NEW YORK, October 26th.-The completed
registration in this city shows an apparent
net Republican gain of five and one-third per
cent. compared with year ago. Experts
carefully estimate that the aggregate city
vote will be 200, 000 unless the Democrats
indifference decrease it. This. on basis of
the percentage obtained by Tilden four years
ago, and allowing for net gain as above,
would give Hancock less than 90 600 major
ity here, against so, 600 to 100, eco majority
for Garfield confidently expected elsewhere
in the State. A moderate estimate of disaf-
| fections among Democratic business men and
manufacturers reduce the probable city ma
| jority to 40, coo or less.
| The Express says: The Democrats claim
only IL 900 in Kings county. The registra.
ton indicates ten per cent. net Republican
| gain, which would leave about eco major
/ ity for Hancock. Adding Queens, Suffolk
and Richmond counties, $4,000 Democratic
majority below Harlem river is the utmost
that judicious Democrats claim as probable
or possible. The Republicans came down to
| Harlem river last year with larger majority
| than that Ia the foregoing calculations no
allowance is made for the undoubted falling
off 10 the Democratic vote this year by indif-
| ference, desertion to the Republican ranks
and the return Of business Republicans, who
| voted for Tilden four years ago. Twenty-Five
| thousand Republican gain from those causes
! is very moderate estimate consequently
| shrewd betting men are stalking their money
| generally and freely on the Republicans car
| rying New York by handsome vote. Per
sonally l consider $4,000 very low figure,
as the canvass looks to-day. and $4,000 will
| be no surprise. j. w. SIMoNToN.
ns.I
says The total registration in New York
city this year is zig. 929. against 167, S37 last
year. An analysis of the table shows that
the rate of increase has been much greater in
| Republican that in Democratic districts. In
the Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh and Thirteenth
Assembly Districts, all are Republicans.
| The rate of increase over the registration of
| 1879 is so, SO, IS and 46 per cent If the
total vote bears the same proportion to the
registration as in 1876, there will be 202, 600
votes polled next Tuesday. Adding to the
vote cast for President by each party in 1876
its due proportion of increase, as indicated
| by the percentages-we have a Democratic
total in round numbers of $50, 600, and the
Republicans a total of Y, 000, giving Demo-
cratic majority of $4,000. This is what the
table shows, if it shows anything but the
real increase in Republican strength in this
city does not appear on the registry lists.
THE FORGED LETTER PROVING TO BE A
| BOOMERANG.
NEW YORK, October 26th.-The thorough
exposure of the spurious letter on the Chinese
question attributed to Garfield, and the
strenuous efforts of Chairman Barnum to give
currency to the forgery, are reacting fearfully
against the utterers. Respectable Democrats
in great numbers express their disgust de-
clarius their purpose to rebuke such methods
by voting for Garfield. Hewitt's tardy con-
fession that the body of the letter is not Car
| fields, and only the signature is genuine, in
contradiction of his original positive asser-
ton that the whole paper was in Garfelds
| chirogrsphy, completely squelches the whole
thing in the minds of all fair men. The Utica
Observer presented the only authority yet
offered disputing the published declaration
| by many business men OF Lynn that
no II. j.. Morey was ever known there,
! that there was no record of his death there,
as asserted, and that no such institution as
the Employers Union had been known there
| And now the Observers authority, William
| Nash, publicly declares that he did not say
that he ever knew Morey, but only that
there was man employed by the mauufact-
urers to hire non Crispins during the shoe
makers strike, wi ose name he never knew.
| While no arrest has yet been made, the de-
tectives have clues TO the authorship of the
| forged letter which they confidently believe
will discover their man. The officers are on
the track of other and similar forgeries, con.
templated and intended to be sprung too late
| in the canvass to admit of efficient exposure
Honest men will look out for them during
the last week of the campaign.
! The Republican feud in Albany threatens
| the loss of one Congressional representative.
Chalmers Of Mississippi calls for the re-
vival of the methods of 1876, saying that the
| Democracy "has not man or gun to spare.
THE SITUATION IN OHIO AND INDIANA.
| NEw YORK, October 26th.-The Herald's
| Columbus (O.) special says: Notwithstand-
| ing the present denials of the authenticity
of the alleged Garfield letter on the Chinese
| question, the Democratic State Committee is
devoting its entire time this week with flood
| ing Ohio with fac SMILES of the document.
| At the Republican headquarters little is being
| done to urge upon the local committees the
Importance of keeping the campaign ma
| chinery in running order, and it would not be
surprising il the total of the November vote
would fall somewhat below that cast for the
State ticket, owing to the apathy or weari-
ness of the people, induced by the long and
exciting campaign just closed.
The Herdld's Cleveland special says Gar.
field stated to-day to one of his callers that
| he had just received information that the
Democratic managers of Indiana proposed
| during the now remaining days of the cam
paign to spend more money in buying in
voters than they had ever done before, real
izing that it is absolutely necessary for them
Co carry Indiana if they expect to elect Han
cock.
ALLEGED FRAUDS.
CIScINNATI, October 26th.-The Demo

frauds in this city in the October election,
a number Of signers of the address were
called before the Grand Jury to-day to give
evidence. Not having the facts fully ready
the examination was postponed.
CINCINNATI MERCHANTS AND THE SOUTH.

PROSPECTS IN TENNESSEE.
/ OCIODtr ZU5n.-OptCidlS give
] facts and figures to show that the Republi-
cans are sure to carry Tennessee by a hand
some plurality on the Gubernatorial vote and
| to gain at least one Congressman. There are
| three candidates for Governor, two being
Democrats. The State will undoubtedly give
majority for the Democratic Electors. The
above is the figuring of the Democrats them
| selves. The Republicans claim more, and say
there are wholesale assertions from the Dem
ocratic party, and claim that the election Of
a Republican United States Senator in that
State is quite possible. Other dispatches in.
| dictate possibility of the election of two Re-
publican Congressman in Kentucky.
THE OUTLOOK IN CONNECTICUT
In Connecticut impartial and independent
observers say there is every prospect of 6
very close election, with the chances some
what in favor of the Republicans. but while
the Hancock boom was at its hight the Demo
Gratis were confident of an easy victory. The
| October elections and the tariff have shaken
! their faith in large majorities, and the most
ardent of them do not claim more than z, DOC
in New Haven and a bare majority in the
| State. 1t is said that English, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, means to be
elected if it costs 500, 900.
