Cohoes, N. Y., April 8.—The Democratic primaries were held yesterday, and, as was expected, the proceedings ended in a row. The representatives of the two factions were armed with revolvers, dubs and pieces of gaspipe, and those weapons were freely used. Tiie Democrats are divided into two fac tions, represented by Mayor Garslde and ex-County Clerk Larkin. It seems that the city oommittee is composed of members of the Larkin faction, and in the call for primaries a resolution was printed to the effect that no inspectors of primaries were to be voted for at the caucuses, and to this the Garslde men objected. In the First ward a free fight was soon in progress, and the police forced the door of the polling plaoe and arrested the inspectors. The police met with resistance, and Court Officer Bennett was struck on the head with a hammer, and several severe gashes were inflicted on his face. He is dangerously hurt London, April 8.—The feud between the Birmingham Tories and Union isti becomes more bitter daily. After an ineffectual i|D tempt to secure harmony Mr. Albert Bright, son of the late John Bright and the Unlouist candidate for the vacant seat, has goOe to Italy, where he will remain until the election is over. This display of Indifference on the part of the candidate who was brought forward by tha Unionists, to the «xcluston of a Conservative, solely because ha was the son of his father, will keep a large number of Tories from the polls and likewise induce many Unionists to stay at homa. The Giadstonians, meanwhile, are doing excellent preliminary work, and it is not only poseMe but quite probable that the oentral division will next be represented by an out-and-out Liberal. 9PORTINQ EVENTS.
