bow the thing was done.
Headquarters wero extabllhhed at Hart
man's, the Castle in the Alley, the County
house and Exchange hotel and te these
places the returns wero carried. The early
returns received indicated the success of
the Ilartman ticket with the oxceptlen of
sheriff and there was great rejoicing at the
Yellow Frent.
Iu Columbia Ilartman and Sides carried
the day and at the tame time the voters
were loyal te Christ Kaulfman, herfavored

shows that he Is a
AX EXCITING ELECTION.
Tbe Martin Delegates Cheaen-JYliy they
Were Favored.
The Republican primary election of May
3d, 1890, will pass Inte history as the most
exciting up te that time In tbe history of the
Republican party In Lancaster county.
There were several features calculated te
add interest te the contest. Amongst them
may be noted the fight for delegates. It
was the first time that the voters had an
opportunity te say te the Republicans of
the commonwealth that they had a candi
date for a state ofllce. Theso In the city by
their votes declared that they wanted E. K.
Martin put en the state ticket for lieuten
ant govorner. Returns from the country
districts show that all the Martin delegatcs
were elected.
The defeat of Dr. Muhlenberg Is a gentle
hint te Ocn. Hastings that Quay has his
held en the Lancaster delegates and that
Dolamater will gel theni If he needs them.
Never before were combinations se badly
mixed as en Saturday. Deals were made
by which individual candidates were bene
fitted In some swtlens and hurt In ethers.
An analysis of tbe vete will show that
bargains made were gene back oil by the
bosses, and te-day the curses are loud and
deep en all sides.
The amount of money spent was enor
mous. Therowaanet less than $40,000 In
the several peels, in addition te the mouey
spent by the Individual candidates In their
canvass. Nothing like the expenditure of
money has ever been seen in this rlty,
and the county fellows are said te have had
a big share of the boodle.
The total vote polled In the city was
3,750, and with the vete In the county the
aggrcgate will be fully 17,009. Tills Is
largely In excess of that oxpected by the
politicians. Tbe dolegote, congressional
and senatorial fight in the North bad much
te de with the very Urge vete.
The surprises In the city were numerous.
Myers, for Congress, was disappointed at
the vete he received and Breslus' friends
agreeably disappointed at his large majority
In the city. His majority In the county
may exoeed 0,000.
McMellen expected a much iarger vete
in the city than he received. Jehn Reland
was badly left and his supporters all 'told
wero just a quarter of a hundred. Neil,
who lielloved that the quiet vest pecket vote
was for him, has changed bis mind. Jehn
Blnkley and Joel L. Eaby will conslder the
advisability of running three years bence
bofero they put any meney iu a hopeloss
fight. ,
Sldeswas known te be popular In the
city, but his vote was higlier than his most
sanguine friends looked for. Shirk and
Keller are very sere ever the vete they re
ceived. It is a wender tbey fared as well,
considering Sides' popularity.
The votes rocelvod by floyer, Fry and
Urban wero very satisfactory te their
friends.
The most disappointed man In town, Is
Tem Cochran. He had only ene porseu
that he cared for in this great fight, and
that was Dr. Muhlenberg. Fer days,
wecksand months he labored te defeat
Martin's caudldate for delegate, and with
the prostlge of his faction's majority he
thought he had a sure thing, but the poo peo poe
plo of Lancaster city looked at it In a differ
ent light. Many who were personal frlends
of Dr. Muhlenberg did net cast their bal bal
eots for him, because tbey believed that
tbore was a fair chance of getting Martin
en the state tlcket, and the wuy te de it was
te give Martin his cholce of a dolcgate.
Ben Horshey was the great iiinnerin
Saturday's ruce. He was strong overywboro,
and his vete will be very large. Al.
Werth also fared well in town and was
popular because he has been an efilclcut,
faithful commissioner.
Frank McClaiu knows mero al.mt poli
tics new than he did, but he bad te pay in
solid cash for his oxperiunco.t He thought
be was a winner and hed the best of It until
Ilartman was informed that Met 'lain was
making votes against him. Ilartman then
turned against him for all be was worth
and succoedod in knocking him out.
The usual cry of fraud is tslked about in
a quiet way by tbe disappointed candidates.
In every district of tbe county.se far as can
be loarned, leading candidates had repre
sentatives en the beard of olection olllcers
and tbe count is presumably honest. The
defeat of seme was brought about by deals
made even as late as election day, when it
was tee late for theso affected te make
counter deals.
A glance at the winuers as noted abeve
shows that the Tntkm.iui:nl'kii'h forecasts
of the situation were truthfully given.
TANGLED TH HEADS.
Hew the Old Factional LoudersWoro Di
vided and tbe Disappoint incuts or
tbe Cuuvuss.
