Thon "they were informed by tbe agents of tho room that a meeting had been called by a number of parties at 4 o'olock In tho, afternoon, and they had remained there until ths time when tha Inspectors came and demanded the room. The Agent informed the Inspectors that the parties who had hired the room for the afternoon, gavo him to understand that that they would clear the room and turn it ovor to him in good time, and when ho ordered them to do so he was refusod, and so informed tbo inspectors that ha conld not get tho people out. Two police officers were just inside tho room door, np stairs, and one of uicm, no. Baia ne was sent there trom down town In order to designate which should bo the lino from which tbo voting should commence. That he said ont to Mr.

aulsetiard in a very load manner. Tfien tha Inspectors, finding themselves in suoh a dilemma, and seeing that the room oould not be cleared, resolved, In order that every rotor might hare a chance to rote that la, evory one who is a member of the association and that thoy Bhould have a fair, square primary the inspectors re Bolved to hold tho primary in tho hallway, uudor the porch, as being porfectly accessible from both up and down stairs. On the ticket tha people am voting down etairs is tho following: Delegates D. W. Tallmadge, Charles Martin, Fhllo W.

Scofleld, J. A. Heaiy, Julius Hsgen. Alternates Clarence Stanley, Egbert Titus, Wm. Herod, O.

Chadwlok, i. A. Kehlbeck. The upstairs tickot was headed "Unpledged," though it was reported that Mr. Goorge F.

ElUott and Mr. Solomon Galangor, two er doputy sheriffs, were tho most prominent candidates for delegates to tho State Convention. The othor candidates named were Supervisor Nathan, James Flynn, Joseph Ellery, Major Dlok and Alderman 8eaman. Tho downstairs, or Nathan ticket, was headed "Antl Doggett Ticket." It was generally conceded last night that the result of holding two primaries will be the presence of contesting delegations from the Twonty third Ward at the Eleventh Assembly District Convontion. Tho fight Is the outgrowth of the contest that commoncod last Fall between tha Nathan ond anti Nathan factions.

Whon the olection for officers of tho association was held the Nathan faction succeeded In electing all their candidates with the exception of tho President of tho association. That offlcor wea elected by tho anti Nathan faction, ond eTer since that timo tho association has bcou iu a state of turmoil. The choice of tho Nathan men for Governor iB Mr. Cornell, and tho members of tho association are probably more united on that point than on any other. When the votes csmo to bo counted it was found that down stairs the straight Tallmadge tickot had got 210 and the total number of votos cost there was 201.

Up stairs 228 votes wero polled, of which 8 wero for tho Tallmadge ticket, which had consequently a total of 254. Tbe roll books of the association wero in tho hands of the inspectors and supervisors at tho Nathan primary, ond upstairs tbo voting is said to hovo boen done on a roll book owned by Mr. George F. Elliott, who was not a regularly elected inBpoctor, but was appointed to tha position by tbo President to fill a vacancy occasioned by the removal from tho ward of Mr, Martin, one of tho elected inspectors. TWENTY FOURTH WARD.

Contrary to expectation there waa only one ticket In the field at the Twenty fourth Ward Primary loBt night, ond that was In the Interest of what Is called tho Dreyer faction. Tho primary was held in tho wigwam on tho corner of Kingston and Atlantio avenues. Tho elderly gentleman who wears a stovepipe hat and swallow toil coat when in the performance of his duty as janitor was behind time, ond as tho polls were announced to open at half past soven o'clock. Alderman Droyor reclined against the door and It Immediately flow open Then tho polls were opened and tho following tickot was voted S. J.

Pordessus, Honry Jenkins, James Piatt. Alternates William Martin, William Howe, John Evans. Tbo tickot is said to bo strongly in tho interest of Commissioner Worth and Gonorol Jourdan, aud Mr. Philip Bronnan, who was principally Instrumental In getting it made up, will, it is Bold, bo Bent as a delegate to the State Convontion. Supervisor Von Wyck, Alexander Bay, 8ergcant at Arms of the Common Council, and other influential men In tho word wero present at the primary last night, but there was a noticeable and ominous obBonco on tbo part of thoso living in tho lower portion of the word.

The first choice of the active and Influential politicians of tho ward for Governor ia Hon. John H. Starin. They will not desert him until the lost chance of euccoss fails, and thon for a second choice they will concentrate their strength on Mr. Cornell.

TWENTY FIFTH WARD. The army of statesmen living in tho Twonty flfth Ward have never had what thoy claim to bo thoir fair proportion of pntroiiogo, and there bos been a chronic growl among them on that account for mony yeara paBt. Whon Alderman Jamen Powers was elected last Foil by such a handsome majority, they believed tho millenni um was about to down upon them, and they prepared to sit down at tho publio crib. If tho Alderman had found places for all who wanted them, overy department of the city ond county government would have been filled with Twenty fifth wardors. Circumstances over which he had no possible control, prevented him from providing evory ono of hie constituents with a placo.

Ho did tho host ho could and those who wore not provided for, oommeneed to growl, and threatened to go for tho Alderman's scalp at tho first opportunity. Last night's primary was selected by tbo growlers, and accordingly thoy patched up an opposition tickot, and at the samo timo frankly admitted that thoy did not oxpect to do more than worry the Alderman. It coutatuod tho following names Dolegatos B. T. Foster, John Irving, Cbarlei Eckert, HaRBoll Nutt, John M.

Elliott. Alternates Isaac II. Wcrthimer, John L. Suttou, Robert H. Davies, Wm McGivney, John Gilbert.

Tbo primary wos held on ths southeast cornor of Reld avenue and Jefferson street, tho polls remaining opon from seven to nino o'clock. Everything passed off in quiet, orderly and good humored manner, and from tho small number of votes received by the opposition ticket it was eldont that the strength of Alderman Powore has not been Impaired and bo will undoubtedly receive on additional proof of the reBpcct cntertaiuod for him by his neighbors and friends by being sent as delegate to tbo State Convention. Tho fight, if it can bo dignified by that name, wos local and personal one, and tho ward vote will bo cant tn tbo intercBt of Commissioner Worth. On the question of tho Governorship but little canvooKing baa been done. Tho candidates who hove been named for that office ore Cornell ond Starin, ond if tho Twenty fifth Word hod to decide tbo matter no mon would bet with anything like corUlnty on either of them.

Whllo tho mon wore In lino, and about half an hour beforo the closing of the polls, Thomas Cuuutll aud Peter Doon got into a wrangle as to the right of a colored man to rote. Although both men were friends, tbe argument grow so warm that Doon struck Council, and then a number of men got between them and restored harmony. With that exception, everything passed off in quiet ond peaceable manner. NEW LOT8. Ths primary election in New Lots was held la the bowling alloy attached to Ferchlond'a Hotel, corner of Liberty and Wyckoff avenues, East New York.

