thority thar large amount OF money,
which hnd been laid aside for use iu New

turned over To the Indiana account. The

large lot of K publican leaders from the

money. After their interviews with Mr.

important facts is that the registration
for 1892, below Fortieth street, or in that
portion of the city where the Democrats
are especially strong, Is 1891 less than it
was in 1883. Above Fortieth street, the
registration this year stands 1888,
against l22,27+, an increase of 27Oi9, or
22.l2 per cent
"The entire increase In registration,
therefore, is above Eorteth street. Com
pairing the registration by assembly dis
tricts as at present constituted, with the
total vote cast in 1891 in these districts,
the fact appears that in the districts cast
ing heavy Democratic najorities the in
crease Of the registration over the vote
cast is about % per cent, while the in
crease in districts giving a small Demo-
crat or Republican plurality is about 81
per cent. The first ten assembly districts
OF this city are heavily Democratic. their
majorities ranging on the vote cast in 1891
from 300 to 5000. In those districts the
percentage of increase of registration
this year over the vote cast i'm
1891 is only 2296 per cent. The
Eleventh assembly district IL n Republi-
can district. There the increase is ~ per
cent. The Twcnty-third district is Re
publican di>tr,ct There the increase Ia
81 per cent The Twenty-seventh district
Is slightly Democratic, but 1t contains an
enormous Republican vote. There the in
crease l. 81 per cent The Twenty-eighth
district is also slightly Democratic, but
there, too, the Republican vote is heavy.
Tht increase there is 81 per cent. The
sum and substance of all this ~ that in
those paris of the city where the Repub-
lcaus are strong registration il very
heany. showing large increases over the
tota vote cast last year, while in the
betvy Democratic districts the registra-
ton is low, showing n small increase over
la y,ar's vote.
