WELL MAY BE NOMINATED Democratic Primaries Do Not Cottlo the Contest for Position of Sheriff. FIELD MAY UNITE AGA'NST. HARRY MILLER If the OiMinMltlun Doe * Not Crntrr Upon One of lluCntiill - i itntfN IliMvrll'n Cliiiiievn | M III He Rooil. , The democratic machine can draw but little comfort from the result of the primaries yesterday , whllo It has been generally understood that the machine was backing Harry Miller In lite candidacy for sheillT , the delegates chosen for this candidate cannot bo counted In all cases as being machlno men. Dan Honln , for Instance , ono of the most pliant tools of tbo machine , headed the Miller delegation In the Fourth wind , and the whole delegation was virtually pounded Into the ( moment. On the othel' band , In the Third ward the Miller delesa- ( Ion canted the day hands down , while the delegation almcst to a man has been allied with the anti-machine crowd , The Seventh ward delegation , which Is said to bo also for Miller , la a straight machlno ticket , cm- bracing In Its membership both Hd How ell and Charlie Tanning. An to the settling ot | he principal contest which Is to come tip In the convention , that over tlio nomination n candidate f or sheriff , the result of thorarlmaitcs ) has not ( been acry potent fnctof. The condition Is almost I.B unsettled now as it was iticvlous to the primaries. On the face ot the re turns Hnglemann and Miller have each three vvaids , Todliunter two , while the Se-cond ward has no choice for sheilff. Tbo situ ation leads tbreo posted on de-mociatlc poll- tc ! < S to believe that Miller will no Into tbq convention the strong man , but with not onouni" votes to secure 'his nomination , It IS expected that the nnglcmann and Tod- hunter forces will unite , and the feeling among the democrats lest night was that Hnglemann might b i the mini named , while tbo chances for How ell CM a dark lioitc had been Immeasureably impioved. No mention Is made of other candidates aside from those for the pcetttoii of shoilff. This seems to bo the only ono which tbo democrats are sure they will fcccurc in the tie up which Is planned to be made with the populists and silver icpubllcans. AVhllc the Second ward Is presumed to bo pledged to G. F. Elsasser for register of deeds , It lane no certain thing that ho will ever bo nblo' to command the full support of the dcleg.i-1 Hon. One of the members of tbat delegation last night said that the pledge waa made by one man , and that that did not can ) the whole delegation. LIVELY IN THE FIRST. In the First ward there was a red hot fight all the afternoon and several personal encounters at the polls were narrowly avoided. There were 2CSotes cast and the compromise Englemann and Todliunter dele gation waa elected by a small majoilty. There was no contest 1m the Second ward ami only seventj-eight votes were cast. The delegation is presumably for G. F. Elsasser foi register of decda and is mixed for sheriff. Theie were two tickets In the Third ward and tbo contest was an Interesting one. The members of the old guard , Pat Ford. Kd nothpiy , Billy Norton and others' , -worked side by lle for the Miller ticket aiid were winners by a big majority. There * was a huge > ote cast and It was the last ward to complete the count. There were areo two tickets ln > the Fourth \\aul , one for Miller and the other said to be for Todliunter. The contest really was between the Honln and Shoemaker factions of the democracy , and the Honln crowd was snowed under by an overwhelming . Whllo the winning delegation Is said to be for Todliunter , there are some members of 1 who will ULdoubtedly vote for Englomann after tbo first ballot. If not from the start. In the Fifth ward there Is likely to be a contest In the convention , as the Ted liunter and Englemann supporters claim fraud. Thev say that they cast iCOotcs , whllo the .Miller men cast but 175 In ad dition to this they charge that us boon as the polls closed the Miller men cleared the ball , driving out all of the voters who were op posed to his candldacj , after which they pre ceded with the count They albo Insist that all of the judges and clerks were Millet men and that the \otes were manipulated in his Interests. The Miller men den > tbo charge and state that they whipped the combined forces of Todhunter in a fair fight at the polls Out In the Sixth waid fourteen delegates were elected , of which number Todhunter has ten and Miller foiu. The reason of the extia delegates being elected was duo to the fact that theie were a number of ties and tbo judges felt that the question or disposing of these tics was something that should be left to the convention , consequently they cer tified up fourteen instead of cloven names. The contest was largely one-Bided In the Seventh , and hero was practically tbo only michlno triumph In the city. The delegation Is Eald to be for Millet and contains a num ber of names prominently identified with the gang. There were three tickets In tbo Eighth ward , ono for each of the three candidates for sheriff , and the contest was a warm one. The primaries were disorderly and nnny re spectable democrats remained away. Tbo Engelmann delegation was victorious. There was no tight of any kind In the Ninth ward and but almit thlity votes were cast , The delegation Is for Enge'lmaun on tbo first ballot and Is said to bo favorable to him aftei that although several of the votes are counted for Miller on the second ballot.