Thoro wos no excitement. Only one ticket wos in the field. The vote wos 38. Edward F. Linton recoivod 34 votes, Daniel Suss recoivod 33, William WaUon received 34 and Adolph Kiendl received 35.

Henry A. Maxwell, J. H. D. Hpraguo ond Theodore Kiendl, tho inspectors, thereupon declared tbc in delegates.

Tho delegation will su port Worth. FLATBUSH. Tho Willlnk House, the headquarters of tbo Flatbush Republican Association, was almost entirely entirely deserted last ovonlng. Tho proprietor, who has charge of the books and ballot box, was surprised when informed that a primary should bave been held. He said a number of tho prominent Republicans bad been there Monday night, but nothing about a primary wos mentioned.

As bis hotel was tho only plaoo where they oould meet he concluded they knew nothing about holding tho primary. FLATLANDS. Tho polls in tho Flatlonda primary wore hold in Lehman's Hotel. There were two tickets in tho field, but as no more than two voters were present at any one time, there was no excitement. Tbo tickot pledged to support Worth was carried.

John C. Matthews and William Lott are ths elected delegates. Tbo vote cast was 23. HONMOUTH PARK BACKS. About 1,000 persons attended tho races at Monmouth Park, Long Branch, yesterday afternoon.

David Tibner, a negro preacbr residing In New Lots, was tried before Justice Sherlock and a Jury yesterday afternoon, on a chargo of assault and battery made by his wife Anna. Her testimony was that he came homo on Saturday evening last and demanded his supper. She had been washing, and she told him if ho waited a short time he could hare it But that did not suit him. He becamo enraged, and, after storming around ths house for a short time, he left. Later he returned and threatened to kill her.

She went oat for protection. Whon she returned bo caught hold of bar and beat her about the head and shoulders. Her testimony was corroborated by a woman residing in tho samo house. The Bsv. David Tibner, in his own defense, admitted that be was out of pationco about the lateness of his supper, bnt denied the assault, stating that bo only pnt bis arm about her waist and carcsced her.

The Jury, not behoving his story, found huu guilt and Justice Sherlock sent him to jail for fifteen days. THE LATE JAMES LKATKi The afternoon and oveuiug picnic arnuifieil to taio placo at Lcffert's Park on Thurodoy, September 4, for tho benefit of the family of tho lote Police Sergeant James Lcavoy, promises to be largely ttouJoJ and to be a highly enjoyable affair. Tbo object a most worthy one, and it Is to bo hoped that tho many frlsnds of the lata Sergeant will not fail to euiitributo to tha twnout of his widow and cuttdrea. safe distance, and bites his at Mr. Tilden, imagining that he biting off the head of that gentleman.

Mr. Tilden certainly has the advantage in this controversy, if it can be so called, of clearness aud conciseness of statement. When he says that he was under no obligation, legal or moral, to any man, to refrain from selling his elevated railroad stock, and that he had sufficient reasons for selling when and as he did, everybody knows what he means but it is not so easy to understand Mr. Field, or to discover what he is really driving at. Tilden says that he determined to unload because he had no confidence in the management of the corporation and was not allowed to have a rep resentative of his interest in the board of directors.

Field says that this is "all bosh but immediately cees on to state that "we" re fused to make Mr. Cauda a director, merely because he was a representative of Mr. Tilden, Thus ho proves Tilden's case, and saves Uncle Sammy the necessity of further argument. Mr. Field was evidently at a loss for grievance.

There can be no doubt that he is angry, and he pitches upon Mr. Tilden as the object of his indignation. Something has disap nointerl him some scheme for turninflrthe pen nies of the public into his pocket has not wor85d as he honed it would: fickle fortune has A I attempted to rub his fur the wrong way therefore somebody must be to blame but he does not make it evident that Mr. Tilden is re sponsible for his ill luck or miscalculations. Why does he not find another scapegoat? When he was blessed with wonderful luck, and the outcome of his calculations was far more satisfactory than he had expected, he gave the praise to Providonoe, which had specially intervened in his behalf, at the cost of injuring a great many other people.

He should now, to be logical, bestow upon Providence some more or less genteel abuse for having turned against him. If he persists in dragging Mr. Tilden into that business, let him regard that gentleman as an instrument of Providence, who is not personally responsible for his acts. The Relations olCorinanr and Russia. The cable keeps tho New World informed, by occasional dispatches, of the gradual cooling of the relations between two great Powers of Europo, namely, Germany and Russia, just as for some years back it has indicated existenoe of a bond of union such as seemed infrangible.

Even semiofficial Russian newspapers have uttered a plaint that Germany now prefers the friendship of Austria to that of Russia. But it requires no such confession on the part of the Russian to bring conviction of the fact that the tie that bouud has gradually been dissolved, while tho friendship of Austria and Germany was offioially and without the least question in the world, sincerely, proclaimed by Bismarck at Berlin, in deed as well as in word. For, said Bismarck, the whole power of Germany was pledged before Europe for tho maintenancejof Austrian integrity, and the concert of aotion among tho Powers, including Germany, France and England to the utter annihilation of the audacious Russian programme, was pretty good evidence of the good faith of the German Chancellor. That the situation does not mean a rupture of all relations is perfectly intelligible, and tho fact that General Man teufel has been sent on a complimentarv mission to Warsaw does not alter the fact in any way. Tho situation is simply this That Russia's programmo no longer meets with tho consent of Germany, and that before the entente cordiale is restored that programme must be considerably modified.

As for its re sultiue iu strife, that is the least liielv of cveuts Eu6Hia is in n0 conditiou to fight China, let alone tho combined forces of Europe, which is what an appeal to arms would signify. A glance at recent history makes everything clear. The intimacies of nations like thoso of individuals are based upon a community of interest. During recent times Russia could well afford to givo Germany moral support in her operations against Austria first and France later, for sho was the gainer. Similarly when the Russian demanded the expulsion of the Turk from the Danubian provinces as an intruder, Germany willingly consented.

It throw its influence into the scale and checked Austria when England looked to her for an alliance to maintain the Turk in Europe. The Turk had to go. That accomplished tho Russian disclosed his ulterior object which was quite another thing. He proposed after ejecting the Turk from the Danubian provinces to put the Russian in, to seize Bessarabia and Russianize the Balkan Peninsula, threatening Austria above all things. To this the treaty of San Stefano and all the military operations before Constantinople were directed.

But between expelling the Turk and establishing the Russian there was a world of difference. Bismarck was quite content with the first proposition, but promptly put his foot down on the second, and for very excellent reasons. The administrative problem in Germany alone is one of sufficient proportions for Bismarck tograp ple with as it is. Plenty of territory and quite enough of heterogeneity of population exist within its limits to keep the German Chancellor busy. He wants no more territory from his neighbor, Austria, Nor does he want any other neighbor than Austria.

