A COMPROMISE
, IS EFFECTED
BETWEEN THE REPUBLICAN
FACTIONS At
JUNEAU.
ONLY ONE PRIMARY
WITH TWO TICKETS HEADED
BY oiiACKLEFORD AND
RUSTGARD.
JUNEAU, March 11.-—Represen
f tatives of the two republican fac
tions about which a report was
made yesterday, met last evening
and effected a compromise whereby
one primary election will be held
at the city hall at which every
republican will be allowed to vote.
It is said tlxat t'vo tickets will
A be put in the field with two sets
of candidates for election to the j
convention. One will be known as ;
the “Shackleford’’ ticket and the
other the “Rustgard” ticket.
The rumor circulated about town
that Shackleford would endorse1
Wickersham for delegate at the j
coming election, is not denied by j
Shackleford himself. On the other j
hand, Rustgard says that he favors j
Wickersham provided that there are :
no strings on the delegate. How- j
ever, Rustgard has intimated that j
if the deal credited to Shackleford
and Wickersham is consummated at
Seward, he shall be an independent
candidate for delegateship.
At Douglas, M. J. O'Connor, who
has always been an anti-Wicker- j
sham man and was one of Shackle- j
ford’s lieutenants, is working with j
Rustgard. Other anti-Wicksrsttam
men at Douglas are still working
with Shackleford, and apparently
are pledged for Wickersham:
It is expected that a heavy vote
will be cast at both Juneau and
Dougas.
