pAETs OF THE STATE.
FROM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE IH'SoNs
Albany. oct. oe-Lcading Democrats here arc much
| disturbed In mind by the figures respecting tho
registration Of voters In the cities OF the state winch
were printed In to-dsy's newspapers. Inose nsurcs
show that tho Republican voters OF New-York and
nrookyn have registered larger proportion OF the
,otsI vote OF those cities than the Democrats have
rcpiaered. and that in the interior cities Of the
STATE also tho Democratic party has suffered In
similar manner.
;overnor HILL especially. will be annoyed by the
registration figures. He is anxious that Tsmmany
Hall should elect Hugh J. Grant I'd mayor OF Now
York. and. therefore, for tho past month has been
usnc a, his erest influence among the Democrats Of
New.york 10 prevent the County Democracy from run
ming a candidate Of Its own for Mayor. Politicians
believe that Tammany Hall secured the Governors
aid BY promising to support him for President In the
Democratic National Convention Of 1892 But tho
County Democracy belongs to the Grover Cleve-
land wing Of the Democratic party. and there
fore, naturally, when 1t was perceived tha
MFR. Hill was favoring Tammany Hall. the
County Democrats were the moro persistent In
their determination to nominate q Cleveland Demo-
crat for Mayor. Mr. scot's nomination by them FOL
lowed and now that the large registration OF the he
publlcans and County Democrats supporting him mas
been revealed the friends OF Mr. I'LL are correspond