Tho social problem in that progressive but somewhat hctcrogeneously composed country is still to be worked out, and for the nost half century the development of both countries must be mutual. But more than that, to insure peace abroad Germany is determined to seo Austria' strengthened to repel any Russian aggression, aud here we see the explanation of Bismarck's pledge of the entire power of Germany to resist any attempt to reduce her strength. Austria occupies the position of a most serviceable ally of Germany, and tho German interest is clearly to add to her efficiency as an ally. The commercial view of the situation points to a similar identity of interest. To highly developed countries the development of tho remainder of Europo is essential, and this fact alone would unite England, France and Germany in an effort to assist Austria in the development, first, of markets and, second, of her own resources.

Indeed, the demands of commerce seem to warrant the unity of Western Europo as against any disturbances in the East. The fact that Russia utterly overreached herself in the last war, was permitted at vast expense, both iu blood and prestige, to carry out the preliminaries of her programme, and was then robbed of the reward which she coveted by the perfect concert of action at Berlin, is just as well understood in Russia as it is in other parts of Europe. So long as sho keeps that prize in view, namely, the establishment of Russian influence south of the Balkans, to the menace of Austria, so long will she have good reason to feel herself a stranger and an outcast from the European community. This is precisely what the present coolness signifies, and to maintain, in the face of tho conditions that we have endeavored to present, that there is a simple misunderstanding, or that Germany has something to explain, or that the coolness is a matter of caprice, or that tho old intimacy can be restored Is absurd. The Russian wants something that the German is bound by his own interests to prevent his having.

It so happens that the coveted objoot is indispensable to the realization of the Russian dream since the days of Peter the Great Constantinople. Onoe every twenty, two years, for two centuries, has he fought for it, and now he is further from it than ever. No wonder he is sad? and sick at heart with bitter disappointment. The racing at Monmouth Park, yesterday, was unusually interesting in spite of the drizzling rain and the slushy condition of the track. The Lorillard stables were very well represented, and Mr.

L. Lorillard had the gratification of winning three straight events. This result was exceedingly gratifying to the onlookers, for the winning of a race by any of the Lorillard horses is always a signal that the best horse has won, and, therefore, that the race has been tvfair one. It is a curious fact that the non sporting person who, to givo a little excitement to a horse race, bets a few dollars upon a horse, generally selects one owned by a Lorillard. Ho does this, perhaps, in the absence of "tips," on the whist principle, when in doubt play a trump." It may be that the particular horse will be beaten, but after all the winning of a race is not everything.

Aa the speed was not great tho englno ran but a few feet. Only the rear trucked wheels left the track, the driving wheels remaining stationary.

There was on Immense mass meeting of worklngmen In San Francisco last night.

A carious phase of the fever Is developed in the fact that to givo up all hope of recovery and becomo frightened is to invite death. Neither medlclno nor attention has any effect upon a patient of this character, no matter how mild the typo of disease may be.

The mind has no little to do with yellow fever, It being peculiarly a disease of the nervous system, and tho patient who is determined to get well nearly always does so. The colored people have agreed te keep their places of worship dosed for the present. Among the new patients are a number of well known business men of the city. Several new cases havo appeared In Chelsea, heretofore an uninfected portion of the city. The physicians are trying to discover how the spores, If such exist, are carried from place to place.

The microscope has not as yet discovered anything to sustain the living spore theory. The delay in repairing the Patent Office at Washington, which was partially burned on tbe 24th of September, 1877, has caused much inconvonlenco to the occupants during the recent heavy etorms, A temporary roof wb thrown over the exposed portion of the building, but it was thought best not to begin the work ot permanent restoration until plans could be considered for securing an increase of working room within the building, and thus meeting a pressing want of i Interior Department.

General Grant has authorized Admiral Amnion to eay that he must not bo considered" a candidate for any political office In the United States.

It is said that tho purpose General Grant had in view during his tour through Europe was to learn for himself what encouragement the construction of an lnteroceanio canal would receive from European capitalists if the enterprise was In American hands. General Grant, during blB Btay in London.and Berlin, had frequent interviews with capitalists, and it is said the new company will include In its ranks tho leading capitalists of our own and European nations, whose purpose will be to oon Btruot the canal under his leadership.

Tho primary was held In Braan's Hal), corner of Twenty third street and Fifth avenue, from 7:30 until 0 o'clock, and from beginning to end was quiet and uneventful. There were two tioketsia the field, Jourdan and anti Jourdan, or the Henry Dutcher Palmer ticket The Jourdan ticket waa headed by Jamos Cocroft and tbe opposition by Garret Bergen and also had Cocrof t'B name. Tho Worth Daggett fight does not enter Into the political questions of South Brooklyn, although the Jourdan men supported Worth last Fall, and are probably on that Bide now. Tho Jourdan men had the lead and the vote was a pretty full one, 300 ballots being considered a very large primary in the Eighth Ward The Jourdan men had manifested no preference for Governor as botweon Starin or Cornell, and, Indeed, tho preference of the Kings County men, so far aa expressed, appears to be for Bobertson. The victorious ticket Is published elsewhere.

The Eighth belongs to the new Tenth Assembly District, The Jourdan ticket was successful. NINTH WABD. At the Ninth Ward Primary, which was held laet night In tho office of a livery stable, corner of Flatbush avenue and Pork placa, everything was quiet, making quite a contrast with the election of last year, at which there was a general, row. There were about 200 votes cast from halt past seven till nine o'olock, at which time the polls were closed. There was only one ticket for delegates to the Assembly Convention, who were, of course, elected almost unanimously.

The sentiment of the majority of the membors is in favor of CorneU for Governor and the Honorable Jacob Worth for the State Commltteo. TENTH WABD. The primary in thle ward was held at 339 Smith street. It opened at half past seven, and closed at ton o'clock, the voting stopping when there was Btill a long line of ballot holders on tho sidewalk. There woro two tickets in the Hold, the following being tho ono indorsed as regular Georgo B.

Forrestor, Wm. Henry Beard, William H. James Banner, William Caaeidy, John R. Greason, The candidates upon tho opposition ticket wero Georgo P. Clark, J.

9. LoomtB, W. C. Bcimer, Charles Hermancc, Hilon Hendorshott, Martin V. Plumb.

An hour before the poUs opened it became very evi dent that the struggle wan to bo of the liveliest possible character. The police fully understood that very blttor feelings provaUed on either side, and mado provision for any emergency that might arise. Sergeant Kellett had charge of tho thirty men detailed to prosorvo order, the officers coming from the Third, Eighth, Eighth sub, Tenth and Eleventh precincts. This imposing display of guardians of tho peace had a vory wholesome effect, for while there wan no want of excitement during the continuance of tho primary nothing oven suggesting a disturbance took place. The advocates of the opposition predicted the selection of thoir ticket by at least fifty majority, and thoy workod like beavers to justify tho prediction.

Corporal Tanner was tho moving spirit among ths malcontents, though he took no active part in this ward. His followers, who woro, of course, serving Dutchor whoa thoy served him, were defeated, but It was through no lack of offort on thoir part. Assemblyman Trowbridge bore the brunt of tho fight against tho Jourdan or regular ticket, and he displayed powers of endurance of a very rare order. Tho crowd of men waiting for an opportunity to cast thoir ballots stretched so far away that tho tall of the lino was lost in tho darkness. In its composition the strategy of tho ward politician was plainly seen.

