LOTS OF POLITICAL MEETINGS NOW

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Republican
National Committee gave out this afternoon
an analysis of the registry lists of this city.
After careful review of the situation they
have reached the conclusion that the Demo-
cratic vote will reach 10000, or $50 per
cent of the full vote, which is estimated at
291, 900, and they will then have plurality
of 55,0OU, which is the most they can in any
degree of reason expect.
The ANALYSIS of the registery lists of the
City of New York says in part: 'One of the
most important facts is that the registra-
tion for 1892 below Fortieth street, or in
that part of the town where the Democrats
are specially strong, is 3,601 less than it
was in 1885, Above Fortieth street the
registration this year stands 149, 1863.
against 122, 274, an increase of 27,049, or
2212 per cent The entire increase in regis
tration, therefore, is above Fortieth street.
Why the Republicans Are Confident.
"Comparing the registrati by Assembly
districts as at present constituted with the
total vote cast in 1891 in these districts, the
fact appears that in the districts casting
heavy Democratic majorities the increase Of
the registration over the vote cast is about
% per cent, while the increase in districts
giving a small Democratic or Republican
plurality is about 81 per cent.
"On the basis of the natural increase over
the registration of 1888 there should now
be, on the registry lists of this city, 342, 900
names, but there are only 309, $50, and the
loss lies in the Democratic districts In
those districts, however, there has been an
enormous amount of false and illegal regis
tratioD."
At both headquarters the absorbing
question of the hour is arithmetic Fig
ures of all kinds are under discussion, and
chiefly to-day, those of New York. At
Democratic headquarters the managers
nave decided that the State will be carried
for Cleveland by 0OO0-this upon the
theory that the Republican majority above
the city will not exceed $1,000 and that
Democrats will carry to the Westchester
line majority of 1G5, 900.
The Necessity of a Full Vote.
These figures 60 upon the theory that
5ull vote will be polled and no effort spared
TO see that there are no laggards
Some interesting figuring is being done
upon the question as to which party will
suffer the most from the uninterested, and
Democratic managers figure it that the
Republicans will be the greatest losers
In the country districts In the 80
cities of the State the Albany ArgaS gives
the total registration of 766, lis against
664, ,365 last year. The 80 cities outside of
New York and Brooklyn show an increase
sver last year of SO, 600. Last year these 80
cities gave net Democratic majority of
10000. -Four years ago the net Republican
majority was 5000.

Governor, six out of seven Congressman be

Doesn't Look Much Like Apathy.
As an evidence of the so-called lack of
enthusiasm, it was stated to-day at head
quarters that during the present week in
this State there will be over 3, 700 Repub-
lcan meetings held
Regarding the general prosperity of the
country, NJ. L. Davis, of Dansville, n. Y,
said: "a very large part of the lands and
village and city lots and building in
everyone of the States have always
been held under land contracts
or under mortgage for purchase money, or
for money hired to buy other lands or for
money borrowed for business or specula-
ttion. L have been engaged in the land and
loan business for over 80 years, and there
has never been time when a larger per,
centage of the land, village aud city prop
erty in the United States was SO entirely
tree and clear of any incumbrance as in this
year OF 1892. In no country on earth do 30
many of the people own the farms they live
on aud the houses they occupy"
