Clark Has the Bulge for Mayor on the Republican Side. Beform the Primaries—How a Stalwart Republican Proposes to Do It. After 8 week's playing with the Democracy of Chicago, Carter H. Harrison bas gone down to New Orleans to participate in the Mardi-Gras Testivities, leaving the municipality, for the time being, to take cure of itself. The opposi- tion to bim in his party has pot tuken sullicient shape to be able to suggest another name as candidate for the Mayoralty. Thereis apathy in the ranks which is boding no good for the Democracy this spring. The greatest dissatis- faction comes from the way In which the gam- blers are running things, and the manper in which the concert and dance balls Hourish under the vpresent régime, The jarge portion of the better class of the Dcmocracy - will act with the Republicans 1&fs spring, and especially wiil this be the case with the business element, if the Republican ‘party nominatesa good ticket. So far tho De- mocracy has not many candidates to offer, ex- cept for City-Attorney, and for which there will be a scramble. The Republicans have still in the tield Ald. John M. Clark, Jesse Spalding, and Jaines T. Rawlelgh, with Commissioner Stewart hupeful that lightning may strike him. Allof these gentlemen are good men, but Mr. Stewart cannot be considered as serfously a candidate. Mr. Rawlelgh's strength is not as great as he had hoped for, and his followers bave commenced to quarrel among themselves. while in bis ward the opposition to his nomina- Ton is greater than his friends will admit. Mr. Spalding besnot answered the call asking him to become a candidate, and it is said by his friends that be jis hesitating because of his friendship for Ald. Clark, who residesin the sume ward, and both capnot Fet that delegn- ton. ' It is admitred upon all sides that Mr. Clurk {s by far the strongest man vet pluced Vefore the public. and bis nomination by the Hepublican Convention is more than likely. Mr. Clark’s record in the Council is such as to com- mend him to all classes, and be 15 acceptable to all clashing factions. Helsin the happy posi- tion of baving no political cnemies, and in that respect he s stropg.. In all ' the wards be meets with favor, snd the .Hattering call which compelled bim to become a candidate 1 such 8s to carry great weight and influence with {t. His ability to give to Chicago an hon- orable, economical, and wise Administration is acknowledged upon all sides, and there is no doubt but that be will be able to defeat Carter H. Harrison, if the latter i3 nominated by the Democracy. Itis generally admitted that Mr. Rawlelgh is not a strong enough man fer that. FOR THE CITY TREASURERSHIP the candidates have dwindled down 10 one,— Jobn I2sber, of the Fifth Ward. He has no op- positon. He isin the lumber trade, and known as 4. good man, who, in all the public positions be has ever filied, has shown hiruself bonest and competent. Mr. Raber 18 a large taxpayer and properts~owner. , For City-Attorney there are offcred W. T. Un- derwood, Samuel ~Appleton, and Hempstead Washburne, of the North_Side, Col. R. W. Rica- by, W. D. Bishop, and A. N. Linscott. It s gen- erally conceded that tho City Clerkship will go 10 an Irish-American, and a number of names have been prominenty meationed in connection ‘with the place. Among them are Justice Scully, Jobn F. Scanlap, Tom Sennott, J. M. Gettman, Patrick Prendergrast, Michael Petrie, Peter Buschwah, and Neil S. Graves. The last-named 1s the preseut West-Town Clerk, and was for eight years with the Pullman Palace-Car Com- any. He hds been docket clerk in the Probate Bourt since its organization, four years ago. ‘The town oftices seem to g0 a-begging for can- didates. In the West Town Pleasant Amick is 8 candidate for retlection as Assessor, and J. B. XNordhelm has no opposition for the office of Supervisor, while Peter Schillo is making an ac- ceptable Collector. Ald. Thompson, of the Thir- teenth Ward, whose lerm expires this soring, is not, and will not be, a candidate for retlecdon, but he is belng urged fcr the ition of Town Collector. He s a grocer on West Lake street, doing large and prosperous business. ‘The only man prominently talked about in the South Town is Frank Drake, who will find little or no ofl'mslfiml to his renomination for As- gessor. His competeiicy and ability are ac- Xknowledged upon all sides. 1o the North Town ‘there will be a general shaking up, but nothing as s far been developed that will give shupe to any movement. In the Aldermanic field there are g great many aspirants, but nothing has yet ‘been developed from which & guod slate for either side cun be made up. Among the candidates for Alderman in the Thirteenth Ward is Mr. J. L. Bennett, the well- known short-band writer. There is not another candidate in the field in that ward who is, tbrapgh generel koowledge or through experi- ence of legislation, as well qualified for the posi- tion as Mr, Bennett. 