Many of those who waited for thoir turn with commendable pationco had no more right to vote at the primary than a Democrat, and the result waa that many legitimate ballots were not deposited. Tho opposition was confi dent; the regulars quiet and determined. "If they would only givo our men a chance to voto," said Mr. Trowbridge, "we would beat them two to one and as it is I would not give a cent odds on either side." At half past nine the fight had become so warm that it bore much more resemblance to a regular election thon anything else. Every voter who looked like a passer by fell into the hands of the workor, tho vigor of tho tickot peddlers increasing as the hour approached for the oioBing of the polls.

At ten o'clock exactly vot ing was stopped and the ballots counted. There wero 230 in the box, and ol these the small ticket that was headed by George P. Clark was found to have received 100. Tho count was conductod iu a very quiet, orderly fashion, and tho chiefs of the victorious side did nothing moro boisterous in the way of celebration than to indulge in a social glass of beer. Mr.

Trowbridge will bo tho delegate from tho Tenth Ward to tho State Convention, He does not know which Gubernotorial candidate will capturo his voto. ELEVESTH WABD. Tho primary in this ward was one of tho most closely contested, aud, considering the time occupied, ono of tho heaviest eer hold there. It resulted in the success of the Amoiornian or anti Jourdan ticket by a small majority. There woro two tickets run.

Ono hooded by Alderman Graham, which was known as tho Association or Ammerman ticket, and tho pother headed by Henry A. Aehwell, which was known as tho Jourdan or Griswold ticket. In one renpect the fight was, as one of tho "boys" put it, tho Hill against tho Hollow." Al though General Jourdan is in tho 8econd Congressional District, while the Eleventh Ward is in the Third, the fight waa really ngMuet him. Daggett is tho State Committeeman in the Third Dis trict. The withdrawal of Daggott from tho Stato Com mittee contest made no appreciable difference in the primary, tho struggle going on just as fiercely as if ho had been Btumping the ward.

Both sides recognized it as between Palmer and his lieutenant, Ammerman, qn me ono siuo ana uouruan on me oiuer. 1'ho primary was held in Navy street, near Fulton, and opened at seven o'clock. As early as three o'clock in the afternoon a section of Jourdan's supporters formed a line near the polling place and patiently waited the arrival of tho hour for the voting to commence. The. Ammerman leaders coming later were surprised by this movement of the enemy, and rallied their forces as quickly as possible.

Consequently, there was an immense crowd ol partisans on both sides present when the polls were opened. A row about the inspectors enlivened the oponing proceedings. In the official call for the primaries Oscar Hudson, Jerome Johnson and Thomas Lynch were published as tho inspectors for the Eleventh Ward. Mr. Hudson failed to appear, and tho other two Inspectors, under the rule of the General Committee, elected A.

S. Joy to act in his place. Joy is an active member of tho Ammerman faction, and holds a place in ono of tho city departments. As soon as ho took his scat to act with the other inspectors, Sam Avila, a leading Jourdan man, Interrupted, and claimed to be tho legally appointed third inspector, haviug been chosen in accordance with the rules by tho ward delegates to tho General Committee. He and his friends alleged that Mr.

Hudson had boen surreptitiously named end published, and that Mr. Hudson, knowing thiB, had refused to act. Sir. Avila produced a letter from Mr. Norton, Secre tary of the General Committee, setting forth that he (Avila) had been returned as tho regularly appointed third inspector.

Police Sergeant Car penter thereupon gently handled the iappol of Mr. Joy's coat and Invited him to get out. He got, and tho primary proceeded, the voting being very Bplrltoa from beginning to end. A gang of darkies from Hudson avenue, piloted by Brown, the messenger of the Sheriff's office, arrived early and voted for the Jordan ticket. Ammerman and several of his moro intimate workers, including President Day of the ward association, and John Cavan (the latter having withdrawn from an active support of the Jourdan fntorest heretofore) were on hand to see that things were going right.

Major Sam. Bichards and John Stinson were present to manage the fight for Jourdan. There were charges of repeating and otherwise crooked voting on both Bides, but taking into consideration the deep interest felt in the contest, the primary was a quiet one. At nine o'olook the pollB wore closed, and about three quarters of an hour thereafter the inspectors announced that the Graham ticket had received 118 and the Ashwell ticket 107 votes. This an nouncement was received with loud cheering by the Ammermen men, while Jourdan's workers wero corres pondingly depressed.

The success of the Graham ticket means the olection of Messrs. Ammerman and Eph. Roberts aa delegates from the Eleventh Ward (portion of Fourth Assembly District) to the State Convention, as foreshadowed In tho Eaole last week. It also means opposition to Dave Stewart for the State Committee, and may mean the support of Franklin Woodruff, although Ammerman himself la said to be a candidate. The Eleventh Wrftd delegates to tha Assembly District Convention, eight in number, can take all the State Convention delegates from that district; but It ia understood that the Fifth Ward will be allowed one, provided he is of tho right stripe that is, oppoesed to Jourdan.

The delegates to Saratoga will go unpledged. The following it tho Jourdan ticket, which was run at the primary, in full: Henry A. Ashwell, John J. Schlusser, Jeremiah H. Jenkins, Samuel A.

Avila, Thomas C. Hale, Robert Swift, William O. Nelson and Wlnfleld S. Mount. TWELFTH WABD.

Tho primary of tha Twelfth Ward Republican Asso ciation was held at No. 234 Hamilton avenuo. There were three tickets in the Held, one favoring Jourdan, one in the interests oi Henry, and the third known aa the Custom House ticket. Ths first mentioned was victorious. The election passed off quieUy.

The polls were closed at 8 o'olock and a count of the votes were taken. The Jourdan ticket received 100 votes. TOTBTEENTH WABD. There was no opposition at the Thirteenth Ward pri mary last evening to tho caucus, or Leayersft, Ucket ran in the interest of Worth. The feeling between the friends of Bay and Leaycraft wasjbitter, and several altercations which, tn one instance led to blows, occurred Monday evening.

On account of the threat of Curtlss, Bay's henchman, to run an opposition ticket last even ing, Leaycraf t'fl friends were out in full force. A great orowd collected early In the evening at the polling place on Broadway, near Fourth street, In anticipation ot lively tunes, but the Ray faction failed to make their threat good. The Worth ticket was elected without op position. Bay'a friends claimed that they were deceived at the caucus by their opponents and they loudly boast ed that they would squaro up accounts at tho next pri mary. But Bay must knuckle down and kiss tbe hand that smites him or his political future is sealed.

FOURTEENTH WABD, The Worth ticket, as represented by Mr. 8. T. waa elected without opposition in the Fourteen Ward. The primary was held in Hamilton Hall, on Fourth street.

