THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, MARCIT 19, LOCAL POLITICS. Lively Time in the Eighteenth Ward—Clark's Friends Win. Warde Which Connot Be Relied on to Support Any Candidate, Complaints of the Unfair Denlings of Certain Commltteemen, Meotings of the Ward Olubs—Preparing g for the Primarics, *Tho fepublfenn candidates for the Masoralty pecupy abparently tho same position that thoy g1 dny bufure yesterday, Tho friendsof Ald, Clark cluim that thoy see no reason to rovise tho pgurcs published yesterday, which give hhn 14 Yotes, or more than u tnujority, There s, it 1s true, ono disturbing clement in thelr calculn- tlons which may modify thelr figures pomewhnt, pus then it fa an clement which cuts both ways, Where nward has n candidate for somo othor sity office, such a8 Tronsurer, City Attorney, or City Clerk, it 18 not in the habit. if it can help Ity of tuking o very prominont part In the Vojoralty flght for fear of causing Ni- plood and hurtivg thd chances of its speclnl canatdate, Thus, for {ustanco, John Raber is o candldate for City Treasurer from \be Fifth Ward, and so 18 cx-Ald. Knopf, from tho Thirteenth, Tho delegates from tho Fifth Ward nre claimed by the Clark people, aud those from the Thirtecnth by Mr. Rawlolgh's frivnds. It ls more likely, however, that the delegutus from those two wards will not take any nctive part lu tho canvuss. It i3 probable that thoy will pot vote as aunit on the firat ballot, but will split up thelr sulrages fn order that, when the Mayoraity 18 out of the wiy, they muy pot bave nllenated from thomselves tho sup- portersof defeated candldates, ThoLighthWurd, ‘whose vote lsgencraliy ussigued to Mr, Spatding, has 4 candlinte for City Clerk In the person of Tom Sennott. ‘Tho delogation from his ward will probably vote for the winnlug candldate, who- ever he inay ne, and not putltselt jn nntagonism toanybody. o to tho extunt thut varlous wards pave candidutes for minor city officos, it Is dif- ficult to tell precisely how thoy wiil voto, though tha chunce §8 thut they will split up thelr ballots, This, bowover, dues not muteriully atfect tho footings of Ald. Clark’s friends, becauso, as atated nbove, it cuts both ways. TIE FEELING ON TIlIZ NORTIT SIDE wasshowh to u certain extent last. night by tho pelection of a delegute ticket in the Elghteonth Ward, whero the friends of ull the other candi- dates comblned were unablo to mnke auy bead- way ngninst Clark's supporters. The snino stato of nifuirs, 1t I8 pretty gcnnmllfi admitted, ob- lains throuxhout the entfve North Side, Burlog nll yesterday the supporters of tho eandtdate were caucuming aod making finul ar- tangements for tho contest, which is 1o come olf Monday night.

The Democrats, by thelr great ma- Jority in the circult, are complete snnsters of tho situation, and have only to name their now | cholee, nnd his election must follow as a mat- ter of course, But ns to the candidates to se- lect, there Is the rub. The district, it ap- penrs, I full of prospective candldates for Lhe coveted ermine, and Denocratle counells are sadly divided ns to the proper man to select for the Judgeship.

B, Louts, March 18, —Passengers coming in on tho St, Louis & San Franclseo Road this morning tell of o startling affair that oc- curred on the trafn, Among those who got abonrd at Springfield was a broad-shoul- dered, heavy-set gontleman, probably six feet tall, and wearlug full whiskers, 1le scemed to bo of a socinl disposi- tlon, and {n a very short tlme he had made the ncauaintance of a party of two or three other gentlenen of shntlur Inellnations, After smng conversn- tion It was learned that tho Svringfiekl gen- tleman was on his way to Indinnapolis, near which plnce his father luy dying, Ho had been telegraphed for, and had some fears that the old gentlemun would bo desd beforo L could reach his bedside, As It grew lato the occupants of the car dropped oft asleep one by one, and by 1 o'clock even the convivially In- clined were wrapped In slumber. About 3 o'clock the thres companlons of tho Spring- fleld gentloman were rudely shaken by the arms and aroused from a soid slesp. They had n glimpse of thelr Springfleld friend rushing wlhlly through tho train erylng, “Tlore] hore!™ i u quick, ngitated towe of volee, "Tho evident suffering of the gontle- man enused them to nwake.
