a sense of the importance of the questions
in this Presidential campaign. The to-
tai of the registration Of the first two DAYS
in 1884 was 1856 and this year 1t
amounts to 1856, 1872. making an increase
OF 34,276. With due allowance to the
increase OF population, the figures, con-
vey an assurance of a more general pre-
p lration for the exercise OF the elec-
tive franchise, than has been known IN
the previous political history OF the
United States.
The excitement OF the local fight has,
no doubt, something to do with this
rousing of the voting element to action.
The clans are buckling on their armor
and marshaling under the banners that
claim their allegiance and invite their
support. The recruiting officers OF the
factions are busily engaged in seeking
reinforcement of the ranks OF their re-
spective organizations. There are keen
partisans on duty on either side drum
ming up recruits, looking after the lag
CARDS, inspiring the lukewarm and with
persuasion, argument or whatever other
inducement may be available, prevailing
upon the Indifferent to arm for the strug
gle by qualifying for the right to WELD
ballot. The several causes have pro-
duced the effect Of popular uprising, 80
to say, to fulfill the duty of registration
as necessary step to the discharge of
that highest duty, the enjoyment Of that
most precious privilege of American
citizenship, the exercise of the elective
franchise.
The Republicans, of course, will have
a part of the increased vote, but as the
city is overwhelmingly Democratic, and
since the last Presidential election has
been growing in its Democracy, a great
deal the greater number of the voters in
excess OF the record of 1884 will go to
swell the Democratic majority. Whether
Tammany or the Counties" get the
benefit of this it will be a gain for the
Democratic National and State tickets.
Not only by reasoning, but by experience,
it has been fully demonstrated that a
fight of this city's Democratic organic
ations for the local offices swells the fig
ures total of the Democratic vote. Gov
ernor Hill, Secretary Whitney, and other
prominent Democrats have in their
speeches Of this campaign heartily in
dorsed.the views OF the Daily Ne,cs upon
this subject.
Continue, therefore, Democrats OF this
Guy, your pTepaTaClOnS LOT the culmln-
alton Of the conflict. If you have not
yet registered, look at the vast array OF
those that have been before you in the
good work, and be resolute in your pur-
pose to register next time. Vote honest
ly for whichever of the local Democratic
organizations you may be identified with,
but have always in view the paramount
obligation of loyalty to the Democratic
National and State tickets IN. Y.

stood their ground for an instant to take in
the effect of the fluffy light hair, the big gray
eyes and the trim figure in a dark tailor

ashamed of the curiosity, for people pay
more than an average degree of difference to
the charming English actress on the street.
The movement was so sudden that the
tiniest of girl peddlers, a little creature not
over or 8 years old, with handful of bright
colored whips, was thrown down. She had
been standing just on the curb, and but for

man-of the Bob Hilliard rather than the
Berry Wall type, however-who split very

pulled of the torn glove-it was the one she
had touched-and slowed it away in pocket

treasured memento, staring after the carriage
like one in dream. He looked down at the
flowers she had left him almost incredu-

across his forehead to reassure himself he was
not living in fairyland, and added some good
sized silver bits, by way OF getting down to
