Clark has 110, HIs friends Inst night gave blin 8lx tnore, creditiog him with six In tho Eighth Ward, which, however, ho may not re- " ecive. There is llkewlso n question os to whotlior he will get tho Fifteenth Ward, whose delegates have cundidates for certnin minor oftices, and who mny thereforgo intotho trad- ing Lusiness, On theother hand, his unquestions ed plurality will bavo n tendency to win bim votes in wands tlke tho Fourtconth, which are split up, and io .the Seventh and Niuth, which arenl- ways uncertaln. Qo the second ballot it I thought that he will get all of the Thirteenth. 8o, while it ennnot be said thut ho goes Into tho Conventlon with un absolutely certalu majority, yet the chunces are ninoty-nino to one Iu favor of his nomination on the first ballot. Mr, Bpul- ding's friends’ figures vary from those in tho above table in that they cluim all the Thir- teenth, noarly all the Fourtecnth and Eighth, and gonto Jn tho Sixth. Butin this they uro wild.
