The Primary Elections.

The primary election Monday, June 18th,
passed off quietly and with some surprises.

Although the Progressives bad been released
from obligation tovote for the party candidates
by the Maine member of the Progressive
tional committee, and some of the candidates
had withdrawn, number of Progressives cast
their ballots. This will entitle the candidates

of them will decline the nomination.
