when there will be a grand procession aud display
Of the mechanic arts, in all probability will prove

spectators. Great pains are being taken TO make

other places for the accommodation Of visitors are

have already many rooms engaged.
The September registration Of voters is now
progressing rather quietly In our city. People DO
not seem 10 take as much interest therein NJ they
should do, considering the right at stake-that Of
voting. A matter Of this Kind should not by any

been anticipated. Allowing the same ratio Of
registering for the next thirteen days-or the end
Of the time allowed by law TO register voters-it
would make very little over 6o.oOO voters In the
entire city instead Of $4,000 as estimated BY .

months ago. IL such be the case II shows plainly
that there has been fraud and cheating somewhere

the city. Oar Democratic friends have serious
apprehensions that the registry rs being taken
will very materially reduce their najorities here
after compared with what they used TO be when
dead men and all sorts Of names-the real persons
not being In existence could be made 10 count Ne

voters will decrease rather than increase on the
daily average from now up TO the time Of closing
the registry books.
