distress, will neglect in great mea'

is very natural. Thousands OF voters
have already fed from the plague.

fore the election. Perhaps thousands
of others will hardly take the trouble
to tnrn aside from their melancholy
duties their afflicted friends to reg.
lister in time. This will, of course,
work to the injury of the Democrat
ic ticket. The country expects the
city to give such An overwhelming
Democratic majority rs to overcome
any possible opposition maJorit'es

fall off considerably. For, while the
whites may be absent in large mum
bers and those that remain may be
neglected. of the duty OF registration
those who are manipulating the ne

and a smaller proportion OF WHOM
are attacked with fever, will be yer,
apt, as in times past, to see tina
this class take out their registration
papers and 60 to the polls on elee
ton day. In tact, we have reliable
authority for stating that alread.
the colored registration in New Or
