Philadelphia, May 21.--Mr. Davis, Secretary of Labour; ap peared this morning to be safely nominated for the Senatorial scat now held by Mr. Joseph R. Grun dy, by appointment. Returns from a majority of the precincta were overwhelmingly in his favour as against his two opponents.
The primary appears to have been a thorough-going victory for the political machine controlled by Mr. William S. Vare, which was challenged by a newly-created or ganization built up by Senator Grundy,,