1t is understood that Al Thoropson, who has served two terms vers ac- ceptably, will not run again, which, it i3 be- licved, leaves an easy contest open for Mr. Bennett. REFORMING THE PRDIARIES. A correspondent siguing himselr * Stalwart® writes a leogthy communicaton to THE TRIB- TNE, in which be points out what he calls * glar- ing defects™ in the system of primary elections, and !u?@lx improvements which might be 'he subject is introduced by a reference 10 the importance of theapproacking municipal election, and the fact that the only hope for the Democracy is its obtaining control of the pri- maries is énlarged upon. The wiiter points out as the first defect in the primary systen tho poseibility of the sale of a ward by its member of the Centrat Committec toone of thie candi- dates for office and_ the appointment of primary judges in favor, of such didate. Besides this jaside influenc: there is. the additional danger of outside crovkedness, and the de! ton is made **solid for Mulhooly,” or whoever has purchnsed the Central Committeeman. The practice of import- ing voters from outside wards tocapture the primary i8 referred to as unother source of evil. iseveral instances where this practice has been carried onfn this city are darkly hinted at. The oft-repeated question as to whether it would not be an improvement to elect delegates in a club meetine is answered by the statement that it is 88 casy to pack a meeting as it is to capture a primary by fraudulent votes. The practice of *trading candidates™ is aiso spoken of as one which is to be deplored, and other less serious defects are referred o by “Stalwart.” The Re- publicans, he says, will refuse to vote for any candidate forced upon their ticket Ly Demo- cratic votes, and will not countenance any dishonest practices at the primaries. Tne writcr suggests the following measures which might be tuken 1o purify the present defective primary system: first, aliow none but Republic- Zns tovoteatd Republican primary; second, euforce this rule byfestablishing a register bear- 4ng; the name of every known Republican in the ward: third, let the ward club notify every Re- pubtican in the ward of the dates of the meeting 10 select delegates and of the primary; fourth, Zfurnish each registered “Republican witha_cer- titicate of registry signed by the officers of the club; fifth, justruct the judges 1o refuse to take 2 ballot from any one who cannot produce such certificate of registry; sixth, unless the holder of the certificate is known to the judges, he must be satisfactorily identified as to name and residence; seventh. as each man votes bis name shallbe checked on the register;eightb.the judges shall be selected by the club at an advertised meeting, and not more than two friends of any candidate shall be adwitted to the poll while the vote js being counted. The writer suggests that 8 ticket be provided on which the voter can write his first, sccond, and third cholces for tho ~various oftices, and that the delegation be in- structed accoraiugly, thus giving the fuil voice of the people in the sclecron of nominees. *‘Stalwart” is of the opinion that these plans can be profitably operated, the only extra ex- pease being for extra clerical work in breparing the register, and he solicits criticiem and us- sion on them by good Republicans. TWELFTH WARD REPUBLICANS. The Young Men's Republican Club of the Twelfth Ward held a meeting last night jn Ows- ley Hall, Mr. W.S. Hull in the chair. Noother business was transacted than to adopta con- stitution and by-Inws and elect officers, The otficers elected were: President, W. S. Hull; Vice-President, W. S. Elliott: Secretary, Edward Laugston; Treasurer, L Larsen. Adjourned to one week from next Tuesday. FIRST WARD. The First Ward Republican Club met last evening at the Grand Pacific. with Abner Tay- Jor iu the chair. Messrs. Hook, Brokosk, Wren, Nickerson, and Dixon were appointed a com- 1nittee to name two judges of election for cach precinet in tho ward. who shall be recommended for acceptance to the City Council. Ald. Dixon was requested to secure five election precincts for the ward at the coming election. F. A. Brokoskl offered ths foliowing flattering preamble in regard to Alé. Dixon, which was _unanimousiy adgpte VREREAS, The citizens of the First Ward ‘will, at the aoproaching municipal election, be ralled upon to elect an Alderman to #ill the gavauey caused by the expiration of the term of etlice of Ald.

