The Republican Primaries.

The Republican township and precinct conventions, held lasiSaturday afternoon to elect delegates j -to the Congressional, Judicial and Representative conventions, appear to have been quite largely attended.- The principal interest seemed to be over the congressioixal delegates; and the result in that respect appears to have been that Crumpacker carried the whole county, except Carpenter Tp., where three Hanley men were elected. The result in Remington, so different from that in the rest of the county, can be largely attributed to the negative influence of the populistic and anarchistic Remington Press, which has been making an uncalled -for, meddlesome and impertinent war on Mr. Hanley, for some time past. Below we give the names of all the delegates for the different townships and precincts. The first name given, in each case, is the Congressional delegate, to the convention which meets June 4th, the second name, the judicial delegate, which convention met last Monday, and the third name, that of the Representative delegate, which convention has not yet been called.
