the county.
| With the nrecincts of Kings River,
Kennedy, Spring Valley, Pueblo, Jack
son Creek and Bartlett Creek to hear
from, Callahan, for the Democratic
nomination for district attorney, leads
Robins by 6 votes. However, it 10
claimed by many of the friends Of
Robins that he has the better Of the
situation, for the reason that the pre-
cincts mentioned should give him more
than 6 majority. Then, again, in Win
nemucca precinct Is Democratic bal
| lots were rejected, nearly all Of which
were for Robins. These votes were laid
aside by the inspectors for trifling
technicalities, bnt 1t is the general i'm
preston that most of them will be
counted by the commissioners. There
still remains the chance, however, that
an equal number of rejected ballots
will be sent in from Lovelock, Mazu-
ma and Vernon, Callahan strongholds,
ins rejected ballots in Winnemucca.