Spoeches. wers. made. by, Ald. Dixon, Col Roberts, E. W. Wood, and others, after which the Club adjourned for one week. SIXTH WARD REPUBLICANS. The Sixth Ward German Republican Club held ‘a well-attended meeting last evening at Delp’s Hall, corner of Hinman and Lincoin streets. Charles . J. Tripp, the President, occu- pied the chair, and Charles Loucke was Secre- tary. A resolution was adopted providing for the holding of the primary election in that por- tion of the ward that is most centrnl to the. Republican voters, instead of having it in the centre of the population ns decided upon by the regular ft‘enubucnn Club of the ward. A committee of three was_appolnted to coanfer with the other club and endeavor to have the primary heldabout the corner.of Nineteenth and May strects. Mr. Tripp was anoounced asa candidate for Alderman, subject to the Repub- lican primary, and the meeting indorsed bim, THE COURTS. NORRIS VS. WISWELL. Some mouths aroa bill was filed in the Cir- cuft Court by 3rs. Ada E. Wiswell agafost her son-in-law, John W. Norris, and others, in which she made some strong and ruther reckless charges sgafnst him. She clalmed that in 1673 Mrs Norris, together;with her husband, executed a trust-decd on her sepurate property 10 secure, 2 loan of §7.000 from the Etnun Insurunce Com- pany, and that the proceeds of the loan were all used by Norris in his business, or for his own usc. That though be executed tho notes and trust-deed jointly with his wife, he has, since her death in 1879, refused to pay either the in- terest or taxes, or the $3.500 still remuining due and disclaimed any llubility thereon. That, on the contrary, he had renounced the bequestsieft tohim by his wife’s will, and was endeavoring to get half her estate under the Power act of 1574, when, ia fact, he could not, sequire aay rights under that act, as his wife's estate was given to her long before that act ,was passed by com- plainant herself. She therefore asked that his renunciation of his wife’s will should be set aside; that he should be compelled to pay the remainder due on the mortgage: for & Receiver and the sale of his interest in the Safe & Lock Company, of which he i3 Vice-President. After some delays Mr. Norris has filed his an- swer, in which he takesup each charge made against him, and efther explains or most em- phatically and specifically denfes it. In the first pluce, he denies the insinuation or implication thut his wite derived her estate from complain- ant, her mother, the fact being that ig came to ber from one of her former Busbands, He ciajms that bfs mother-in-law had been very reckless in her allegations, and_has done hber utwost simply to injure him and his business, or perhaps to preVent him from claim- ing his legal mghts in his wife’s estate. He admits that he joined with his wife in cxecuting a trust-deed tosecure a loan of $7.000, but denies most positively that he received any part of the money derived from such loan, or that she paid the interest thereon. Norrislikewise denfes that be owes his wife's estate anything, hut, ou the contrary, asserts that the estate i ludebted to him in & large amount for moneys advancea and taxes paid. In regard to the claim made that he took some notes and a mortgage made by his brother, George W. Norrls, which belonged to his wife’s estate, and converted them into cash, he characterized the whole charge as absolutels false, and even depics that he ever had a brother of that name, or that his wife ever owned aoy securities made by any brother of his. He denies, furthermore, that be has pretended to be without any property, and admits he has been and is Vice-FPresident of the Diebnld Safe & Lock Company, notwithstanding the attacks of his mother-in-law ou bim, and'is engnged in o lucrative business, Itis nlso de- nied that aoy part of this business has been bought with Mrs. Norris' money, or_with the ‘money borrowed by her, or that he is liable in any way, legaliy or equitably, for the debt to the insurance company, and in conclusion usks to bave the suit dismissed as against him. TOPKINS V5. HOPKINS. Ablll for divorce was flled scme time ago In the Circuit Court by Mrs. Anoa S. Hopking against her husband, Willlam H. Hopkins, on the ground of desertion and cruelty. He replied with a cross-bill, making very serious charges of improper conduct sgainst her character. All these charges, however, were &oon after with- drawn, he made no defense, and she obtained a divorce a short time ago on the ground of de- sertion. The care and custody of her children were also awarded to ber. As the allegations of the:cross-bill were made public at the time, it {s only justice to Mrs. Hopkins .that their with- drawal and her decree should also be published. MURDER TRIALS. Annie Stackley, the woman charged with the kiliing of Isham Williams, a colored man, by striking him with a hatchet, was acquitted by a jury in Judgze Hawes' branch of the Criminal Court yesterday forenoon. Assistant-State's- Attorney Thomson became satisfied that therc was a reasonable doubt of the woman's guilt on hearing the testimony of two of the principal witnesses, and the Court instructed the jury zc- cordingly. 