PROSPECTS IN BROOKLYN.
A BRIGHT REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.
THE INCREASED, REGISTRATION MORE THAN
LIKELY TO FAVOR PROTECTION

THE INCREASED REGISTRATION MORE THAN
LIKELY TO FAVOR PROTECTION.
Every Indication points to a much larger Republican
vote tomorrow In Brooklyn than ever before
cast in that city, and corfe spending reduction In
the Democratic plurality The campaign mas bcsn
conducted In mastery manner and from the fist
great mass meeting addressed BY Warner Miller In
September 10 the huge audience which gathered on
saturday to hear Mr.. Blaine interest has not been
allowed TO Gag, AMI the popular heart has pecn
fired as never before. The work OF the
Executive, Campaign and Finance Committees
Of the Republican party has been ably supplemented
by the energetic efforts of the Young Republican
Club.
This club took in hand first the sending Of pro-
lection literature along the water mont ana 10 lac
tories, and afterward performed the great task OF
sending full Of ballots to every one Of the 10000
voters the tickets being supplied by the Campaign
Committee The club also hired the Rink and held
half dozen mass meetings In II and one In the
Academy OF Music, where Chauncey NJ Depew spoke
Such outpourings of the people to hear Republican
oratory were seldom before and contrasted
favoraby with the attendance at Democratic meetings
The campaign has been conducted quietly by the
Democrats, and evident reliance has been placed
upon tho power of Office holders and of money
deal OF the latter spent in getting up the nna
parade Saturday night but in the opinion OF com
petent observers the showing was not equal to That
in front OF Holy Trinity Church, only thinly
occupied by party leaders, and percepble degree
OF GOODNESS surrounded Mayor Chaplin. He responded
Jelly to the occasional greetings Of the passing throng
which after midnight degcnerated into rabble 1t
daylight when force of men tore down the
stand 10 get of the way for the morning service
In DR.. Halls church.
The Republicans have been so active In ferrettlng
out false registration that the Democrats have taken
alarm and have attempted TO Offset 1t by cry of fraud
on the part of Republicans but 1t has deceived no
The effort to show that John y Mckanc, who
has given up the support of the Democratic ticket on
account of the treatment he has received at the hands
or Boss" Mclaughlin and his gang is connected
with false registration in Gravesend has proved a
nat failure. District Attorney Ridgway con-
fesscd privately that the arrests were made
with the hope Of soaring voters IN
the town. Boss Mclaughlin has evidently become
frightened over the possible accession Of Democratic
voters to the Republican ranks and has gone so far
parade on Saturday night to go 10 the polls IN telf
uniforms and see that the ballot IS properly pro
teced
