New YORK, Oct. 23.-The Brooklyn
registration closed at so late an hour
tonight Q1 p. m.) that the figures will
not be tabulated in time for use before
tomorrow; but. Notwithstanding the
rainy day, the registration places were
crowded at all hours, and it is evident
that the record made surpasses both
precedent and anticipation. As in New
York, the increase will of course tell in
favor OF the Democrats, and a Democratic
plurality of not less than %, 900 is to
be relied on. United States Marshal
Mac Mahon was spoken to to-day rela-
tive to the reports of the Republican
schemes to manipulate the elections
IN the interests of the minority party.
He said that the whole business was
nothing more than Chinese thunder.
That not only from his knowl-
edge of the United States
laws and the method of their
enforcement, but also from acquaintance
with the state statutes and those whose
duty it was to compel obedience to them.
he was quite sure that the election i'm
this city would be full, free and fair;
that any attempts at violation of law
would be punished, and their success
prevented. The city papers are filled
with epigram and ridicule at the eX-
pense of the Republican committee
men and their absurd nonsense about
the canvasses that have been made in
their own Imagination only. HON. Will.
/ Scott of tbn
cratic headquarters this evening, and
took occasion to criticlse the most re-
cent statement of Mr.. Blaine about the
treasury deposits i'll the national banks.
He said that no one could think that
the originators of the
PRESENT SUB-TREASURY SYSTEM
conceived the idea that the people could
be taxed to such an extent as to draw
surplus of from $100,000,000 to $500, ,0OO,-
600 from the business and circulating
medium of the country. In fact So, ,0OO,-
600 was estimated as the maxium
sum that would at any time
accumulate in excess of current
liabilities. In the correction of Mr..
Blaine'S mispresentatiOns is the
course of a comparison instituted by
him between the action of our govern
ment and that of England and France
says: 'Mr. Blaine compares. the finan-
cial policy of our government with that
of England and France, and he does it
in such way as to show that he is
either ignorant of the subject,
or that he is treating it with
willful misrepresentation The bank Of
England is purely private cooperation.
The government of Great Britain has
no more to do with it than it has with
any other corporation chartered by and
under the authority of its parliament.
The Bank of France is also private
corporation, and the French government
has no interest in it. The Bank of Eng
land is the financial agent of the
English government, as l understand
the system, the revenues as collected
are daily deposited in the bank without
interest or security, so that no part of
the taxes collected in England is ever
withdrawn from the
CHANNELS OF TRADE
and commerce. 1t is left where some
one can borrow it if the government
has no use for it. The Bank
of France is also the financial
agent of the French government and
the revenues of France are deposited
in it and withdrawn from it as in Eng
land. Neither the Bank of England
nor the Bank of France is required to
deposit government securities for any
balances due. There are no such banks
in the United States as the Bank of
England and the Bank of France. The
Democratic party, during the policy of
Andrew Jackson, settled the question
finally and forever that this government
should never create nor permit the
growth of a great monster bank
rh hnonpnn
erful than the government it.
self. Wherein, then, does the
policy adopted by the secretary of the
treasury in making the deposits he has
in the national banks differ from the
system of government deposits existing
not only in England and France to-day,
but also in Germany. This is espe-
cially true when all the national banks,
regardless of the political creeds Of
their officers, have been
TREATED ALIKE.
In my city the officers of the largest
national bank, both as regards capital
and deposits, are Democratic, and they
neither have nor could get government
deposits, because the quota assigned to
that locality had been filled. Two or
three national banks whose officers
are Republicans, have such deposits,
and yet the Democrats do not claim
that these Republican banks are
robbing the government. 1t is only Mr..
Blaine who claims this, and surely he
ought to know the question. AS to the
of the surplus is another
subject, and will not consider it now.''
Edwin f. Gould has to-day laid before
the public sworn statement regarding
the action of Local Assembly 2212,
X. of L.. indianapolis, by which
at meeting composed of only four
persons, Mr.. Gould's course in opposi-
tion to Harrison was discussed. Mr..
Gould now swears that there is no truth
in the statement that he at any time ex-
pressed an opinion favorable to Harri-
son, and he calls attention to the fact
that neither eX-Gov. Porter, who was
the
DEFENDER OF THE STRIKERS,
whom Harrison prosecuted. nor ex-
Mayor Goblin, leading Republican.
who was mayor of indianapolis at the
time Of the strike. corOrborates Harri-
sons side of the story. He further tes-
titles that he was duly and properly
by d. A. 106, of the Knights
Of Labor, to write the letter to local
assembly 263 and to attach the seal of
the order as secretary of that body.
He adds that the pretended local
2,2l2 is no longer i'll existence,
and has not held lawful meeting since
Oct. 4. In conclusion Mr.. Gould de- :
clareS that the resolution he refuteS is
simply the work OF forgars. The gas
fixture makers of New York and
have organized Cleveland,

quarters at Arlington hall. There are
