NEW YORK, Oct. yesterdays
great parade has continued to be the
most interesting political topic through
out the city, all accounts agreeing in
rating the demonstration as most Won
derful i'll view OF the extremely unpro-
p.tiOuS weather, and in recognizing its
significance as proof of an immense
Cleveland vote in New York. About
the number of participants the
facts are these: The enrolled
membership of the Business Mems
Cleveland and Thurman clubs aggre-
gated on Friday night $1,000 ready to
parade, but there was 4 great rush to
join, and had Saturday been fair day,
the ranks would have been swollen by
many thousands of new members, and
the aggregate of paTadeTS would GER
tainly have been brought up to more
than 1900. But the driving storm pre-
vented recruiting and also kept away
from the meeting places many members
of the various clubs to whom it was
physically impossible to undertake the
long march in the rain. There reported,
however, for the parade. 10000 men.
Of this nunber Il percentage proved
unable to continue the march,
so that on passing the re-
viewing stand at The Worth mOnu-
ment there were 5000 men in the col
umn. Three separate counts were made
at points near the stand, and all sub
Stantially agreed upon that figure. The
Of Nfa,-n,s kIaK-pr
Hewitt and Sheriff Grant and the Shak-
ing of hands between the two opposing
Democratic candidates was an incident
which was managed with admirable
tact by the president, and the frankneSS
and
ENTIRE CORDIAIITY
on the part of both Hewitt and Grant
give universal satisfaction to the Demo-
erals. because it is known that both the
mayor and eX-mayOr went to the dem
OnstratiOn for the express purpose of
showing TO the country that there was
no shade of disSensiOn or lukewarmness
on the part of any wing or section of the
Democratic party toward the national
nominees. The Republicans are dumb
f, u ldcd at the extent and effect of the
great display. and freely admit that it
upSets all their calculations as to the
probable vote of New York On presi-
dent. Bets that C!eveland's plurality
in the town would not be less than
70,;O0 were offered last night without
takers. and Democratic encouragement
and Republican discouragement were
increased after midnight, when the full
t. stratiOn figures became known, and
showed tile enormous total Of
2s6,557 recorded, 10 be cast on
week from Tuesday, exceeding
the registration of 1854 by nearly $4,000.
This total is not only without parallel
in New York, but surpasSes all careful
and reasonable calculations. Allowing
the usual falling off, about per cent in
the vote, the registration of 1854 having
been 240,996 and the vote go, 145, it is
Ger ain that the total vote of this year
on presidential electors will not be less
than 273,0C0, and it is far more likely, in
view of
TIE POPULAR INTEREST
taken by the people in this years con-
test, that it will reach 275.COO. Allow
ing the Republicans even their extrava-
giant claim of 100000 there remains to
be accounted for 175,00O votes. and
there is not the slightest reason to be-
heve the scattering vote of the city will
this year exceed 3.O0G. By these con-
SerVative figures it is evident that
in allowing to the Republicans all
they pretend to hope TO have, Cleve-
lands plurality in the city will
not go below 10000. To add for Kings.
Richmond. Queens and Suffolk an ad-
ditional plurality of $4,000 is 4 moderate
estimate in view of the great registra-
ton in Brooklyn, and the increase Of
population in Queens, Richmond and
Suffolk, the country may therefore
depend on at least 100000 Demo-
cratic plurality to meet whatever
advantage the Republican nsminee may
bring down to the New York county
line. Neither at national nor at state
Democratic headquarters is more than
$1,000 Republican plurality in the state
thought probable, but even should it 90
to GO,O0O there will still remain the sat
isfactory result Of
10000 PLURALITY
for Cleveland in his state. There are
many cautious and experienced men
who, watching the indications here,
such as the utter breakdown of the
Republican plan of campaign on the
main issues of the contest, and the des-
peratiOn that induces resort to
the yilest and most dangerous
measures, who expect a far different
result from this, and, in fact, look for
a tidal wave that will partake of the
character of the election of 1852. Alb
sOiutely the only hope of the Republi-
cans was in the Blaine-Sackviile-M Muir
Gibson trick, and that has fallen worse
than fiat here, because everybody is
laughing at tine folly of depending on
such a dodge, except a good many Irish
Americans, who are extremely indig-
nant at the conduct of the Republican
managers who continually attempt
to make stalking horse of th:er patri-
otic devotion 10 their native land. There
were a large number of arrests for at
tempted false registration yesterday,
and to-day John l. Davenport attempted
one on his own account, in the futile
hopa Of turning the torrent of public
indignation away from the registration
conspirators. The person he arrested
was
A CUSTOM HOUSE CLERK,
whose family lives in New jersey but
who. having a room in New York, con-
sidered himself entitled TO q vote here.
