An o noslllunvtlcknl was l‘-pmng by Mr, Nel- son, hut ths most he conld do was ‘to get 89 votes out of 230 polled. Tho Club_ticket was elected as follows; George E. White, Dr, Duucan McDougal, John Feldkamp, J. H, Cru- ver, ond 8, T, Gundersun. The delegation Is understood to be molid for Hammond for County Treasurer, but will give Hesing & com- plimentary vots on the first ballot, KLEVENTH, The contest In the Eleventh Ward was a de- eldedly intercsting one. The votlng was done, a8 heretofore, In_the office -of J. J. Brown's livery stable, on Madison street, near Throup. The regular Ward Club adopted a ticket to be voted for at the primarles, Baturday night. In opposition to this three other tickets were got- ten up, State Senator F, A, Riddle was on the regular Club-ticket, but he was for Kohlsaa of the Twelfth Ward, for Probate Judge, an apposed to McCrea for’ County Treasurer. ' The Club-ticket was a wholly unbpledged one, and Riddle thought he'd get up one in upposition, with his own uame on it,—n ticket that wouhl be Kohlsaat out dud out. He counted without hishost, Ho was *‘hoist by his own petard,” for the Club-ticket. was elected, excepting Rid- dle. As soon as Riddle’s ticket was found out, the regular Club-ticket was reprinted with Charley Heper's name instead of Riddle's, and that (s what did the work. It was printed on grecn‘rlhmr, and 134 of them wero cast, which cooked the Senator's poose, The total vote cast was 5, ol which Qeorge B. 8wift, o meu!u young inan in the ward, recelved 5545 the I ance of the ticket clecter was as follows: 1. B, Brigys, 371 votess J. J. Brown, 310; A. B, Cook, THE PRIMARIES, FINST WARD, The polle In the First Wanl were located on the corner of Monroe and Dearborn streets, and lie vote cast, 411, was the largest, perhaps, ever cast at w primary clection. There were two tickets, onc put In the field by the Ward Club, thc delerates on which are said to be un- pledged 88 to County Treasurer, but vledged to Tlenry 8. Hawley for County Clerk, J. J, Knick- erbocker for Probate Judge, and Omar Bush- nell for Judze of the County Court. This ticket waselected. Theother, headed by the Hon. John Wentworth, was gotten up by the friends of David Hammond, and contalned the names of four of those who were ou the Clulv's ticket. From this fact it is inferred that the delegation willbeadivided one. Allmag vote for Heslug on {he informal allot *as a compliment,” but four will probably soon desert him. As the whole dclegation §s solemnly pledged to Iawley, who san Amerfean, it is tikely that they will vote for some Uerman for Treasurer. An effort will be made in the Convention to change tho order of nominations, 8o as to make that of the County Clerk first, The following aro the names of the delegntes and the votes recelved by each: Arthur Dixon, 845; 1.

The balancl of the gentle- men, clgbt o nunber, are for McCres, and the delegation: will give cx-Ald, Briggs a compli- mentury vote, ot least. In the 8ceond Ward the vote was heavy, 563 tickets belng polled. There werg six (soine say seven) tickets o the fletd, and bLusiness wus fively all day, There was cnough scratching done to_satisfy the Duke of Argyle, nud the men whose names were on the iost tickets managed to gat through. The successful candi- dates and the number of votes polled by each were as follows: L. 1L, Davis, 413; Henry Boun, 8943 Willlam H, King, 3613 J. W, Hall, 351 ; Jolin Shaw, 2083 W. C. Smith, H8; E.

Davis, whose pame in somu mysterious way ot on nearly all the tickets, {8 understood to be favorable to the, pretensions of Mr. Hesing. Boun, King, Smith, aod Mason are opposed to Heslng, but other- wise unpledged. The colored delegates, Hall and 8haw, are In favor of Mr. Klokke lor Clerk of the County Court, The whole thing s badly mixed, and those wha wait will sce what comes it Tha Sceond Ward Club met at No. 513 State state, Mr. H, W.

Trude stuck to tho polls untll thelr close, bossting that ho was golng to have that delegation fixed; but it looks very little that way now, for it is stated upon good _authority that those elected will go into the Conventivn unpledged to m&; man, aud will vote for the beat mnu nominated. irT, ‘The polls in the Fifth Ward wero held at No, 100 Archer avenue, and & good vote was cast fur the threo tickets in tho tleld.
