Offices indicated that the hard work Of the

The ex-Sherin had come from ratification
meeting in East Thirty-iourth street where he
addressed an immense audience. He is
doing hard work. travelling through his
district in tho day and addressing
meetings at night. He Is confident

OF confidence pervades every assemblage Of
anti-Tammany men. and 1t is marked char
acteristic OF all gatherings OF Republicans.
They believe that the combination against
Tammany is perfect. and must win. They
say that the large registration has placed

be that two-thirds OF the increase over last
years registration is in the twelve Assembly
districts that were carried in that year by Jacob
Hess the combination candidate for ReRster.