As the Hinoke of tbe conflict litis from
the field of battie, the politicians generally
begin te moo mere clearly what the longer
headed of their fellows have been saying
for the past week, viz. : that rings divided
against themselves are apt te go te smash.
Wlille Breblusand Martin pull themselves
through, a great many of their former ad
herents are cursing roundly that these, two
gentlemen did net go te the front and hitch
tot hoi r niodecs a geed string of Heg Ring
cars and carry the train along. It Is all tee
plain new that a bold combination, headed
by Breslus and Martin, alded by Meutrer
and Sam Martin, Postmaster Uriest and
the ofUcchelders, with C. C. ICauffiuau or
Steber en for state senator could have
swept the beard. On the ether hand, If the
Bull Ringers had dumped Keller, and
Hartman and Sensenig bad peeled their
issues, with Sides for sheriff, a combina
tion could have been formed that might
have gene far eneagh te beat some of the
Martin delegates.
As It was, thcre was hardly any portion
of the ticket or any section of the county
that did net show old friends divided and
old enemies In combination. Nearly everv
clement In local politics and almost every
man of prominence had his own peculiar
ends te serve, his pet candidate te promote
and te this end be waj ready te sacrifice
and even cheat friend and, fee alike. Edi
tor Geist's first aim was te secure the
Martin delegates, and te keep the Brown
Hartman forces off, he was w tiling te spare
every one of their friends, even te inter
mit his tireless denunciation of the " Sixth
ward frauds." The AVw Km winked at the
eloctienof Hartman and Hlestand, while
Brown, Sklles, Hartman and ethers
winked at the wnlk-over of
Breslus and E. K. Martin. Editor
Cochrun, en the ether hand, wanted,
first of all and most of all, te hit Breslus
and Martin, and is naturally indignant that
these who ought te have been his frlends
did net sympathize very dceply with his
schemes nor aid very far in putting them
through. I.evi Scnseulg had his meney en
Sidea and, te elect him, was ready te stab
Hartman and Brown and te lie under the
same blanket with his dearest feo Montzer.
Roebuck and Montzer were bound together
in support of Al Stebor for the Senate, and
yet Mentzer had te see his candidate for
county treasurer sold out by his own
friends in the northeast. Htrlneand Hlppey,
for prudential reasons, stuck te Sides for
sheriff and Kauffinan for senator while
they dealt deadly blows te tbe candidates
of Scnseulg'u combination for ether places
en bis ticket. Senater Cameren wanted,
most of all things, te be let alone.
Never were the threads of a political
MAY 5, 1890.
contest se hopelessly tangled, and there
are few who cannot get mme' consolation,
tempored with a geed deal of bitterness of
disappointment, out of the result. Meney
was "put In" In solid chunks, lean enor
mous and nnprocedentcd amount, and
generally In the Intorest of slngle candi
dates Instead or, as heretofore, for a peel or
short ticket- The ruwilt Is that while theso
who wen paid dearly for It; they who lest
bewail their expenses and roundly de
nounce theso whom they trunled for hav
ing cheated and botreyed them. Breslus
and his ofllce-holdors nre tuitlsued with his

Is embittered by Hartman's success i and
Hartman's exultation at his own triumph
can hardly but be saddened by the reflec

en Saturday aftornoen.
The First Ward.
The First ward was the quietest ene in
town, and about the usual party vete was
poiled. Thore was no quarrel of any kind
evor the organization which was agroed
upon, giving the Judge te the anil.
Hartman poeplo. Although thore was
llttle nolse a great deal of hard work was
dene during the entlrn ftftoriieou and
everybody was kept very busy. Thore
was utmost u straight light between
Keller and Hartman en ene ticket
and Sides and Stauffer mi tlie
ethor. The meu who loekod after the
former pair weroex-Olllcor Wcaver, W. K.
Beard, Register Myers, Assessor A.C. Wol Wel
chans, J. Hay Brown and Henry Martin. P.
D, Baker, who was ene of Hartman's bit
terest onemles thrce years age, was with
him In this light and also aided his cause.
Fer Sldes and Stauffer the principal
werkers wero Harry Slienck, Samuel
Swenk, William Nauiuan, Jacob Grooua Greoua Groeua
wait, the Doctors Davis, Lewls Derwart
and otherw. This is Mr. Sides' own ward
and be romalned at the polls the greater
part of the aftornoen, doing geed work for
himself, as the figures will show, Candl Candl
daeo for Roglster Geyor also lives In this
ward and be made a splendid run, whlle
Hartman carried the ward evor Stauffer by
a small majority.
Tlie Nocend Wurd.
The Second ward had seveu candidates
en the ticket, and by mutual agroemeut an
organization was agroed Ukii. It was a
quiet, orderly olection until towards eve
ning when JlinMcAloergol Inte an alterca
tion with Censtable Prlce and wasarrestcd,
but afterwards balled out.
