VOL. IX THE DALLES, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1896. NO 74 PORTLAND PRIMARIES More Interest Taken Than a General Election. THE FIGHT EXCEEDINGLY BITTER The Simon Forces Beat the Hume-Fruk-Mlnto Combination in Most Precincts. Portland, April 2. Republican pri maries today give promise of being the moBt hotly couteated in the history of the county. There are two tickets in the field, Simon and Mitchell. The Si mon ticket is headed "For Low Taxes." The Mitchell ticket for J. H. Mitchell." The Simon forces have control of the polling places, while the others have control of the police and special deputy sheriffs to the number of four hundred. Should any underhanded work be at tempted serious trouble is threatened. A noticeable thing is the presence of a large number of strange men in the city who, it is charged, have been brought here for the sole surpose of voting both early and often. Both sides are confi dent and deter'n'.isJ. At 2 o'clock an attempt was made by the police to arrest Larry Sullivan, a sailor boarding house keeper, for intimi dating voters in the Second ward. The polling place is located in Sullivan's bearding honse and when the officer ap proached Sullivan, he retreated into an upper Btory of his "castle," and secur ing his shot gun announced to the surg ing crowd that the first man who at - tempted to arrest him would be killed. He took a seat in the second story window, shotgun in hand, and, sur rounded by eeveral of his peelere, watched the proceedings. In the Third Ward Pete Grant is di recting affairs for the Simon faction. The crowd is lined up for blocks away and it is probable many voters will be kept from the polls. The principal points of interest on the west side of the river are at the Second and Third wards. Here the voters are lined up for about two blocks waiting their chance. Voting is very slow ow ing to the number of challenges and the manifest attempt to keep voters from voting. In the lines are all conditions and classes of men. Business men are sandwiched in between morphine fiends and hoboes. No attempts at repeating have been discoverel yet. Simon is con ducting the fight in the Second ward in person.- Voting was suspended in the Eleventh ward (Albina) late this afternoon by arresting one of the judges. Among the placards on the many - hacks at the polling places "taxpayers against taxeaters" is the most conspicu ous. Long before the polls opened mot ley crowds of intending voters gathered. At some polling "places objection was made to some of the judges but without avail. Simon men would not yield. The polls opened at 1 o'clock and. the struggle began. The Oregonian today devotes six col umns of its space to the results of the primary elections. We excerpt the fol lowing: The Frank-Hume-Miato combine was defeated at the Republican primaries yesterday by the taxpaj-ere, notwith standing a most desperate and violent means adopted by the office-holders' rinz to defeat the will of the Republican party, and to control the city and county . convention. The scenes at a majority of the polling places were without parallel in the history of the Northwest. The entire police force of the city ' was de voted to the use of the ring, and, by most flagrant and indecent misuse of its authority, intimidated voters." threat ened, and even assaulted judges, and abetted and connived at violence, fraud and outrage. ' There was no pretense on Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Li WS-' the part of the bine-coated minions of the law that they represented the in terest of the people at large; but they openly espoused the cause of the com bine and used all the means in their power to secure its success. " The total number of votes cast waa 6569. The county and city convention, to be held Saturday, will number' 124 delegates, of which the taxpayers will have at least 80 votes. The taxpayers carried the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, part of the eighth, and the tenth wards, in the city, and the Frank-Hume-Minto combine carried the third, seventh, part of the eighth, ninth and eleventh wards. The taxpayers have 68 votes in the city convention ; the com bine 35 votes. Today was marked by many sensa tional episodes. In Upper Albina the police deliberately broke into the poll ing place, confiscated the ballot-box, ar rested the judges, and dragged them to the central station, because they refused Democratic rote. In the second ward there was a vast mob of heelers, thugs, vagrants and law-breakers of all kinds, and with the able and willic assistance' of the police, they had the space in front of "the voting place all day, and drove hundreds of citizens from the polls. Only 293 votes were cast, though at least 1000 Republicans were on hand ready to vote. These votes were cast largely by the riff-raff, who held their places in line and managed to put in a ticket when it was not rejected by the judges. Thi.s primary was the scene of several exciting episodes, and was a center of uproar and commotion all day. " No one was killed. The same scenes were repeated with somewhat less evi dence of violence, at third ward. All was comparatively quiet in the first, fourth, fifth and sixth wards, in which a free expression of Republican opinion was allowed, and which, in consequence, were carried by the taxpayers. In the seventh ward, there were disgraceful scenes of violence. On the East Side, except in Albina, there was compara tive quiet. Because of the tactics of the police, not more than one-fifth of the fall Republican vote was cast north of Washington street. Finar Del Rio Barnad. Havana, April 2. The capture of Pin ar del Rio and Santa Clara by the insur gents, who occupied them several hours and left them in flames, is a severe blow to tbe Spanish armies. General Fando and General Juarez Valdez, the military governors of the destroyed cities, have been ordered to return to Spain by Gen eral Weyler. The capt. -general is badly worried over the situation. He thought be had Pinar del Rio so strongly guarded that it was absolutely impossible for Maceo's forces to break in. But in the middle of the night of March 25 they came and literally laid tbe townjin ashes. Of several hundred residences, not more than a couple of dozen were left unin jured.
