TIE REGISTRATION.

The returns from the reg;stratiO n
are coming in slowly, and the fig-
ures indicate something Of falling
of from the estimates. Only three
or four Of the counties complete
have bsen received, and these, with
the exception OF Salt Lake and
Utah, show fewer voters than was
calculated upon. Precinct returns
showing about $4,000 names on the
lists have been published. Very
few returns have been received
from Beaver, several large pre-
cincts in Cache are still want
ing, only about a fourth of
Iron is in, not over the half Of
Kane, little or nothing Of Sewer,
and only portion Of Weber. If
the registration in the precincts not
heard from runs about as it did in
.bose places from which the returns
have been received, there ought to
be between 1000 and 5000 more
voters TO be reported. We esti-
mated the total registration OF the
Territory at about $1,000, bas-
ing our computations upon
the proportion of voters in the
population Of salt Lake. The
country places have not held up to
the estimate, and the list viii show
between 1000 and 5000 less than
the number stated above. 1t is pos
sibie that some Of the counties to
hear from will show a full registra-
ton. in which event the figures may
be increased 10 near the first esti-
mate. The falling off has been pro
pOrtionate with each party, The
''liberal" vote, thought to be about
1000, will not run over 5000, still
leaving the People in the ma
JOrity Of not less than five to
one. The female registration is
everywhere larger than the esti-
mate. 1t was thought the women
vote would not equal one-third of
the total, but it will reach fully |
t~O-fifths of the whole. This in
crease is due largely to the fact that /
ladies' belonging to the liberal"
party have registered much more
generally than heretofore, very few |
Of them having failed tC avail
themselves Of the right of suffrage.
Probably by the end of the week the
'etUrns will all be in.

IF THE people al over the Terri
tory are manifesting no deeper in
terest in the primaries than those OF
Salt Lake did last night, cOmparat-
lively few people are going to exer-
else their right to a voice in the
nomination of a delegate to Con-
gress. The voters were so prompt
and determined in the matter of
registration That it was confidently
hoped they would display lively
interest in their other political

THE DEMOCRATS of New York

this fall. The republican nominee
for governor, Secretary FOlger, is
one of the most popular men in the

t1ird larger than that Of his party,
and his service as judge only made
him more respected and increased
his popularity. II is true he is an

that fact viii ccst him few votes.
for he has the confidence Of both
stalwarts and half-broeds Mr..
Cleveland, the democratic nominee.
is a good man who for years has
figured prominently in the councils
of his party. lie is also rich.
and willing to use his money
legitimately 70 advance the
interests of himself and the DEM
Ocracy; at the came time ne is not a
strong man in the state. His nom
nation was probably due largely
to the fact that be was about the
only available man upon whom the
divided democracy could agree. The
democrats being once more reunited
should John Kelly work with the
party, bringing his formidable fac
ton into line, Cleveland ought to
carry the state, for there are more
democratic voters in New York
than republicans. A democratic |

The Masquerade Ball.

This event came off at the Opera House
last evening. Owing to the general ~festiv-
tiles and many late dinners, the maskers
did not begin to arrive until a very late
hour. The grand march was held off until
half-past 9 o'clock, but even then not
many had assembled. They continued to
arrive until II o'clock when the floor began
to assume a lively and picturesque appear
ance. The ladies were largely in the ma
jority, however, and partners were in de-
mand. The characters presented nothing.
new, but the ladies generally were quite
p~rettily costumed. Some of them had
apparently gone to considerable expense
and trouble. The gallery was pretty well
filled with spectators, among whom were
many who were wont to don mysterious
habits and participate in the floors gayeties.
The music vas furnished by R~iegelhuth's
band, and was fine. Messrs. Ryland and
Winzell did everything in their power to
make the evening pleasant, and we regret
that the late hour at which the maskers
arrived prevented us from giving their
names and the coatumes they wore.

The Way in which the Day Was
Observed in Eureka.
Yesterday was one of the most ioyous
days perhaps ever experienced in our
town. The day, although a light breeze
was blowing from the north, which made
the atmosphere crisp, was beautiful in a
flood of sunshine, the snow-covered hills
standing out in glorious contrast to the
azure-blue sky. Everybody appeared to
be contented and satisfied with what the
day had brought him. And where the men
all wear smiling faces it may be taken for
granted that their wives, daughters and
sweethearts were equally happy. The
children reveled in the day. delights, and,
whether at the Preside or in the church,
their little hearts were gladdened, and
their merry rejoicings could be heard at
every turn. The interchange of gifts was
universal, and if our shopkeepers have
any nice things left it may be accounted
for from the fact that there was more than
enough to go round. From abroad much
was received, the express and mails being
taxed to deliver packages. The sidewalks
"eie Hiieu Will men WHO hau come TO
town to spend the day, and the saloons
must nave secured their share of the days
business. The restaurants all round fur
nished princely dinners, and all of them
were crowded until a late hour. All in
all, the day, as We have said, was an ex-
tremely happy one, and was fifty wound
up by a Christmas tree for the children
in the Episcopal Church, a masquerade
ball at the Opera House and skating at the
Rink.

A Snake Household.

freedom of the woods, where, If the rep
tile will not run, the man can; but
the Professor keeps his snakes in the
room and about the yard, in boxes and
crates, in a manner at once careless,
familiar and appalling. A countryman

good deal discomposed upon entering

woodsmen, while the room became per-
