New York. October 31.-Now that
registration for this State has beer COM
pleted, Democrats and Republicans are
busy figuring out their chances of vie
tory or defeat. The Democratic view
OF the situation may be shown by the
following taken from the Times:
The best promise of Democratic success
in this State is found In the registration in
this city of 800, 49, 1t is about ~ 600 heav-
Ter tnan ever before. IL is decidedly
Democratic registration, the gains are ali
Democratic, the increases are all Repuoh-
cans. IL is a great registra ton for Cleye-
land and Stevenson. All the Democratic
managers are sincerely satisfied with 1t.
They know what 10 means, because they
know how tue registration was worked for
by the Democrats, and that 1t is fully up 10
their private estimates Of what 1T should
De-
Barring the so-called Republican dis
tricts, the party is registered 10 the full
limit. One voter in every five OF popula-
ton is as the census calls for; one voter in
six is nearer the facts in a city like this.
But take il at one vote in five, eliminate the
Republican decreases and II appears that
the Democratic vote must certainly be reg
istered up 10 the full limit. The Republi-
can reserve vote has not come out The
Republican managers know il and they are
squIrming around for
"FAKEn EXPLANATIONS
Of the registration that will encourage Re
publican workers in the States that are
doubtful, watch is not the case with New
York State. which is Democratic.
In New York and Brooklyn the
registration this year is in
round numbers about $4,000 more than it
was in 1855 More than two-thirdS of this
increase concededly goes to the Democrats.
The indications are that the increase in
the number of Democrats itself would add
about 1000 voters TO the Democratic plu-
rality south of the north boundary line Of
the city. 1.-The net Cleveland plurality in
1855 south Of Westchester county was 75,-
052, and the last conservative estimates that
il is possible to make on the basis furnished
by the registration figures shows that
Cleveland will not receive less than 81, 900
plurality below the same line
The best Republican boast is that Mr..
Harrison will come down to the northern
boundary line with his plurality Of 1883,
which was $4,000 OF course, no shrewd
Republican politician believes that Harri-
son will come down with any such figures
this year. They know he will not and
they say as much when they are not talk
ing for pU 0lication. The Republican Jig is
I'D in this STATE The New York City reg
istratiOn shows that
The reapporti0Hment has rendered 1t
impossible to make an analytical compar-
ison OF the registration this yeay, district
Dy district. This year New York city has
thirty Assembly districts; in 1888 and last
year, for that matter, there were but
tWenty-four. The election districts are
not the same, aud Rven q comparison made
on q basis OF the election districts would be
of no value. But the new Twenty ninth
aRd Thirtieth Assembly districts comprise
exactly the same territory as was COM
prised last Presidential year in the old
Twenty-fourth Assembly district, and the
district furnishes an excellent example,
good 70 show that the increase in registra-
ton is all
DUE To DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
In 1888 the registration in this territory
was 1913 This year it is 17,74S, gain of
4, AS in a territory that is overwhelmingly
Democratic, and which gave Mr. Flower a
plurality of S,006 votes last year in the
GubernatOrial contest. The great Demo
cratic vote comes largely from the districts
that are on the river sides Of the city, and
in these districts the increases have been
large, but are Democratic.
The Republican view may be shown
by the following taken from the Tribune:
The registration in this city and through
out the State was completed on Saturday
It is regarded by the Republican leaders
with complete satisfaction. A careful ex.
animation of the returns not only from
New York, Kings county and the neighbor-
hood Of the city but from the smaller cities
aud rural districts so far as heard from,
which was made yesterday al Republican
State headquarters, assured Chairman
Hackett and his associates in campaign
work the Republicans are certain of
carrying the state for Harrison and Reid
The STATE of New York can be lost TO the
only by the occurrence of an
unfortunate contingency, and this is by no
means likely in canvass like this.
The registration OF this city is looked
upon as sufficiently favorable to the Re-
pulicans. The Democrats have all along
predicted big registration of anywhere
from $4,000 TO $4,000 this latter was Mr..
Cookers tgure) upon which they could
predicate plurality for Mr.. Cleveland OF
20, coo 10 $4,000. The normal increse would
have brought it 10 O,OOO, but the actual
is 299.S33, a heavy drop in the
Democratic prophesies.
The fall OF from the registered vote on
election day may be estimated at Z per cent
which would be &c., ISIS and leave ass 900 in
round numbers for the polled vote Of the