FIFTEENTH WABD. A very lively, opposition prevailed at the Fifteenth Ward Primary, based wholly upon local issues of a somewhat personal character. Alderman Smith and bis friends were antagonized in particular by Mr. Hub bard Hendrickson and others anxious to obtain a con trol in the ward management. For this reason alone, it la Bald, Hendrickson and others of the would ba leaders of years past determined to try their strength in the hope of retaining their old time prestige.

result aa announced when the count bad been completed, was certainly not anticipated by Alderman Smith's friends who were stated to bo in a hopeless tfitxjorlty. The proportion of votes according to the canvass was as one for Smith to tour tot the Hendriok aon ticket, the exact figures being 14 to 101 respectively. Cries of "fraud," and "swindle," ana otner terms excentinff to tho result given above were to ue neara on all gide, while some threats were also made against the inspectors. Sergeant WormaU and ft squad of men from tho Sixth Preolnet prevented any breach of the peace, however. Subsequently an impromptu innignauuu meeting was held at American Hall, in North 8econd atreet, by Alderman wmiura aanercnio, uuus ciguigr vi whom staled they had voted the ticket in proof of tho alleged fraud in tho count.

Taylor. The present indications are that Gonorol Jourdan has won in the Second Congressional District and Com missioner Worth in tho Fourth District. Daggett was forced out of the contest for State Commltteo in the Third DiBtrict, and tho friends of Alderman Dave Stewart claim tho results of the primaries in that district indicate that he will secure tho appointment. A number of tho wards in the Third District have been carried by the supporters of Commissioner Worth. Tho collapao of Daggott seems to bo comj lite.

It is impossiblo to foreshadow now how tho dolcga gation for Kings to Saratoga will stand in regard to tho Gubernatorial nomination. The Assembly District del egates elected last evening ore divided in their choice. As thoy aro inclined, so will the State Convention dole gates be inclined. Senator Robertson appears to he fa vorably regarded by a portion of the party, and is gain ing strength doily. An old politician about tho primaries lost night said that tho delegations from Kings would certainly go unpledged, and just how thoy stood would not be known until they came to caucus.

Othors had it that the majoriiy would ba for Cornell, with Bobeitsou for next choice. Notetf on (lie Contest Completion of (bo Delofrations as Regards tbo State Committee. FIRST WABD. This, with the Sixth Ward, forms the First Assembly DiBtrict. The regular ticket, which wa3 beaten, was in the intorcBt of Daggett and was as follows Seth Low, George L.

Nichols, Edmund tV. Ooriios, Thomas W. Carroll, Rodnoy C. Ward, George K. Douglass and Channlog Frothingbam.

Ths ticket elected sonds George Roberts to the convention, aud tho delegation is strongly Palmer Henry. On the subject of Gover nor they express no oholoe, SECOND WABD. The Second Ward primary was held at No. 127 Tork streot, the Inspectors being William Burton, John Skelly and A. T.

Wilson. There was but one ticket in the field, and that contained the names of William Luxton and George Q. Hornung as delegates to ths Second Assembly District Convention. These delegates are de cided Palmer men, and opposed to Jourdan, with a preference fof Stsrin for Governor. The inspectors claimed that fifty votes were cast, but, from the reporter's observation, there wero certainly not twonty bal loto deDosltcd In the box.

Tho polls were not olosed at the proper time. At twenty two minutes past eight three mon desired to voto, and found the primary over. Tho Second Ward men appeared to take more interest in the Fourth Ward primary than In their own, as during the greater part of tho evening they were to be seen in the hall whore the former was held. THIBD WABD. It was supposed that there would bo a very Bpirited fight in thiB ward, but when the polls opened the opposition to the regular ticket fizzled out in a very undignified manner.

The primary was held at 132 Fulton street aud proved to be a very tame affair. "Bon" Lewis and "Ed" Baker are credited with having entered the field with the "Non Office Holders" tioket, but after the first half hour very little evidonco of the existence of such a ticket was apparont. No one was peddling it, and it was with difficulty that a copy of it could be found at nine o'clock. The regular tioket was chosen by a majority of about 175 out 221! votes. The election of the ticket Insures tho choice of at least one Jourdan man as delegate to tho Stato Convention.

Of the twelve delegates to tho Third Assembly District Convontion, tho Third and Tenth wards have Bix each, Tho delegates will be called upon to name three men to the State Convention, and tho probabilities are that the Third Ward will name two of thoin. If It does they will select General DeLacy and AJdenntn, Aitken, neither of whom would Bay last evening who was his choice for the Governorship. FpTJBTH WABD. Yesterday afternoon it was expected that the Fourth Ward Primary would be as li vely.as any held In the ward for a long time. It was or although there were two tickets in the field, and opposition ran high, there was no disturbance of any kind.

The primary waa held at Sawyer's Hall, on tho oonier of Jay and Fulton streets, the polls being open from half past seven until half past Dine o'clock, and thp inspectors being James Given, P. J. Mulholland and Andrew Smith. The fight was be tween Joe Beevo and Mike Dady, the termer coming off victorious. Benjamin Hopkins was booked' by both tickets, and consequently his election as a delegate to the State Convention assured.

Ono ticket wis in favor of Hopkins and Ecove, aa delegates, and tha other waa in favor of Hopkins and Albert C. Wheeler, as delegates, Dady, of course, favor 1 ing the bitter. There Were 157 Beeve ttoketacast, and on them were the following names as delegates to the Second Assembly Convention: Jamas Given, John Goman, Alfred P. Dorlon, John H. Bennett and William P.

Hutt. Of Dady tiokets backing Wheeler as opposed to Beeve, there wero 78. The delegates on Dady'a ticket were A. O. Wheeler, F.

M. Crafts, James Given, B. D. Baldwin and G. Dillon, Jr.

Ths vote was not unusually Urge. Challenges wero of frequent occurrence, and when there was any doubt, the oath was administered to the person desiring to vote. There were parties who attempted to vote under the names of James Cochran and Samuel Hoaford, but their ballots wero not taken, as they were known not to the penona they pretended to bo. Several colored men attempted to sptti vote under tho name of Charles Smith, but thoy wmo promptly taken to the rear of the hall. Thirteen policemen were present Nothing could bo ascertained regarding the complexion of the winning tickets, the delegates all claiming to bo unpledged.

FIFTH WABD, There waa but ono ticket is the field, and it was headed by Peter B. Cromwell, President of tho ward association. Ths primary was held at the corner of High and Bridge streets, and passed off very quietly, about a hundred votes being cast. Gossip about the primary had it that Wm. A.

Murphy would bo presented as the candidate of the Fifth Ward for delegate to the Stato Convention. Mr. Murphy said he did not know whom ho Bhould favor for the Gubernatorial nomination, or for State Committeeman. One or two other parties were also mentioned as possible candidates for delegates to the Btate Convention but moat persistent inquiry failed to show how any of them, or any of tha Assembly district delegates wero disposed in regard to the State Committee contest. It is thought that the Fifth Ward men wanted to Bee how the fight is the Eleventh Ward resulted before committing thomflelves.

