THE POLITICAL STRUGGLE , Result of the Selection of Delegatoa to the Republican County Convention , WHERETHE FIGHT WAS HOTTEST. None oT tlio Three Candidates For Clerk of the District Court Secure \Vnlk-Awny For tlio Nomination , Rcftiilt of the Primaries. The republican primaries are over and a tired lot of politicians went to bed early last night for tlio llr.st time in many days. To say that the struggle for supremacy wns not a warm one would hardly ex press the situation , although In most of the wards no undue excitement attended the voting. The chief interest centered in the light for the fattest ofiice the clerkship of the district court and all other Issues wore for the most part lost sight of. The thrco candidates for the nomination were , of course , in the thickest of the fray in their respective wards , and that they all were more or less successful is shown by the number of supporters which each secured to represent them in the county convention to-day. Although the result is somewhat mixed , the prob able strength of the candidates in to day's conuuntiou , as far as the city is concerned , will bo as follows : Frank Moorcs , 27 ; Albyn L. Frank , 20j Colonel Alkcu , 19. The delegates from the coun try will probably bo greatly divided , and thus the final outcome of the struggle is uncertain , but that no ono will have n walk-away is sure. The greatest struggle at the polls was in tip Fourth ward over the placing on the ticket of William F. Beohol. This caused a bitter feeling on thn part of the bettor element and an effort was ruado to shelve the obnoxious candidate. That this movement was not successful can bo attributed to gallant aid furnished the president of the council by democrats and outsiders. These latter made their headquarters in O'Malloy's saloon , ncros stho street from the place of hold ing the primary , and enough "mlloo- once" was dispensed and Third ward re cruits secured to carry the contest in favor of Bcchol. Pat Ford. Phil Mo- Shane , Can O'Malloy , Ilothaoker , Minor and others were on hand to cheer on their champion to success. As the result of Iho poll shows , however , Bochol needed all the outside support ho re ceived , for the residents of the ward scratched him so liberally that ho only pulled through by a few votes. In the Seventh ward Mike Leo proved too big a load for the ticket which Col onel Aikou put in the field , and in consequence quence it went down. Had it not been for the Leo incubus there is no doubt but that the colonel would have come out with flying colors in his own wnrd. As usual the rough and rowdy element predominated in the Bloody Third , but there was no opposition to speak of and everything was harmonious. Below is given the result in all tlio wards in the city and the country pre cincts so far ns obtainable : FIlihT WAUD.

" The attempt at reform in Brooklyn and Now York , nnd in other cities , and the direction of giving creator authority to the chief executives are mild experiments compared to the meth ods ut Washington. The city has passed through seven dis tinct phases of municipal evolution. The District of Columbia at tlrst included thrco natural municipal divisions , viz. , the city of Georgetown , laid out in 1751 , tlio newly planned city of Washington , and the county of the same namn. Con gress retained both sovereign and local authority over thoni until 1802 , when the city nnd corporation of Wash ington were established consisting of a maycr appointed by the president with the rigjit to name his subordinates nnd a council composed of two branches , elected annually by the people. In 1813 the duty of selecting the mayor was ? ivcn to the city council. In 18'JO an ex- Lcnsion of corporation jurisdiction was made to include important functions of local government , and the grant to the citizens of the ritrlit to elect their mayor , who was to hold ollico for a term of two years. The war hud AN IMI'OltTANT INFM'KNTK upon Washington. It became an object of national attraction and was aroused into a new life. But this revival was only temporary , for after the war was over it bade fair to settle down into tlio old rut again. A few public wpiriteil citl- 7.enshowevjr , ( , were determined to prevent this if possible , and , getting control of a flairs they inaugurated a now era of im provements , costly , extravagant and in inaoy respects ill-advised , which , during the live years from 1800 to 1871 involved the corporation in a debtof $3,000,000 , nnd drew | 5,030,000 of extra taxes from the people. This was too much. Congress - gross was implored to do away with the existing , nnd provide with a now form of government , and the act of 1871 was the result. By this the city corporations of Washington and Georgolown nnd the levy court of the county were nil abolished and a uniform system of ad ministration given to the whole district. The now form comprised a governor , a board of health , and a board of public works , appointed by the president with the consent of the sciiuie , a council of eleven members chosen by Iho president , a house of delegates , numbering twenty- two and a territorial delegate to congress elected by the people. This regime lasted for three years and is known as thn reiirn of the board of public works. It was during this period that the transforma tion of Washington into Tim IlIIAl'lII'l'I. CITY wo now see was begun m earnest. Discontent again widely prevailed and congress took action , in 1871 a temporary ary form of government , in which ex ecutive power was invested in thrco com missioners appointed by the president , was incorporated. It lasted till July 1 , 187Svlien the municipal regulation of the district wa permanently provided for on its present luisis. It thus appears that W ashington has tried almost every form of government which the fertile brain of congress could originate. From being controlled on- liroly by the national legislature it passed by dill'erent stages into a full-Hedged