ment of the Republican plan to carry
the election by NAud is exciting intense
Indignation among New Workers. State
and local pride is very strong here, and
the knowledge that the Republicans
hope to win by Dartering away the suf-
frages of New York to party of cleo
ton manipulatOrs imported from
Pennsylvania, will in itself
win thousands of votes against
them in this city. More than month
ago the plot was cOnsummated. Chair
man Quay was at Atlantic City. Bill
Leeds and Boss McManes conferred
with him and then commenced the series
Of conferences and operations that
are now carried on through the
meetings of Quay's kitchen cabi-
net here. These meetings are not
held at Republican headquarters,
but at the Everett house and the
participants are surprised that their do
ings are not kept secret. They find it,
however, useless to attempt this, and in
spite of his detestable reputation as an
election fraud, the notorious Leeds is
said to be installed at Republican head
quarters in open charge of election
management. Chris Magee, Quay's
old-time rival, whom he euchred at
Chicago by his deal with Harrison has
spent week here and the two worthless
have come to an agreement about the
plan of the intended conquest of New
York by the Philadelphia machine.
During the next few days there are
likely to be disclosures that will astonish
the country. The effect of yester-
days registration in this city has
been to increase Democratic confidence.
The total excess of voters recorded
for this year over the two first days of
1884 is $4,000. This means very large
gain in the Democratic plurality for the
presidential election. The following
expressions of opinion from the ma
tional Democratic committee and from
representative man from TammanY
hall shows how the registeration is re-
garded by those most
FAMILIAR WITH SUCH AFFAIRS.
Hon. j. j. Richardson, national DEM
ocratic committeeman for Iowa, said:
"Of course we are gratified by the re-
suit of yesterdays registration in New
York, showing continuation of the
increase over 1884. Taking the two
days together, the increase of $4,000 in
the whole town and the gain in every
district shows the popular interest
is intense, and gives assurance of
very large plurality for the Democratic
make the carrying of the state quite
certain by handsome figure. As 1
said, after the first days registration. in
great Democratic community like
this, where the number of votes in
creaseS largely, the gain must tell in
favor of the Democratic party. We are
going to have over 10000 more Demo-
cratic votes as things now are, than if
there were only SINGLE Democratic
nomination for mayor. The more in
terest in Democratic parties throughout
the city, the less will be heard
of Republican efforts to re-
nonsensical talk about free trade. The
working people hereabouts, from all
that we could hear, made up their
minds that the Democrats are their best
friends, and their only true friends, and
in a word, the Republican campaign
among the masses is completely broken
down. We feel very sure of success, a
very great success, but the encourage
ment is only going to make us work
harder than ever until the last hour of
election day.
TAAIAIANY's TALK.
Gen. Francis b. Spinola, Tammany
congressman for the Tenth district, said:
81 think YOU can say that the very
from the Democratic parts of the city,
and it is not only strong, but almost
certain indication that the Democratic
majority in the city of New York
will reach 10000. The apparent
dissensions in the party in this city to
those not familiar with the politics Of
New York may have an unfavorabie ap-
pearance, but there is nothing that can
transpire on account of the divisions
here that will have tendency to reduce
the vote on the national ticket. | should
not be surprised if the popular vote in
the city of New York on the 9th of No
vember will reach 270,000, making it an
utter impOSSibility for the Republicans
to poll more than from 10000 to 100000
at the very maximum, while a few will
be given for the Prohibition candidate,
and some will be scattering, and
the balance will be the Demo-
cratic majority, which, l think,
YOU will find on the night
of election will exceed the figures
have named. Any of our friends out
side of the city who have the least ap-
prehension i'll regard to the result will
have their fears allayed by a considera-
ton of the facts l have presented.
There
WILL BE NO TRADING
on the national or state tickets, and
none of the dissensions on local candi-
dates will in any way affect the national
and state tickets.
With reference to the vote of the
Brooklyn district, Attorney Ridgeway
said this evening that the plurality for
Cleveland and Thurman in that city
would certainly exceed 2O.0dO. The
developments of the last few days have
led to an increase in the estimate Of
Cleveland's plurality to 100000. The
calculation is based upon careful
reports of counties made up
by election districts and the
personal canvass throughout the
state is being conducted with unusual
thoroughneSs. A careful examination
of the affairs of the Business Mems
Cleveland association made to-day,
shows there are tWenty-three clubs
actively at work, and that by actual
count there are twice as many
New York business men now
enrolled as supporters of Cleve-
land for the election of 1883