On the other hand, it la claimed that Murphy Is an anU Jourdan man. The Fifth Warders must understand that thoy will have to present an ont and out Palmer man if they want a delegate to Saratoga. SIXTH WABD. This ward and the First form the First Assembly District. There was no opposition tioket.

The delegates aro Palmer Henry men, equally opposed to Jour dan, Daggett and Worth. On tho Bubject of Governor they express no choice. SEVENTH WABD. The Seventh Ward primary was held InMcKnight'a Hall, on Classon avenue, near Myrtle. There waa no contest, a fusion having been effected between the faction headed by Aldennan "Dave" Stewart, and that in which tho.

Hon. John Henry BurUa has in times past figured as a leader. The delegates to tho Eleventh Assembly District Convention were chosen unanimously, 204 votes being cast for them. They are aH favorable to tbe olection of Alderman David S. Stewart as a member of tho Republican Stato Committee.

Nothing haa yet been decided as to who shall be sent aa delegates to the State Convention, but thertare several candidates, in ity of one or two stables has been achieved ex actly as commercial credit is obtained by unfaltering honesty. The man who does the best he can at all times, and in spite of immediate profits to be made by not doing so, will surely establish credit, whether he sells tape, makes shoes, speculates in grain, or enters horses on the track. Anti Tammany at Syracuse. The Anti Tammany Democrats of New York hare determined that meetings shall be held next Monday to elect delegates to the State Convention. This was to be expected.

It is also entirely proper. The Anti Tammany Democrats, demanding adnusBicjnjg Syracuse Convention, will present j' very strong case to the Demooraov of the Stated If they are not so numerous as the other faction, they have been able to gain control of the city government, and the possession of power en titles them to consideration. They will olaim that Tammany Hall, as at present constituted, is neither a Democratio nor a representative organization. As a matter of principle this claim has heretofore been large ly admitted as a matter of fact its justice hos been made more evident than ever by recent events. The last munioipal election proved beyond the possibility of, a doubt that Tam many Hall, no matter what the number of its adherents may be, is the most striking illus tration the country has ever seen of one man rule.

Tweed was once Tammany Hall now John Kelly is the dictator of the organization. It has been diverted from its original objects to the ends of personal leadership. John Kelly prescribes its policy and dictates its candidates. The voters of the party have no choice in the matter. They aro like "dumb, driven cattle," yoked to tho car of John Kelly, and compelled to haul such loads as he gives them, in such directions as he points out to them.

It may be said that they can oppose, the dictation of Mr. Kelly if they do not desire it but if they attempt to do so he banishes them from Tammany Hall and reads them out of the organ ization. Thus he keeps the concern a close corporation, "run" by a few insiders, of whom he is the chief. It is needless to say that this is not Democracy. It would bo impossible to conceive of anything more undemocratic than the methods adopted by tho Tammany organization under Mr.

Kelly's control. If that gentleman were a pattern of perfection as a man and a politician, his rule would still be damaging to the Democratic party in the city and the State. Mr. Kelly has lately emphasized his offen sive attitude, and has put tho undemocratic ideas of Tammany Hall more olearly before tho people, by his declaration that he and his organization will not abide by tho action of the Convention, unless he is allowed to exercise a dictatorial control over its leading nomination. It is generally agreed that dele gates who announce in advance their intention of bolting, in case the action of tho Convention fails to please them, ought not to bo admitted to its deliberations but Mr.

Kelly's delegates will apply for admission with that declaration on thoir lips. Submission to the will of the majority is the basic principle of the Democratic party but it is a principle against which Mr. Kelly's organization has distinctly committed itsolf. The admission of tho Tammany delegates would be the admission of an element foreign to Democratic principles and methods, whose influence cannot fail to be hurtful to the party. Such is the oaso which the anti Tammany delegation can pre sent to the Syracuse Convention, and it must be admitted that it is a very strong case.

Against it there is nothing but the dictatorial claim of one man who claims to control a largo mass of Democratic voters. Is it right to consider his claim when ho asserts that he can control them against the Democratic party, and that he will so control thorn if the Convention refuses to submit to his dictation Is it for Mr. Kelly that thoy have voted hitherto, or for the party Is it credible that they will follow him out of the Democratic fold when he attempts to compel them to oppose tho action of a Democratic State Convention It would bo worth while to test the truth of Mr. Kelly's claim. The Eagle of yesterday contained two brief but instructive incidents, which form a better temperance lecture than three fourths of those which are delivered from the platform.

In both cases a child was the victim. A woman gets drunk, and her first act is to assault a mere infant of only two years and a half old, the daughter of a neighbor, and satisfy her alcoholized musoular energy by knocking its head against the sidewalk. It is very doubtful if the child's life can be saved, and, if it is, thero is every probability of its suffering from head pains or epilepsy all its life, as a result of its injuries. In the other case, the parents of little Mary Quinlan, whose ago is five years, and who lies at Bellevue Hospital in a most precarious state, can only be a'coused of culpable negligence. Tho father, who had returned from a journey, drew from his pocket a pint flask of whisky, from which he took a little, and he and his wife then went out, leaving the whisky bottle on the table and the little child in the room.

Having seen her parents sip it she thought it must be something very good, and, incredible as it seems, emptied the whole of it down her throat. On the return of her parents they found her insensible, and with soarcely a sign of life. Her recovery is still doubtful, though tho hospital physicians are using every effort to Bave her. At a time when temperance advocates aro warning parents that a little pepper and salt in food, or a few drops of Jamaica ginger are sure to create a lifelong craving for alcohol, it would, perhaps, be as well for them to vary their strain and explain to such intellig'eut'parents as the Quinlans that the most effectual way of causing the death of their children by intoxication is to leave a pint of whisky on the table before them, with every facility for helping themselves. The Lemars Sentinel is a Stalwart Republican newspaper up in Iowa which imitates for its side the style of the fire eating Okolona States, of Mississippi.

Its editor is six feet high, and weighs. 250 pounds. Recently he was whipped by a school teacher whom he had slandered, a little, weazened fellow, like John T.

The Boston Herald, calculating closely, says that the First National Bank of New York will gain in the neighborhood of $100,000 by the postponement of its settlement" of bond account. This amount of $100,000 is taken out of the pockets of the taxpayers by John Sherman, and given to his pet bank, which thus becomes able to supply money for campaign purposes in Ohio. Our esteemed Republican contemporaries ought not to refer to Returning Board Case nave as a Was Judas Iscariot a beggar when he demanded the thirty pieces of silver that were his due Republican journals, while asserting that Democratio newspapers have nothing to Bay about the Yazoo outrages, have adopted with great unanimity the Eaolb'b expression, "The "Yahoos of Yazoo."

