THE REGISTRATION TO-DAY.
A candidate for Congressman at Large will be
named to-day by the Republican State Com
mittee. No one had been positively decided
upon for the place last night. The members OF
the committee who have arrived do not speak
encouragingly of the party prospects IN their
districts. The letters of acceptance of Grover
Cleveland, D.B Hill aud William C. Ruger were
received yesterday. Mr. Cleveland condemns
the system of political assessments and the
interference of State or Federal official for the
purpose of thwarting the popular wish, and
opposes interference by the Legislature with
the government of cities. To-day is the first
day for the registration of voters in this city
and the second in Brooklyn.

the nomination for I" reasons personal to himself"
1t was admitted by members Of the committee that
Mr.. Whecler's name would not be brought before
the committee to-day. Alexander T. Orr of tho
firm of David Dows & Co.. who has

oranges" name was mentioned yesterday
by MI Crosby, the member OF the COMMITTEES committees
from Delaware County. He proposed that Congress-
man Ferris Jacobs, of that district be chosen
for the place. Mr.. Jacobs was one of the delegates
at Chicago who refused to obey the unit rule, and
he hae also clear record on the River and Harbor
bill, and has won the favor of farmers by pushing

anxious for the nomination.

sultatOn with the President yesterday, and 10 was
reported later that a candidate had been agreed

terest the question of who Will be chosen TO HI
the vacancy Oh the ticket , ..
Mr.. Evans the member from Oneida, SAID that IL
would be difficult to forecast the result OF the cleo
ton in that county The Republicans had good
local ticket in the field and would undoubtedly elect
their Assemblymen and member OF Congress. 10
was unUeniabe, however, that the feeling toward
the State ticket was lukewarn,t tn express IL mildly;
but a change might take place
When asked about the feeling IN Delaware
County, Mr.. Crosby replied Do you want the
truthf" The truth and nothing but
TRIBUNE reporter Then" said Mr.
Crosby 1.-The feeling toward the State ticket Is
decidedly lukewaIm." He added that the nomina-
ton of Mr. Jacobs for Large might
cure this apathy. but he could get idea OF what
the State Committee intended 10 do. -
Captain c. >. Cole the member from the AAlAth
District had just r.turned from Steuben County,
where he went Oh Friday. A week ago. on his re-
turn from that county, he said that lie found an
apathetc feeling among Republicans ther' though