One of the most Interesting fights was for
member or the county committee. A. F,
Shenck has held.the position for yours and
In all previous coutests he had a walk evor.
This year bis oppenout was Jehn C Dlnan
aud he made it se warm for Shenck that
the latter's friends paid as high as $5 for a
vete for him. The result was the election
of Shenck by a small majority.
Sensenig, und the friends of Montzer,
were togethor In this ward for nearly all
the olllces, and carriinl It by u handsome
majority. The host workers wero with
Sensenig aud Montzer, and among the
active enes were Ilter-Cnrrlcr TomlliiHen,
Al Slienck, Jehn Marshall, G. C. Kennedy,
Censtable Price, A. B. Hassler and Frank
B. McClaiu.
Hartman's Interests were loekod after
by Jehn C. Dlnau, Eliner E. Bewman and
Thes. Merrlck, Slander's activity and
buttonholing made him many vetes and
he led In this, his home ward, by a hand hand hand
seme majority. Considering the great op.
osltieii te Hartman and the dead-set
made by Levi Senseuig against him, for
he was determined te injure him all In his
power, Hartman's vete in Levi's home
was quite complimentary.
Tboclectlon ofllcerd did net finlidi the
count until 10 o'clock this morning. It was
the last ward te le heard from aud en It
hinged the contest for delegate. The ma
jority was against Muhleuburg and that
defeated him.
Tlie Third Ward.
In the Third ward there was an Interest
ing triangular contest between Meutzer,
McMellen and Hartman's friends. Mc
Mellcn was looking out for himself, and
thou lit he had a deal wlt'i Monter
Irlends by which he was te have a large
vote, but It fell through. Menter was for
Ilyus, Stauffer get a quiet vote, and Hart
man had warm frleuds.
Menoy was no object In this ward. An
Interesting Incident occurred shortly after
the polls epened. A voter of the purchas
able kind was approached by ene of the
workers. He asked what was In It and
wan told u few dollars. Whlle he was
dickering, one of the opposition btepM lu
aud advanced the prlce 25 cents. This
riled the party who had first cellared hlin
and be went a quarter better. The bidding
was kept up until $-5.75 was reached when
the Mentzer man dropped out, and he voted
the full antl-Sensenlg ticket.
Hartman's lieutenant In this district was
IX M. Gilbert. He Is only a nowceiner in
the ward, but the way he hustled aud cap
tured votes right under the noses of Mc
Mellen, Mentser and Buck Lelbley, par.

r
alyzed Ihein. Befere the election it was
net thought that Hartman would have i
vetes. He ended with a round hundred.
Gilbert's assistants horn wero Frank Barr,
Jehn Crawford, Jehn Ursprung, "Stenoy "
Hoever and Win. Speng.
A war of words occurred during the
afternoon botweon McMollen and Gilbert,
tu which Gilbert was charged with buying
Vele, and for doing se he was threatened
with arrest. It seen blew ever and all
hands went te work vigorously te buy all
the voters who wero en the fence.
Buck Lelbley was with Mentxer for part
of Iho ticket. McMellen had a few helpers
but did most of the work,
The Fourth Ward.
The Slauffer men in the Fourth ward
had ene or the best organizations In the
city and a dozen of werkers at the polls.
Breslus was the first consideration
In this ward with these werkers;
Ren Urban the soceud, Jehn Sides
the third, and Commissioners Werth
and Horshey the fourth. The details prier
te the election wero loekod after by Majer
Grlest, The workers al the polls of this
faction were Henry Stiaub, Dr. Urban,
Andy Elchellr, Luttor-Carrier Erlsmau,
Assessor Dlllerund J. W. Jehnsen.
Wash Polls, Adam Smith, Pote Fordney,
Fred Engle and James Donbler woreactlvo
for Hartman and get In some geed work
considering the great odds they had te con
tend with.
Everything run smoothly In this ward.
Boedlo was abundant and the prlce of votes
was net questioned. Somethlng new In
the way of purchasing votes was noticed
at these polls. A wan! bummer gathered
together 10 ethers and tills squad of 20 ap
proaches the kUs in a liedy. As they
walked down the street they wero chris
tened the "Sheep Gang" by one or the
ward politicians. The leader at ence began
negotiations for the sate of his Heck. Beth
factious were anxious te get this block and
Indications pointed te spirited bidding for
them. The rival factions saw that It
would cost a llttle mint te buy the gang
and a consultation was held. A conclu
sion 'was reached as te candidates te be
voted for, each faction getting a share.
The prlce agreed ujeii was 80 for the
crowd, each faction contributed f40,'and
the tickets were marked te suit and voted.
The Firth Ward.