Tbe Repnbllcan Primaries; The primaries held by the local Republicans last night resulted in victory for Mr. Worth aa against Mr. Daggett, and for General Jourdim as against Messrs.

Palmer, Dutcher and Henry. This is what the Eagle anticipated. Applying the principle that gratitude is a lively sense of favors to come, it was all but inevitable that the ex Sheriff, who has no patronage to bestow, should fall before tho Commissioner who has it in his power to reward his friends and punish his opponents. In its way, this struggle is instructive. It shows how the dogs that lick the hand that feeds them may be relied on to bite the hand when they find it empty.

"When Daggett was in the Sheriffs office he was lauded to tho skies by our local Republican contemporaries. Whatever he saw fit to do was defended, and any criticism made by the Eaole in the public interest was denounced as the product of partisan malignity. The day he ceased to be Sheriff these same journals turned and began to abuse hiin like a pair of drabs. Men in office ought to profit so far by this example as to hold the praise and blame of such sheets in equal contempt. The public are rarely misled by tho utterances of mere mercenaries.

Hessianism in journalism is as contemptible as in war, and it is just as easy to discover it in the one domain as in the other. As to the merits of the quarrel between the ex Sheriff and Commissioner Worth, there is little to be said, for tho points are essentially personal, and, while the truth ia hard to get at, the public have the smallest possible concern in the matter. Mr. Worth cannot be other thau a man of considerable influence in our affairs. Even his adversaries will admit that he has tho admirable habit of carrying out his promises, is well informed on our local affairs, in bo far at least as manhood goes, and has a manner that makes friends.

The Eaole said this much of him when he was a candidate for tho Shrievalty, aud nothing has occurred since to change the estimate. At present, he is being patted on the back by a great many vain Republicans, who endeavored to impede his political progress when the Eaole took occasion to assure its Republican readers that he was a much better man than any of his typical opponents. We trust that he has seen enough of political life not to be misled by tho praise of creatures who were not long ago engaged in traducing him and who eulogized daily the same Mr. Daggett whom they are now assailing. Their good opinion is of no sort of consequence for they have no opinion thatisnot purchasable.

Tho man who does not feed them is a traitor and all who fill their stomachs are angels, even if they steal the provender. The returns from the primaries are so complicated that at the present writing we cannot say how complete tho victory is of General Jourdan over his opponents. We did not anticipate that they would be in any proper senso routed, and we have not been disappointed. It is clear that they disclesed a great deal of strength, and that in five or six wards, they have the upper hand. In the Second Congressional District, which General Jourdan represents in the State Committee, Palmer Co.

seem to have carried three wards namely, the Second, Fifth and Sixth, leaving I to Jourdan the Third, Eighth, Tenth, Twelfth Tweuty second, with the lower half of tho old First Ward doubtful, because there the declared issue, curiously enough, was between Worth and Daggett, aud the delegation chosen was put forward by Mr. Worth's friends. The upper half of the First Ward is clearly anti Jourdan, as is the Eleventh, but as both aro iu tho Third Congressional District, they do not affect his candidacy for the State Committee, aud only show the sentiment entertained against his political management. There are some other wards in which the Worth and Daggett issue was the only one declared, and whore for that reason it is difficult to tell just now what strength the coalition men developed. It is, however, not improbable, that if tho delegates chosen last night were gathered in a city convention, it would be found that a third of them are in tho anti Jourdan interest, certainly not a contenrptible showing, when it is remembered that they have very little patronage at their disposal, and have only recently got their forces into what may be termed defined form.

They are not strong enough to depose the General, but they are formidable enough to compel respoct and some concessions. If they had the sincero alliance of the Heights faction, they might obtain control; but it is noticeable that tho aristocratic wing of the party which Sam McLean represents on most occasions, and which contribute so handsomely to the campaign fund when Mr. Chittenden is a candidate, are very cold in their behavior toward the combination. Iudeed, while these influential few havo their grievances against Jourdan, it is an open secret that he is much more to their liking than any combination can bo in which Mr. Henry appears as the central figure.

Thoy openly opposed Mr. Henry in the race for the Mayoralty, and nothing has occurred since then to make them look on him with favor. Taking, therefore, the city as a whole into consideration, it may, we think, be said that General Jourdan and the gentlemen who act with him are still iu command of the local Republican party. In the sense in which the word "boss" is applied to our local affairs, the General is still the Republican boss though it is clear that ho must pursue a policy of conciliation, if he desires to continue in that position a position irksome in many respects and not half so gratifying in others as most people suppose. How does all this, the general reader may inquire, bear upon the coming election, if it bears at all The bearing, wo think, is obvious.

If the leading candidates were Jourdan men they would fare badly at the hands of the combination, and if the combination were permitted to put their pronounced friends forward, the result would be defeat of the worst kind barring some atrocious Democratic blunder. From this it follows that unless the rival leaders aro resolved on hori kari, men of neutral tint will have to be agreed on, or the nominations be dealt out on some pro rata principle mutually satisfactory. This conflict would seem to open the way for the Heights men to name the candidate for the Mayoralty, but Mr. Henry and his friends have a grudge to satisfy which would seem to bar such an arrangement. Those who think Henry counts for nothing are much mistaken.

He counts for considerable, and the party managers will hesitate before putting up a candidate whom he would knife on election day. The chances are, therefore, that the Heights men will be able to force the nomination of a candidate for the Mayoralty not objectionable to them, but will not be permitted to name any one distinctively of their circle. In short, Jourdan and his adversaries must effect a compromise, or the Democrats will have everything their own way. Mr. Field and His Grievances.

It is feared that Mr. Cyrus W. Field is talking himself, as it were, into a hole. In his personal quarrel with Samuel J. Tilden he has little chanoe for public sympathy, even if he could prove that he deserves it.

The general verdict would be that the biter had been bitten. That remarkable interview in which he lavishly praised the special Providence which had terribly oppressed the business and industries of the country, ruining thousands of honest and enterprising people, and thus made it possible to build an elevated railroad at extremly low rates that interview in which he thanked God for the ill wind that had blown harm to everybody but himself, has not Inspired his neighbors and fellow citizons with a high opinion of Mr. Field's unselfishness and liberality. Nobody admires the mechanic who is glad when another mechanic loses his kit of tools. Nor does Mr.

Field gain in public confidence by his spiteful talk about Mr. Tilden, which is too much like the cross grained chatter of some disappointed old woman. He makes out no sort of a case against Mr. Tilden, either of legal or moral dishonesty, but seems to endeavor to excite sympathy by darkly and vaguely hinting at the charges he can make if he wants to, or will moke when he than in earnest. The latter had been tint forward bv that chronic Joker, Major Fred.

J. Karchor, with a viow 01 giving prominence to George Wren and his Blnglo Biave bo patneucaily referred to by Mr. Wren at a recent meoung of the ward association. Thero was a compara tively smau crowa prosent, a very few of whom took any stook In the slave. In fact, but one of tho tickets entire was caBt, consequently the inspectors took no note wuaiever 01 any nut tho regular tioket.

