The soono nt the various polling places at the republican primaries to-day , to cheese delegates to the four congressional district conven tions embraced in Chicago and Oook county , were of A MOST DISGRACEFUL C1IAIIAOTEH. Aa itras merely n primary election , which was not govcrod by legal enact ment , and repeating not punishable , largo gangs of democratic thugs and ward atrickers , marshalled under Logan's ban ner , went from poll to poll , voting every where they wont. Whenever they reached a voting place they simply took possession of it , AWAY 11 respectable citizens who would not vote the Logan ticket. Many were thus hustled out and literally lifted up ami handed back over thu heads of the mob and sot down on thn outtido. In some cases this pruccoduro met with organized opposition and FUEE FIGHTS ENSUED. The trouble was particularly hot in the Eleventh , Twelfth and Thirteenth wards whpro Colonel Davis had the opposition organized , and with the help of the cus tom house managed to defeat Logan and the post jfQso. "Long" John. Wentworth was a prominent worker in the First ward and talked with considerable free dom. Along toward evening somebody on the other side took offense and climb ing up on a step-ladder PUNCHED "LONG" JOHN'S NOSE. The democrats were interested in embittering the Davis and Logan fac tions in the hope to make a broach so wide that they will be able to run in a democratic congressman at the end of Davis' term. General Press Dispatches. CHICAGO , April 11. Republican pri maries were held in this city 'from 4 to T this afternoon to elect delegates to nominate congressmen in the First , Second end and Fourth districts , and to elect delegates in all four districts to the dis trict conventions to elect delegates to the national convention. The issue in all four of the districts is clearly defined as between the adherents and opposera of Senator Logan for the presidential nomination , and the choice of delegates to the district conventions simply fore shadows the result of the work of the conventions to-morrow. The balloting waa characterized by an UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF TURBULENCE. The struggle in the Third ( Congress man Davis' ) district was particularly excited - cited , and many personal encounters and several free fights resulted , but as the only weapons used were fists , no aerlous consequences resulted. The result of it nil was A DIVIDED VICTORY. The First district choao eighty dele gates to the congressional convention , forty of whom are for Logan and forty against. An exciting time is anticipated wbeu the convention meets to-morrow to choose delegates to the national conven tion. 'in ' the Second district , the Logan and anti-Logan managers agreed to disagree , and held TWO BBTS OF PU1HAHIK8 , and will send two sots of delegates to the 'national ' convention. In the Third dis trict anti-Logan delegates were chosen , and in the Fourth those in favor of Logan. VANDEHBlIjT'S VAGAJIY. I'ortor SnysHu Cannot Account lor lllH Own Uiiworlhltiess.

The World of Saturday will publish replies from Gov. Hoadloy ( Ohio ) and Gov. Jackson ( W. Va. , ) to inquiries concerning the issues of the next presidential campaign. Hoadloy says : "Tho issues upon which this campaign ought to bo contested are the necessity for a reform of the abuses engendered by long continued republican misgovernment , for economy in the pub lic expenditure nnd for the restoration of the constitution of the United States to its rightful supremacy. Absolute free trade is at present an impossibility , any tar ill necessarily affords incidental protection to domestic manufacturers of the articles it embraces , but protection should bo an incident rather than an ob ject. Tariff levied only for public uses cans n tariff exclusively on articles hicharo not produced in the United tales , such as tea and coffee. I aver a tariff for revenue , avoiding nonopolies , but carefully discriminating o as to encourage labor , and aa far as ossiblo so constructed in intelligent do- ails as to give relief to oppressed com- norco , and restore American ships to the ea , but not to shock or rudely disturb ivoatod capital. This is the Ohio plat- Tin , on which we carried Ohio last fall , id \ \ 1th Tildon or Payne ns candidate 0 can carry it again this fall. " Governor Jnokson's viowa ore : "I am ot in favor of making the tariff an issue 1 the presidential campaign. I believe 10 issue should bo reform in the ovornmont , and a restoration of pub- c confidence to bo brought about f an absolute change at Washington , believe there should bo a modification : the existing tariff , but am opposed to 10 passage of the Morrison bill by the ouao. 1 am in favor of the Ohio plat- ) rm a tariff for revenue with incidental roteclion as the wisent policy to unite 10 democracy for national victory. I eliovo that n largo majority of the omocrnts of this state are in accord with 10 above views. " HublmrU'H Uiuil , $1U,7OU 11 . MONMOUTU , 111. , April 11.

HAWI.EY , who was greeted with applause , and who spoke briefly. Ho said that ouch meet ings as this were producing good. They were good fortho Grand Army , and the perpetuation of the memories that they commemorated was a good thing for the country. It was twenty-throe years ago to-day that word was sent to fire upon Fort Sumpter , and that it must surren der. Twenty-throe years since the rebels fired on it. Ho referred to the fooling at the north. Atthat ttmo a fooling that there was a great struggle before the countryand that God only know whether it waa tc bo boA A DIVIDED COUNTllY , and asked , could any one then have fore- Been what the character of that struggle would bo , what sacrifices iho country would bo called upon to make , and what the result would bo. Ho thought that after five years of desperate struggle be tween the bravest soldiers on both sides that over drew breath , the men who com posed this assemblage and similar ones had a right to come together sometimes and look back at those things without being accused of boasting ; to congratu late themselves ; to shako hands and thank God that great and small alike each counted ono in the greatest struggle on record. Hawley then introduced. ( IEN. LOOAN , and saying ho felt sure , no matter what the newspapers said about that gentle man , they were about to hour from a brave comrade and honest man. The statement was received with applauso. Gen. Logan on coming forward was greeted vrithwarmth , and his speech was many times interrupted with ap plause by the audience.
