WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW.
REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT.

FRIENDS OF GOOD GOVERNMENT GREATLY En-
Outraged BY THE cITY's REGISTRATION.
The Republicans have entered upon the last week OF
the canvass with success practically assured ii any
thing was needed inspire the friends OF MT fasseO
with the confidence OF complete triumph, that encouf
agcfent is found In tine figures of this cys regstra
ton The total for the four days OF 1891 IS "0l $40
Tho largest which ever was made in New-York with
the sole exception of the Presidential year OF 1885, IL
Is nearly 81 900 than that Of the hoy contested
YEAR of 1884 when Blaine and Cleveland were the OPP
posing candidates. and comes within 1900 OF the total
vote polled by Democrats, Republicans. Labor men,
Proibitioniss and Socialists in this city at the last
election for President
This large registration is encouraging to Republicans
because it shows that the people aroused and are
determined this year TO give tsdeathbow to Tammany
Hall and clear the way for honest government In the
city ana the State. The difference between the num-
Der Of registered and the number OF votes cast
ia usually about l-e per cent. Last year the per
centage Of registered voters who failed to vote was
unusually large and reached about per cent. When
the intense interest which has been manifested in this
election is considered il does not seem probable that
the percentage OF absentees, voluntary and Involuntary
from the polls on Tuesday Of next week will reach
per cent. This would place the total vote for OoV
crnor at about 24s,oO0 Before dividing this vote be-
tween Mr. Fassett and Mr.. Flower the probable num-
Der Of ballots which Will be cast by the
Socialists and Prohioltionists must DO deducted
Last year tho votes given to candidates 1o
Mayor Of New-York )ther than those cast for Grant
and Scott, aggregated 6,2e2 Estimating 5000 1or
the scattering this year would leave $4,000 to
be given to the Republican and Tammany candidates
for Governor.
Mr. Flowers rost sanguins friends admit that he
must get majority Of $4,000 IN NewYork In order
to win. Some Of the Tammany mathemstcians have
hoen unable to pun him through unless he gets 10000
over Mr.. Fassett in this city. How he can get ooooo
under the present registration 1t will be extremely
difficult for tho Smartest Of them to show Under
existing conditions, Mr. Fassetts vote In New-fork
cannot fall short Of 10000. 1t Is far more likely 10
reach 100 ooo and not few wellinformed politicians
who are not Republicans, either place 1t at much
higher figure some as high as l1o,ooo votes 10
obtain 20, 600 majority in New York, Mr. Flower must
come within 5000 OF the votes cast for Grover
Cleveland in 1885, registration OF 2so,oo7' CleVe
lands vote in that year was 162,735 Flowers vote
this year is not likely to come within 30 900 Of Cleve
lands. on the other hand, the most conservative
men OF both parties who are acquainted
with the state Of the canvass north OF The
Harlem River have estimated Mr.. Fassetts plural
ity above that historical boundary at not less Than
So OoO The most liberal estimates for Mr.. Flower in
Kings County do make his plurality there at more
than 10000 Should he succeed therefore, in getting
IS 900 plurality in this city, which is utterly impos
.ible, he is without any question beaten man.
careful inspection of the votes registered In the
various districts can only serve to strengthen the APP
parent certainty OF Mr. Fassetts election. In the
lower parts Of the city there is large falling off from
the registration OF 1888. This mean only one
thng-a reduction in the vote that will be cast for Mr.
Flower The Republicans in the districts usually
carried by them proportonately hold their own ex-
tremeIy well. The immense preparations OF the
voters in the upper part of the city, where the RepuD
ican and antiTammany strength Is rapidly on the
increase show that the people, ire

alert and will place their seal Of condemnation
AGAINST Tammany In unmistakable tones. The way
in which the With and Xth districts foot up In the
lists BODIES not good for Senator Roesch, while the
totals of the districts included In the With Senate
