SECOND CONGRESSIONAL, COL, DAVIR WILT, HE NOMINATED, .The primary meetings in the eight wards com-, tng the Sccond Congressional Distelct wore held yesterday afternoon, and tho Conyontion to nominate a candidate for Congress will meot this morning at 10 o'clock at No. 431 West Madi- sonatreet. Tho result of tho primarics was o yiotory for Col, Georga K. Davis, the present member, who sccured forty-cight out of tho poventy delegates. There is n possibility of a contest in tho Soventh Ward, which has six del- egates, but even [f thoy woro inseated tho result would not be changed. The Thirteenth and Fourtocnth Warts were carried by Mr, Mason, and tho ‘Tenth Js anti-Dayis. All tho thors wero curricd with but little diMiculty, and insomo cases with tame and spiritices contests, by Col. Davis. Jn tho Floyenth—his own ward— ‘Willard Woodard was badly defeated. Tho re- sult in detail fs as follows: SEVENTT, : ero was n lively time at tho Seventh Ward peimary,—at No. 378 West Twelfth which is in the boart of tho tough district. Soon ufter 4 aa i ju young mon mad , led by a young atreet-car conductor named Reatuon, Mithered aDOUL tho Foting window, and by dint of bard puehing and shoyiug made it al- most Imposaitle for voters to make tholr way to fhe polling-pince.

The valiant county oficitt strug led to the outskirts of tho crowd, had his inte lured optic swathed in bandages ata nelghbor- ing drug-store, and went hoino. Of course young Roartlon was noturrested, Thia was the only gorlous affray of tho dny, though thore was any number of “little scraps.” The window wns shut down precisely at 7 o'clock, tho judges went to. work thelr count. hey’ diseoyored — that aut i had licen const, whilo thero. wero but 246 omames on tho clerk's rojl. The Davis tiekot received 106 yates, nod Mason ticket 118, When the dis- erepaney referred to was discovored the Mason ayes deere that the matter should be taken iurtra tho Convention, but, as tho sixty-eight yotes tinnccounted for would not affect tho majority, itis not pinky to sco upon what tho “enntest* will be based. The tickets were similarly headed, and tho ar- mngemont of the naines was calculated to de- celve the unsuspectiug, Tho names of the suo- cessful delegates ure as follaws: Joseph M. Wober, . Hropbens, Denis O'lirlen, ons R, Bircham, John Sehmeltz, Henry Lappell, “The opposition ticket was made mp, ag follows: John 8. Menrs, Charles Hnappel, John A.

Norden, Jobu H, Cruyer, 5.1, Rovere, Au abortive attempt to create a little divore sion was innde by the yelled appearance of an- other tickot diifering in no wise from tho abovo except that J. HH. Burke was substituted rier, for John E, Norden. As nono of - tho Davis managers appeared on tha ground the Ucket was not hear and the delegates elected bave hopes ot maklug soincthiug out of their Influence to-day, ‘There Is no ward in this dityin which backsticesh Is 60 much of an ob- lect aa int tho Tenth, ELEVESTI Tho Davis men cnericd 1 and Mr, Woodard was slaughtered in tho house of hia friends,—in the ward which he bus mado bis homo for venrs.

The exact result, when formul- Iy tanto known to the crowd who remained out+ Wde toger the fual tigurns, astonlabed nobody. The Davin men had expected it and wore glad, And the Woodard men bad feared it and were down-hearted, There were just two tickets In the fleld.—one composed of men who were known ta ba Davis Gelegntes, and tho atherof men who wore known foboin tavor of Mr, Woodard.

Seven hundred dirgusted spectators held down the benches and cheered cach untucky play. At trast the cont seemed more like a practice match, tho visitors thumping the pitching of Gardner, who wns putin to relleve McCormilel, all over tho told, and the home nine chnaed the flying sphere in every direction, Now and then ench side setiled down to business and some fino stops and cutchca were mnde, Errors and basa hits were evenly divided, but the Chlengos were fortunate In bunching tholr bits, while those of Cleveland wero scattered. The visitors were first to bat, and scored five runs on two singles by Dalrymple, a two-bagger by Kelly, singles by. Anson and Corcoran, wild throws by Gardner, Kennedy, and Philtlps, and Phillips' mufted thrown ball. Eleven men wont to batin this toning. Inthe Afth fontyg Ansen got home on his double-bagger and Burns’ elngie, Dalrymple swelled tho score one in the alxttt toning hy his single, renched second and third on Kennedy's wild throw to second, and home on Kelly's sins gle. In tho seventh it was Anson's turn, and his «ingle, Glasscock's fumble of Burns’ grounder, and Gokismnith’s and Flint's out ot first uid tho business. Dunltp opened for the Clevelands witha bit}clean over loft-flcld fence, and ant. down on second while the urchtnsoutalie hunted the ball. He got to third on Hotaling's out ut iirst, and home on Ginsseock’s single. Tho second rin was scored by Gineecock in tho sixth inning on bis siugie, Kelly's wild throw, Phillips’ slngte, and Mcienry’s out at first. Threo runs worn added to the score inthe ninth fnning on Bingles by McGeary and Gardner, a doublo- bagger by Kennedy, a wild throw by Kelly, and mulfed flies by Quest and Goldsmith. Kelly went In to exten Jn the second inning, and played the remainder of the game with credit tohlmaeit, Kennedy, on the contrury, seemed to have lost his head, though muking a few fine stops, but tho wild pitching of Gardner probably hutwomes thing todo with It, The timpire cheated WHl- fiinson out of a baeo hit in the second loniag by declaring him out at first.
