| voted to call special election for Mayor. The
| Republican Club OF the ward has nominated Will
| lam Metzger, German OF lo0sl celebrity and
John kAkuskas Bohemian possessed Of neither
much ability as speaker nor shreHdness and
tact as politician. Fred Loddine, . contractor
residing ahout in the centra Of the ward, is
highly talked of for the office, and will no doubt
| effect some combination with AID. Cullerton.
The other canddates ars Henry Walk and
Charles E. Decker. The Democrats Of the ward
los los on ~ the day pA'ea'' Of election @ They e,
have M thoroughly reliable men whom they
! can place upon their ticket. William Rau1eigh

The Seventh Word, tho stronghold OF the Hill
| dretha and the home OF bis eRgla comes to tue
front Like solid ward, and presents neither
Hildreth nor Nod as tho most likely can
| and valued ciark in the Post-Ofice. Hildreth is
| politically dead in tho ward, and c4unot be re-
| turned McDouald is useful man IN one way
| and use}ess in another. He ia Of 30 contrary q
| disposition thht he nevar can become popular.
To hia credit it must, however, be said, that he
| is strictly honest, and has firmly withstood the
vaccinations OF Hildresh. He is looking for the
| nomination On tie Democratic ticket The
/ other candidates arc B. Collans, Matt Fleming,
| and JAmea Rockford. the frat OF whom is the
[ only one Of ANY political strength or impoc-
tancs~
The Eighth Ward, the old ~B1oody Ninth, :"
trots out Aid. James 0Erion, who is spt to ride
and AID. T. F. Bailey, who is put up to be
slaughtered. &. ". 6pot1ord Is mentioned on
] the Republican ticket, but only N earthquake,
or soue equally unlooked-tor occurrence, would
/ induce the Democratic Eighth Ward to send a
Republican Alderman cut. Louis Foley, Jerry
| Quinn. and Thomas Heating, arc the other can
| didates. Frank Lawlor completes the List. He
is going to try bis luck On an Independent ticket,
not that which is being engineered BY the Colviu
| crew, however. John oon2iakey, who Was do
feated last year for tho position, has brought out
Pat Rafferty,, his old collesgne, but ha stands
| not ghost Of ahow.
The Republican Club Of the Ward meets to.
morrow evening, when 1t is barely probable
| that 6oma now and more popular candidates
will be put in the field.
The Ninth ward has virtually thrown its two
| old representatives, AID. Noodman and Aid.
| D. ". Clark. The former will run independ~
entity, while tho latter will hold OF for the fall

| some half million, and Dr. Jared Bsssets,
| worth ueatly ~ much, both good meu. P. @.
| Feeny and Justice Salisbury ere also mon-
toned.
/ The Tenth Ward presents "Litt1e White,
who, like Fitzgerald. betrayed tho principle be
| represented, and Was. seducad by the Col
| vim crowd His chances are fcw, indeed,
aud be may rs we'll return. His colleague;

| Whites recent letter 1ofusing to run again has
| not been taken back. Tho tWo most prominent
/ men mentioned are 3 planning mill proprietor
named Smith, and John Gittieso0, vell-knoHn
| Scandinavian,
! Tho Eleventh Ward presents aa candidates a.
| g. Throop and ]. 3. Briggs. both too we'll known
| to need any comment Aid. Heath would nos
[ consent to run again. His intimate knoWledge
! Of city finances makes him almost An invaluable
I member Of the Council The candidates Of the
| Club in this ward a1e always elected almost
! unanimously.
| The Twelfth Ward presents Aid Campbell,
| but mRpv Republicans think ha has too
| oftan waverod in hiB purposes to be couaid-
cred II all reliable. He is like q good workman
who needs All ipterminable amount Of watching.
Aid. Case will probably oonsent to run agsin.
He has served NTH succesa s. Fl. McCIea, q
| ptominent member OF tha Bonrd Of Trade, is
mentioned, and would probably consent to run
il favored With the nomination. The SOUTH
western portion OF the ward mas put ln nomna-
| ton j. D. Sutter, and the extrems wosssrn por-
tl0n W. ". Calklns+
THIRTEENTH.
The Thirteenth Ward maE send back tho prea-
ent representatives, Aid. Qairk and Cleveland,

done woll for their ward. E1-Ald. B. G. Gill is
spokon Of as candidate on taxpayers ticket:
The Independent or Gteenbsck Club OF the ward
has placed in nomination W..H- Dobson and
James Frake, d real-estato dealer,
toCnrEENTu.
The Fourteanth Ward will send two better
men than now represent her, probably, in tha
personages OF John Baumgartner, q solid, sub~
stantisi German CITIZEN. and ". &. johnson, "a
equally substantial Scandinavian. AID Ryan
and Ecahardt may prepare 70 step down and out.
Col. 4. II. Rafan sud 4. ]. Elyig will also make
strong candidstes~ The ward Is thoroughly Re-
publican and may ba expected to saud Repub-
IcRn Aldermen to the Council.
The Fifteenth Ward will weed out Stout aud
Mahr, who have violated their pledges to con-
srituents on every possible occasion: Eugene !.
Sittig and Capt. Depuy Are mentioned by the
Nepnb}ican Ward Club The first il unquestiou-
ably fair oandldats.
In tho Sixteenth Wardt Aid. Lengaches has the
presumption to agan ask his constituents for
their franchises, and ouce g1seo to hlua they are
irredeemnb}o, for be never fails to weaken wien
the tina OF action aftiye5. Fits colleague, AID.

By the day OF the primaries it IS probable
tia: some new and better candidates than either
Of the above will ba placed ID tho field and
nominated. There are az sbnndsnce Of good
men in tho wsrd, and it only needs little en-
cousaEement to bring scosa Or mose Of them
cut
SEVENTEENTH.
Tha Seventeenth Ward, strong Democratic
ward is to be asked to sead back AID Sweeney.
AID. Murphy will only be candidate upon one
condition. aud that is the discrimination Of e1-
Aid. Carney to run for the Office. Batween the
two there ia bitter feud, anil each is anxious
70 push it to the end, and afray tho voters Of
tho ward On either side. This quarrel will cer-
tainly split the ward and Republican may pos
eibly sip iu. Robert Knight and Olof WIDER,
both good citizens, ara tailed Of.
EIGHTEENTH.
The Eighteenth Ward Republican Club has
put up jacob Boser aud James L. Kirk. solid,
substantial, and capable busipess man, against
whom the Corcoran and Dickinson e}oment ought
to have bat little st1ow. Ths latter are both
candidates, and the fight will probably reso!ye
itself into combat between the respectable and
dlsreputable elements Of tbs ward Boser aud
