COUNTY MEN WIN.

Chicago City Faction Beaten at Republican Primaries. Chicago, Oct. 3,—At 1 o’clock this morning the conditions governing today’s republican convention were simplified. Lloyd Smith appeared at the county headquarters of the Great Northern hotel and announced that the city faction was satisfied that it was in a minority. It desired to have him, as chairman of the county central committee, call the convention to order, when the county folks could go ahead with the organization and name their chairman and other officers. The city faction might present contest# in a number of the wards, but this would be for the purpose of satisfying their own people rather than with any notion that the make-up of the convention would be changed. A majority of 100 was conceded to the county on the face of the credentials.
