son with the records of 1880 shows that regis
tration is progressing as fast this year as two
years ago. Up to date there have been about
seventy more registrations than for the CORE.
sponding time in 1886. An examination
made by Registrar Tharp shows that the bro.
portion of registration of persons of foreign
birth to those of native-born citizens is about
two to one. Neither of the political parties
as yet seems to have effected any Organization

their work, and that thea registration will
go on much faster than Il has progressed M
