very encouraging, and the Committees,

spirits regarding the vote Of the State.
The registration in the cities Is very
large-much larger than ever before
aud that is always good sign In New
York. think the increase In New YORK
City the first TWO days OF registration
was twenty-four thousand over the
highest previous record for the same
time. The New York State Committee,
which is thoroughly 10 touch with the
situation, is entirely satisfied that the
vote of the State will be cast for Cieve-
land In fact, they have no
doubt of it, and all the indl-
cations justify their confidence,
Not even the liberal use Of Repuo-
llcan money-aud they are said to be
prepared to use it liberally-can keep
down the Democratic majority. The
Democratic meetings everywhere have
been immense, and have been attended
by large numbers OF Republicans.

at Huntlngton-with Nelson Smith,
who is the Chairman Of the Tammany
Committee OF Three Thousand. In
closing his speech, Mr., Saith said he
would be keenly disappointed II New
York city didn't give $4,000 for Cleve-
land, and added that Tammany was do
ing its best, and that the vote OF the
city would show it. The last speech |
made was from the stage OF the Critic
rion Theatre, in Brooklyn, to as intel
ligent an audience as could be gath
cred In that city. The meeting
was presided over by e. M. Jor-
dan, who was President Clevean DIS
Secretary of the Treasury after the
death OF Manning. The meeting was
largely made up Of the Anti-Snapper
element, and they were most enthusi-
astic for Cleveland. In my address |

country and even the eyes Of the world,
were upon New York in this campaign
that il held the result in it's hand, and
that the Democracy Of the cities ought
to give at least $4,000 majority for the
ticket. There was the greatest en-
thusiasm. These incidents show that
both Tammany and Mr.. Hills old OPP
ponents are enthusiastically in line"

Colonel?"

aware and Shenango counties, and had
large audiences-a very large one in
one place where, but four days before,
Mr.. Dennison, a noted Republican
speaker, addressed but few dozen
voters. At another place l was told
half the audience was made up of Re-
publicans, and when the meeting was

the speaker, aud the entire audience,
Republicans as well as Democrats, stood

as it is in the citieS?"
liam told that in the upper counties
it is not so large, but still that section
is regarded as all right by the Demo
cratic Committee. Republicans are
charged with the use of money, aud the
New York papers have got hold of let

are roasting him lively. don't believe
the Republicans will come down to the
river with over 10000 majority, while
many look for the cities TO give from