Of course the delcgaUon is solid for Commissioner Worth. SEVENTEENTH WABD. It was rumored in the Seventeenth Ward Mondoy and yesterday afternoon that Major Clark and Captain Leo Nutting would run a ticket at the primary last evening in tno Interest of Daggett, but tho Worth tickot mado up by the regulars, as represented by Assessor Jansen and Mr. Joseph Gardiner, was eleoted without opposition, ft EIGHTEENTH WABD. But one ticket was run in this ward, and the voting was both slow and light.

Tho delegation of this ward and that of the Seventeenth, whioh comprise one As oembly district, are understood to be in the interest of the Jourdan Worth faction. NINETEENTH TTA ED. In this ward, the homo and stronghold of ex Sheriff Albert Daggett, tho Republicans' had a vory quiet time last night. The primary was held in a carpenter Bhop st No. 200 Hooper Btroet.

Little interest was folt in tha election, and only 122 votes wore polled for tho ticket headed by H. G. Taylor, for delegates to the Ninth Assembly District Convontion. Daggott did not put in an appearance ot tho polling placo, and his supporters had received no official notification of his withdrawal from tho Stato Committee, they were in a stato of un certainty bordoring upon disgust. Of course, every thing passed off just as Daggett bad ordered It, and a delegation favorable to his interests waa ohoBon to the Assembly District Convention.

Alderman Bsird, who was at the primary, said that he bad not aeon Daggett since Saturday last, and had received no word from him that he was out of tho race for tho State Committee. In his opinion, Daggett and John H. Schultz, the bakor, would be choaon as delegates to tho State Convontion. Many BepubllranB oppose tbe selection of Scnultz on the ground that he did his beBt In the Shrievalty contest last Fall to defeat Jacob Worth, and afterward boasted that he had been instrumental in electing Thomas M. Rlloy.

Daggett and Schultz are looked upon as machine men and will probably vote for Cornell In tho convention, if there is any prospect of his nomination. TWENTIETH WABD. The Twentieth Ward Republicans only came out in small numliers to their primary last evening. Tho election was held In a coal yard at the corner of Cumberland street and Greono avenue. Very fow of the leaders were prcsont, but onough of the small fry wore on hand to see that tho caucus programnie was carried out to the letter, A union having been effected between the French and Goodrich elements, there was no contest, and tho union ticket, heudod by Sir.

n. 8. Roberts, was successful, rocclviag a vote of 277, with but a few scattering ballots against it. The delegates to tho Assembly District Convention are pledged to voto for John A. Nlcholls and Willis R.

Warren for delogatos to the Republican State Convention. Both these gentlemen are opposed to a continuance of Daggett as a member of tbo Stato Commltteo. On tho question of the Governorship they are uon conimttta, but their intimate friends and ardent supporters aver that thoy prefer Cornell to any other candidate, ond that they will vote for him, providing there Is a possibility of his nomination. If Cornell does not develop strength enough to make him a ormldablo candidate, Nicholls and Warren will probably support Judge Robertaon. Warren is a clork in tho office of tho Western Union Telegraph Company, aud is said to have iutiniato relations with Cornell; and Nicholls, who is President of tho Knickerbocker Insurance Company, is looked upon as willing to follow tho lead of Insurance Superintendent Smyth, Conlrllng's factotum and Cornell's mauogcr.

Tho position of Warren aud Nicholls in regard to the Gubernotorial nomination is certainly peculiar, in view of tho fact that the Twentieth I flard Republican Association has indorsed Robertson and Sloan. There was Borne talk yesterday of an oppo sitiou ticket, but nothing of the kind appeared at tho primary, and tho well oilod machino, uudor tho manip '1 illation of tho heelors of both factions, worked to per fection. TWENTY FtBST WARD. The names of 3fr. Honry A.

Phillips, President of the Ward Association, headed tho regular, and what was designated as tho "People's," ticket voted at tho primary in tho Twenty first Ward last night. Thero was an opposition tickot made up of the following names: Goorgo W. Moore, Philip Doering, Stephen C. Phillips, Philip Correll, William H. Doughty, William H.

Allon, Andrew Ziehn and James Stafford. For what reason it was placed in the field did notcleariyappoar, although tho following high sounding phrases with which it was headod may possibly convey some information on that point Plodgod to oppose Ring rule, and in favor of a free expression of tho voice of the people." The primary waa a very quiot aud orderly ono, and voting proceodod bo slowly that a large number of men wero in lino when tho polla closed, Tho regular ticket was first favorite, and Aldoiman Davo Stowart, of the Seventh Ward, will bo tho choice of tho delegation for a placo on tho State Central Commltteo. Hon. John H. Starin heads tho list of candidates for Governor, and Mr.

Sloan is tho Bocond choice Tho names mentioned last night as delegates to the State Convention were those OI Goorge J. CoIUub and Captain John Mariolous. TWENTY SECOND WABD. This ward belongs to tho now Tenth Asombly District and Is in tho Second Congressional Dlstriot. Tho primary last night was hold in Eureka Hall, cornor of Seventh street ond Fifth avenue, and was ono of tho largest primaries ever hold In the ward.

It was quiet throughout, but tho amount of work done on either side was simply tremondons. It was Jourdan on one' Bldo, under tho loadorship of Alderman Fritz, and'Henry, Palmer, Co. on the other, under tho loadorship of Collector Jamos Tanner or of Silas B. Dufcher. The Worth Daggett question did not enter Into tha controversy in the slightest degree.

Tho fight had its local complexion in tbe faot that it was a measuring of swords between Aldermau Fritz and his opponents. Fritz has now represented the ward twice in the Common Council, and Is desirous of going a and ts a candidate for ronomlnatlon by the Republicans, but the opposition dcslro to put up Counselor John T. Campbel', Tho opposition ia strong and aggressive, and considered that they were in batter form last night than ever before. It was ono of the most hotly contested primaries ever hold in ths ward, and called out all the strength of both sides. The Jourdan Fritz tickot was headed by Daniel F.

Baker, and was printed with flaming head lines about "Unfledged" delegates and "In Favor of the Administration." Tbe Palmer Henry Dutcher Tan ner ticket waa headed by J. O. DeGrovo, Sr. Tho primary was held from six to ten o'clock four mortal hours and tho voting wont on briskly until half past nine. At eight o'clock the line reached from tbe ballot box, around three sides of the room, out into the hall, down the stairs, aud out into the street.

It was quiet and orderly, and thero appeared to be no attempt on either elilo to "ring iu" outsiders or play any sharp games. Each side was watched too close. Tho police force waB on hand, in the shape of wgood many officers in citizens clothes, who wero working like beavers for Jourdan. The workers wore ou hand at three o'clock in the afternoon and the ward was scoured from end to eud, and every available mon brought out. Frits' side hare possession of the books, and the opposition claims that he bos stuffed the roll with Democrats.
