Nominations at the Primaries Yesterday for County and Legislative Tickets. F. H. STEDMAN FOR SHERIFF. Morton for Seaite; Empie snd Roootree Leilslstnre; Biddle, Register; Green, . Treasurer; McRee, Sarvevor; Skeeksv, Ceistsble. Never before since the war, perhaps, hare the Democrats of New Hanover placed in the field a county and legis lative ticket so certain of success at the polls in the general election on the first Thursday in August as that nominated at the primaries held in the various wards and, townships in the county yesterday. Hitherto and before the overthrow of : negro domination in the State and county during the memorable campaign of 1893, hopes of Democratic victory at the polls in the election of county and legislative tickets were distant and indefinite and it was only with difficulty that men were induced to sacrifice their time and personal inolinationa to become candidates on a ticket with slim chances of election. Yesterday found a decided reverse of these conditions and the contest was marked by large number of candidates of influence , and character who sought the suffrages of their fellow citizens in the first cam paign under white government since November one j ear ago. The canvass before the primaries yesterday was active, vigorous and the contest was' warmly waged. The day was devoid of untoward in cidents of consequence and the elec tion passed off quietly. The candi dates and their friends were very active and a fairly large vote was polled. The contest that excited most interest was that between candidates for Sheriff and State Senator and many feared that a second primary would be necessary to a choice. From official and the most accurate information obtainable last night from the several precincts it appears that the result of the primary may be summed up as follows : For Senate Geo. L. Morton. For Representatives George Roun- ree and Brooke G. Empie. For Sheriff Frank H. 8 ted man. For Register of Deeds William H. Biddle. For Treasurer H. MaL. Green. For Coroner No choice, and second primary necessary between Dr. W. F. Stokes and J. GL Walton. For Surveyor Jos. H. McRee. For Constable of Wilmington Town ship Wm. Sheehan. A second primary, as stated, it ap pears will be necessary to determine a choice for Coroner, unless some compromise is effected between the two candidates who received the largest vote. - Capt. George L. Morton has 39 ma jority over Iredell Meares, Esq., for the State Senate, and Frank H. Sted man received a majority of 170 over all other candidates for Sheriff, and a plurality of 373 over the next highest candidate Mr. Samuel Northrop. The candidate receiving the largest vote was H. McL. Green for Treasurer, he having polled 1,675, a majority over his competitor of 1014. W. H. Biddle for Register of Deeds, polled 1,324 votes, a majority over all other candi dates of 557 and a plurality over the next highest candidate of 727. Wm. Sheehan for Constable of Wilmiogton township received a majority of 191, and a plurality over Millis of 265. In Caps Fear township, M. G. Chad wick was nominated without opposi tion for Constable, having received 40 votes and, O. W. Walton was nomi nated for Constable in Harnett town ship in a vote of 8 to 1. Charles Elliott, who was not announced as a candidate until noon yesterday, re ceived 11 votes in the Second ward for County Surveyor. The vote in detail, as it was returned to the County Executive Committee last n:ght, is embodied in the table printed in another column this morn ing. PRICHrCT OJTICXBS CHOSEN.