municipal democracy. Then it became an aristocratic commonwealth and to-day if wo accept the views of some of the chronic grumblers wo would liken its ad ministration to the ancient Grecian tyr anny. In the capital of thu ereat Ameri can republic the franchise has been taken away and no citi/.en can vote for oven a school trustee. Is the present form of government adequate to the multiplied needs of modern civic life ? Does it rep resent a step backwards or forwards in tlio solution of vexed municipal prob lems ? The local affairs of the district are ad ministered by three commissioners' , two of whom are residents of the district , ap pointed by the preMilmit and confirmed by the senate , for a term of three years each , the third an olllcor of the engineer corps of the army above the rank of cap tain , designated by the president with out any special limit of time. The com missioners appoint all district officials except the judiciary and ollieor.s of record. They rocoivu each sfii.OOO a year. All legislative authority is vested in congress , in which the citi/.ons of tlio district urn unrepresented. Their inter ests are looked after by a special com mittee in the house and in the senate , nnd ono day in each month is regularly not apart by both branches to consider matters of district legislation. TIII : roMMifioKKit.s have no discretion in the expenditure of money , as they are compelled to conform to the specific items of the appropriation. They draw funds from the United Status treasury upon itemi/.od vouchers , certi. lied by n majority of their number , and their accounts are nuditod by the lirst comptroller. Thus there is every safe guard against unwise , extravagant or illegal expenditure. Chiefs of police , market and lire ser vice , health ollicer , superintendents of schools and telegraph and telephone ser vice , school trustees , building inspector coroner , police-court judge , attorney , assessor , collector nnd auditor with the personnel of their various departments are appointed by the commissioners and administer the details of local govern ment under their direction. Such is the municipal system of the District of Columbia. How does it work ? On this subject there is an edifying vari ety of opinion. Some features commend themselves to all , while others are the cause of bitter complaint. The district government is by no mouiiB perfect either in theory or prac tice , but in most respects it is far supe rior practically to the municipal rule of the majority of American citiea. Con gress is uniformly apathetic , often nig gardly in dealing with important local interests. But every dollar which comes from the pocket of the taxpayer or from the legislative appropriation is spent for legitimate purposes and strictly ac counted for. The law governing the commissioners in making and awarding contracts is especially exacting. Collu sion with Interested parties in the execu tion of important public works , the bane of our largo cities , could not bo practiced without immediate discovery. Still the people have AII&OI.UTKI.V NO VOICE in the government of the city or the na tion. They are disfranchised. The government is not conducted without sonic friction. The executive authorities shorn of legislative powers , nnd the citizens withheld from the right of stifl'rago , cannot remedy real grlor * ances when they exist. Congress alone can deal with them. The present laws of the district nro fragmentary , defec tive and sometimes contradictory. They have never been codlltcd. They are drawn from a great variety of source * , the common law of Kngland in force in Maryland in 17HO , the statutes of Mary land abe to that date , ordinances of the corporation ut Washington , Georgetown nnd the levy court , resolves of thii legis lative assembly of the district , orders of the commissioners and nets of congress According to district law a corporation bull should bo kept in each of the wards of \ \ ashington and geese running at largo upon Pennsylvania avenue must bo apprehended by the town constable. Until the last session of congress the commissioners had no authority to make police regulations or to make "rules for steam engineering , while there was no legislation satisfactorily dealing with arrears of taxes , compelling the erection of fire escapes' nnd enabling foreign exe cutors and administrators to sue in the district. The energy of the present au thorities hns secured something but much remains to bo accomplished. The record of the past shows only too plainly TUB NKtlUUKNCB OV CONUUKSS. The federal government owns about half the real estate in Washington , yet from 1790 to 1870 it appropriated but live million dollars for Improvements , while the district during the same period spent twenty millions. Since 1878 the burdens have been cmially adjusted , but if con gress should assume the whole of the present debt , some 120,881,050 , its obliga tions to the District would merely be dis charged. Hero is ono method , it is sometimes argued , for getting rid of a part of the surplus. The enhanced value of its real estate would be a partial com pensation nml the remnindor could bo derived from the added prestige of the nation's capital. It is undoubtedly an anomaly that citi zens of the federal capital of the world's greatest democracy are deprived of all voting tmyllogos. The faults of the pres ent municipal system are to bo found on its legislative , rather than its executive side. But committees composed of out siders cannot always have the keenest interest in local matters , nnd factions statesmen will sometimes waste days in lillbtirsteing , that should have been de voted in passing useful measures. How can the legislative side of the local gov ernment bo made more efficient ? This is the question that needs answering now. Nobody can tell what congress may do , ind it is not.entirely impossible that the subject may take such a turn as to be come in some way a political issue. F. S. N.
