TEsT-Dr MoCRATIC DETECTION.
IT.. c.uu,lcn which was practically closed last
evening in BROOKLYN has possessed some rcmarhaoic
features and the outcome Of the voting on TUESDAY
Will attract wide-sp ead attention. The aeuNity vi
Republicans has been cumulative and mas ueVoiop0u
in many directions There have been gca' "uih'0'
OF meetings and paradcs, which have scrVcu 10 s"'u
late the voters Of the party and have oeen III "" n'
contrast with tho apparent apathy OF the Democr@s'
Tho rrcat Renublcan mass-meetings have been aa-
DRESSED By such speakers Blaine, Depew, hh'er,
Mckinley Inlcrsuu and Fairchih, and the largest
buildings In the city proved wholly lhaaequa'o ~ w
the people who wanted 20 listen. Two great paranS'
and scores OF smaller have afforded an oue' i'
much enthusiasm Much campaign Hiers'uie' es
peciay relating to tie tariff, has been ulsscnia'
and has educated many voters to correct apprec'a'H
of the issue
Tho ovcrnasterInr interest the election has drawn
ont 90 900 more voters to register than In 1904 i'
great unknown quantity is q puzzle 10 unoso W.
would deduce the future from tho past pu' INC '"
lions are strong that the growth IN popui""o" A
been largely Republican. The Introduction Oh rsp'a
,r,ns,, has bu.It up tho outlying wards, In one OK
which alone there are over 10000 voters, ana 'ne
majority Of thu new residents own their own homes
and Will vote for protection.
Tho strictly Democratic wards have shown little IN
crease. Much of tho Democratic majority Vi ~
IA 900 in 1884 in Brooklyn due % the WORK ..
Mfr Beecher which have been lacking this year. In
1885 Governor Hill only had 5000 plurality in the
city, and In 1887 Cooks plurality for secretary VI
State was about the same showing that tniS 10 uio
normal Democratic plurality. 1t Is not likely 70 20
increased this year. Last year tho towns OF hins1
County gave 1900 Democratic plurality, result
that will be altered by the detection of John I. NC
Kane in Gravesend this year, so that 1t Is not at all
likely that the Democrats Will have more
than 1000 plurality in the county Enthusiastic
Republicans figure the result even lower. ana say tha
tho tidal wave of Republlcansm VIII sweep the Dei
ocratlc plurality nearly out Of sight This result WI"
be affected to a considerable degree by the work Oh
the Homo and Country Protective brotherhood among
laboriug men 1t Is claimed that 5000 votes VIII be
won over TO RepublIcanism by It. The decided OPP
position of many Democrats to Governor Hill Will lose
many votes for him. with corresponding gain to " ar
ner Miller The Governors vote will run behind that
for President.
CHANCES OF THE LOCAL TICKET.
In tho loo al canddature the Republicans are making
a strong fight in Brooklyn Inspired by the success
OF Sheriff Rhnehart last year. IL IS hoped to eject inc
Register County Clerk and County Treasurer on inc
Republican ticket The damaging record OF Alderman
Kane, and his lack OF friendly relations with boss
Mclaughlin will conspre to lose for him many votes
from both the better ard worse elements Of the Dem
ocratlc party for Register The unsavory record OK
County Treasurer Adams, who indicted for ballot
box stufnc few years ago, ought to serve to defeat
his aspirations to remain in Office. For Congress inc
| Republicans have splendid opportunity to elect
william C. Wallace and DR.. Henry csse, II they WORK
| unitedly Mr. Walace's manly and Straightforward
course has made him votes wherever he has prose-
cutcd his canvass in the lid District, and on the
Protection issue alone he should have rouslng ma
| iorty over W. j. Coombs. The latter has rot dared
to say anything about his opposition to Governor hln
since the Democrats took him up in the hope of using
! him 10 defeat Mr. Wallace.
In the With District Dr. Hesses prospects OF election
arr increased By the decision OF John j. Clancy tho