3 Another murder trial will probably be com- menced in the Crimina! Court to-morrow morn- ing,—the case of Edds Powers, who stands cliarged with the shooting of Ye Mon, u Chinese laundryman, on North Hulsted street, near Mil- waukee avenue. The Xilling was done last No- vember. 'The friends of the deceased Chinaman allege that Powers—~who was accompanied by Pete Maloy at the time—entered the laundry at an early hour in the morning and attcmpted to rob Ye Mon. The latter followed his murderer out of the door, and received the fatal bulleton the sidewalk, immediately in tront of his place. Powers fied from the city, going to Indisnapolis, but returned 8oon after- wards, and was arrested 2t a house on North Des- Dplaines street by Detective Simmons. State’s- Atmrlney Milis will conduct the case for the people. PETTY CASES. i Judge Moran disposed of the following cases yesterday: Martin O'Connor’ was found gulity on three charges of petit larceny, and was re- manded to await sectence. William McCarthy picaded guilty to obtaining money under false ‘pretenses, and sentence was suspended, B THE GRAND JURY. The Grand Jury heard elght cases yesterday, and found true bills with one exception. Tho recent frauds in the County Clerk's oflice have been under consideration during the week, It is alleged that Al Reinke stole upwards of $3,000 from the Redemption Fund. The modus opers andi bas already been explained. He would pretend to the Cashier that be held tax-sule certificates of various amounts, and would cause these to be pinned to a genulne claim of a tax-buyer and get a check on the Corn Ex- change Bank for the whole amount. The tax- buyer would—guilelesly, of course—assent to the incorporation of the twoumounts, and indorse the check, either in whele or in pert, to Reinke, who would pocket the cash. No sale certificates were given to the Cashier in such cases,so far as Reinke was cuncerned. As has been stated, County-Clerk Klokke hes made out a_ check, payable to the Redemption Fund, covering the amount, leaving the matter,s0 far asa scttle- mentis concerned.not between tho Public Trens- umr_r l?izd Rewmnke, but between the lutter and 3Mr. okke. There were examined yesterday W. W. Marcy and P. E. Stanley, taxbuyers: Mr. Baird, an em- ployé of Ira Holmes; Mr. Ensterly, of Easterly :‘,"Spfl!lford. furnishing-gcods dealers on Madison cet. Pending the investigation, the Grand Jury is sald to_be looking into the methods by which professional taxbuyers make themselves “solid " with persuns employed in the public revenue departments whose help may be of use in the taxbuving business. Mr. W, IE. Sulli- Yan, the foreman of tne Grand Jury. is having a thorouh inquiry made, and has madeout an additonal list of " witnesses who will be heard this week, THE JAIL. At the jall yesterday George P. Butler charged with forging a check upon which he fn- dorsed the nameof Alvin Hulbert, of the Sher- man House, was committed: Joseph C. Davison was recommitted because he had refused to marry Nellie Nelson, in accordance with an or- der ot Justice Hudson, before whom he was ad- Judged a father in prospective. Peter Felton ‘was set at liberty upon furaishing a bond of 3200 as n guarantee that he would not kill his wife. Albert Koliwigkl, chnrzed with riot, was dis- cbarged on bail. George Allen failed to appenr betore the Court when required, and was recom- mitted to awalt trial on n charge of larceny. gfl]fllm;ijcgdsc Slmllh.

Many owners of horses in the city are alarmed at tho outbreak of cercbro-spinal meningitis among these animnis. The disease is prevatent in all parts of the city, and many cases have beeu reported, not only in car-stables but in pris vate and livery stables. The diseaseefirst ap. peared in this country in 1871, when it"assumed the form of an epldemicand thousands of horses died of it. There are many opinions us to the cause of the disease, some attributiug it to the severe weather, others to tho great strain_upon the horses caused by starting or drawing beavy loads through the snow which has obstructed the streets, others to the fact that many horses were kept boused throughout the extreme cold weather and then a8 scon 28 mild weather set in taken out and overworked, while others be- licve that it is caused by feeding horses on corn. The mortality among horses this winter 18 greater than usual. The averake number of deatbs arily lust winter was fifteen. This win- ter the dead-boats have removed nbout twenty- five daily.
