THE CITIZENS PRIMARIES. Some of the Wards Furnished Surprises. A. B. LAfllB WAS DEFEATED Candidate James Pulled Through by a Narrow Margin in a Stubborn Three-Cornercd Fight. The primaries of the Citizens party in town yeenlay were the most Interesting held for several years on ward contests, and the vote drawn out was exceedingly large. In the second and Third wards the vote was thti largest ever polled at a primary and T., It. Edwards, the nominee n the Third ward, hus the honor of having received the largest majority ever given candidate In that ward at either a primary or election. It was after mid night before the vote was counted. Councilman A. 13. Lamb is defeated for re nomination after a most vigorous three cornered fight in which he was tied by William Neiswenter, each having received 120 votes, and both were beaten by David R. James, who received 133 votes. The Third ward gave a big majority against the proposition to have the prim aries hereafter held under the banner of the Republican party, but on the whole borough vote the proposition was defeated by but ten votes. The First and Third wards were against the change, and the Second gave only a majority of four in favor of it. The contests for the Councllmanlo nomination In the Second ward was very spirited. Th6re were four strong candl dates for the two vacancies and they succeeded in bringing out the largest vote ever polled in the ward at a primary. The contest for the School Directorship was also very interesting and the vote given Price was quite surprising, as it was supposed that his opponent's strength was much greater than the returns showed. Although the contest for the High Constableship was a spirited one, on ac count of five candidates being in the llold.lt was subservient in point of interest to the contests for Council and School Board. James Emanuel, the present High Constable, is the nominee. Edward Mason was the second choice. The contests for Council and School Board in the Fourth ward was very lively, and Daniel Reigel came within seventeen votes of defeating Councilman A. D. Gable for re-nomination. There were three candidates for the School Directorship and Henry L. Jones got it, defeating John A. Grant and Edward D. Beddall. The vote polled In the First ward was a large one, considering that there seemed to be little interest in the ward ticket, and there were no contests on the ward ticket. The vote cast in this ward was as follows : High Constable George Knott, 81; James Emanuel, 17; Jabez Powell, 46; Edward Mason, 4; Benjamin F. Woomer, 1.

It worked like a charm. The supposition that the system entailed too much red tape, and In wards where the vote Is large all the ballots could not be polled within n limited time, was dispelled by the show ing in the Third ward, when the polls We're opened, 'the offi cers sworn and 2!0 ballots wefe 'polled in an hour attd nine minutes. During the progress of the primaries voters were con sulted as to their opinion of the system und it wa generally commended as simple and fair. Shenandoah is the banner town for its introduction in Schuylkill and it is believed the system will soon spread throughout the county. You will never find Br'ennan's cigars In diye saloons.
