Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-A secret meeting
of the Chairmen of the Republican
County Committees of the State, called
by Chairman Hackett of the Republican
State Committee, was held this afternoon.
Forty-six of the sixty counties were rep
resented. The registration of Republi-
can voters was considered at length, and
it is said most of the Chairmen felt
obliged to say they were greatly disap-
pointed by the result Of the first days
registration in the rural districts, the
Democrats having made much larger
registration than the Republicans. They
We're earnestly appealed to by Warner
Miller, Platt, Secretary h. McComas and
Senator Sherman to redouble their efforts
for full registration.
ENCOURAGING LETTERS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Some very en-
couraging letters are being received at
the White House concerning the political
outlook. Voluntary reports of the Situa-
ton in all the important States are con-
stantly coming in from prominent politi-
clans, who are keeping up with the pub
lie sentiment and looking into things,
not for the purpose of deceiving them
selves with false hopes, but with the idea
have been received none has given any
reason for discouragement. They show
what has been apparent to everyone, that
there is seeming apathy among the peo-
ple but they indicate that there is no rea-
son for the Republicans to be uneasy
about this whatever.
Letters from Representative Mason and
others III Illinois state that there is no
reason for the Republicans to be anxious
about that State. Figures are given and
good authorities are quoted to show that
there is not even a rainbow for Mr..
Dickinson TO chase in that State.
The evidences are entirely satisfactory
to the Republicans that the German
Iutherans are going to support the Re-
from Wisconsin.
The letters from Indiana are very en-
couraging. The Democratic meetings in
that State are not being well attended and
the Republicans are in good order and
confident.
I ANYTHING TO BEAT THE REPUBLICANS.
| DETROIT, Oct. Io.-The Democrats have
| gone into combination with the Popu-
/ lists on Legislative candidates, to control,
/ II possible, the choice OF United States

! have Endorsed each others nominations
| IN twenty-sIx cases SO tar, and the begis-
| latlVe nominations are not all made yet.
The understanding is. that where Popu-
list candidates are first named, as they
| have been in most of the districts, they
shall be at liberty TO vote, as their first
| choice, Tor Eugene II. Belden for United
States Senator. When his candidacy be-
comes hopeless, they are then TO support
/ the Democratic candidate, who will proba-
4 bly, be Governor Winans.
