AID. CLARK KEEPS TIE 1ran
Tomorrow night the Republican prim,,,.
VII! be held, and the brief agony OF tha NO
test fur the nomination for Mayor will bs :,
an end. What the result. will be IL n,a.ss
generally understood by those who bavs =.
oias, anu who have watched closely the DIR,
OF public sentiment. and the moye1npnt. =.
those Men who really have Influence o.1 ~.
whose actions are apt to indicate bow tn, tha
delegates from the wards in which they 1irs
will cast their vutes. There seems to he nv
reason for changing tie conclusion arrived
at some days ago, that Aid. Clark is ahead
1t Is not true that his friends have withdraw
him i'll favor Of anybody else, OF, that ,hey An

Nor have they been lighting any other candl

throngcd yesterday with his workers in thu
various wards, who met for the purpose Of:
EEroiT1SG >1UoGKEss AND MAKING Py,I

for to.morrow's contest. None, Of thosa
wards which have been claimed for Clark ara
regarded as doubtful, with the exception Of
/ the Fifth, which, having q candidate Of its
own fur City Treasurer. cannot be relied On.
! There Is also strong effort Making in The
| Fourth Ward to elect a Stewart ticket. Tbs
! remark WAS in,prutlentIy made that Commls-
sloner erStcwart was unable tncarry thettl
end of his own ward. That nett!eal him. add
he has bssN making 4 strOilg effort so muster

not without influence in the neighbor1uolin
which he lives. 1t is considered doubtful
however By those who are acquainted with
the ground. whether he will be- uble to MAKE
any Impression upon the Clark forces. Is
things stand now there Is, pretty nearly Ill
along the line. 4 consolidation af the friends
Of the candidates WHO are opposing Ald
Clark. This does hot apply to tile Twelfth
Ward, which Kawle;gh is expected to nan-
age >single-tanded; bur IN mosr Ut the Others,
notably such as the Eighteenth, for instance
the opposition to Clark see that they hare 10
clancu unless they unite. In solns wards
they are putting up what they call UuYedged
of Spalding, Cary, Kawleigh, and Clark,
hoping that they may be GD!e to secure votes
enough @ elect them, and thus deprive CiaEkof

has not become one OF Clark agaitis. Spald-

Clnrk feeling At the Third Waru meeting last
night 1ll3ke&it very plain that he will carry
it. The Second Ward declared for Spalulngs
but that has all along been conceded to hlm.