The Fifth ward Is th e home of Concress-
I mR" ureUn and Candidate for nentenant
"oveiiier K K, Martin. Although a fight
" wuuu uiiuibi, uuui, iuu congressman
had a large majority and Martin delegates
had much the better or tbe fight In this
ward the Hartman-Koller men wero
"Weedy" Jeffries, Levlus Helss, Con Cen
stablo Yelslt,y, Geergo Wlnower, Council
men Erlsinan, Cuiumings and Trout.
Abieng the men who wero at work for
Breslus and Martin wero Lotter-Uarrler

Treyer and ethors. II. Hartley and Trey or
wero for Sides and Johnny Urau was for
Hartman aud Sldes. A. J. Eberiy was
Intorestod In Hnrtmati, Mart Fry and
soverat ethors. Mr. Martin kept In the
neighborhood or the window most or the
time and his race bore a worried leek.
Thcre was plenty or meney In this ward as
thore was every place else. Benny Her
shey get a great vote here.
The Sixth Ward.
The Sixth ward Is usually very lively
during the hours for the primary, but en
Saturday It was unusually quiet, and
thore was the best of order from the time
Iho polls epened until they wero closed at
soven o'clock. This Is the home of Kelle
and Hartman and the latter usually inukes
himself felt. He was en hand In soveral
soclleim en Saturday uflorneon, and he had
a number of his old nentenants, Including
Alderman Deen, ex-Police Officer Daulel
Glass, Harry Hwartzwelder, Daniel Me Me
Kvey, Candldate for Assembly Franklin,
who also lives Iu the ward, Abuer Hart
man aud ethers. All of these worked hard
tinder the direction of Hurttnan, during
the afternoon. Keller was en hand all day.
As hn is net worth much at the polls his
servlccs could easily have been dispoused
with. On the antl-lfartiiiaii slde of the
window the following men wero found :
Jehn McLaughlin, Nowteu Stattffer, Jehn
II. High, Geergo Brennor, Geerge Shay,
Detective Edward Barnheld, Clerk of Quar
ter Sosslens M. L. Klllian, James Ehr
man, ox-ceustablo of the ward, and ethors,
Hartman and hit. friends get their work
in In great shape, and of 670 votes poiled
Hartman himself get 418 or them. Keller
and Franklin also ran well. Thore was a
great deal ofdlsapnelutmcnt ever tbe voteef
Muhlenberg In this ward for state conven
tion delegate. Ills frlends thought that
he would run away up with the principal
meu en the KoUer-Hartman slate, but he
fell far behind. It Is cbarged that the
workers here did net leek after tbe Interests
of the doctor, as they should have. He had
but ene majority and thore is seme sero
feeling in censequence. It Is believed
that a deal was made that Injured Muh
eonberg. In this ward the Haitman poeplo had
control of the election beard, which did net
finish Its work until almost neon te-day.
Whlle the polls were open there was a
deal of meney floating about, and seme of
the neighboring offices, stores aud ether
places rovemblod banks. Men were bought
at almost any flgure they asked, and at
times tlie prices rati away up. The num
ber el short tickets cast In this wurd was
very large. The Hartman faction had several
different kinds of bob tails, nud they wero
greatly lionetlted by it.
Tlie Seventh Wnrd,
The Soventh ward, for soveral years a
stronghold of Hartmau's, sustained Its
reputation en Saturday. The fight for the
organization was a tame affair and Indicated
that Butch Mlller, Bill Deen and Jake
Prlce would glve a big majority for the
antl-Sensenlg-Mentzer combination. Jehn
Delsley led the tatter's forces, but be had
no show. Theso of the coons who veted
wero captured by Miller, Deen and Price.
The election In this district was a quiet
one, the vete polled was a geed ene and the
returns satisfied the frieuds of Ilartman.
The Eluhtli Ward.
Among the Republicans who llve in the
Eighth ward there are mere roosters than
lu any ether district In the county. Tbe
leaders say that they are a let of robbers,
aud whether It be at a primary or a general
olection they always want mere meney
than any ether poeplo aud they then have
a tight te see who can steal the most of IL
On Saturday there was a great mixture
of men aud tickets at Jehn Suyder's hotel,
wheru the primary elections are held.
Wheii the polls weie opened County
Committeeman Klrchner, who is a letter
carrier, between Ills political lights, called
the meeting te order. The men, w he ere
for Hartman, put up a candldate for judge
and he was at once opesod by the friends
of all ether candidates Hartman, how hew how
ever, had the most men en his side, but
Klrchner, who was "agin" him, counted
tlie ethor man lu.
It will lehard for any ene te tell hew the
combinations were working lu this ward.
There were quite a number of short tickets,
several of which bore the name of Frank
McClatu for assembly. The frleuds of
Hartman here were led by David Jeffries,
Christ Quade, William Waltz, Harry
Nlchel, Harry Gardner, "Fatty" GUI, Oeo.
Gesoll, Fetor Ritchie and ethers. Ofthee
