The Falling on Of the Democratic Registra-
ton Commented Upon.
Correspondence of The Evening Star.
New YORK, October 81, 1892.
A careful analysis of the registration in New
York shows that it fell 20, 900 below Cookers
promise in New York city and several thousand
below the registration OF four years ago in
Troy and Albany, where Murphy reigns gu
preme in the democratic ranks. This leads to
an inquiry to whether Murphy and Croker
are not really working to show democrats that
they we're night when they ssid at Chicago that
Cleveland could not carry New York. The fact
that in two democratic cities, where Murphy is
personally in command, the registration actually
fell of, and that in New York, where Croker is
in command it fell 20 600 below his promise,
strengthens the belief. Croker has already ac-
complished his purpose of making the success
Of his city and county ticket sure by forcing
the other ticket out Of the field.
The democratic leaders do not admit that
this falling of is IN occasion for alarm.
Chairman Dickinson has returned and long
consultation was held at democratic head
quarters today. The peculiar fact was observed
that Senator German did not attend this meet
ing. So long as Dickinson was absent Mr.. Cor
man was pretty sctivein work Observation-Disclosures
but when Dickinson gets here the other always
gets away.
The democrats heard some rather depressing
reports from Indiana today and are not nearly
so confident about that state as o week ago
They maintain confidence as to New York. and
il Is observed that standing offer Of a bet of
81 900 to 500 on Cleveland carrying New York
is still untaken at the Hoffman House.

Correspondence of The Evening Star.
NEW York, Oct 81, 1892.
Senator German talking with me about the
campaign three weeks ago said: "My experience
leads me to believe that there will be four more
waves or political fluctuations between now and
election day. Which way will the last wave
move2 That is the question. If the last wave
moves our way then we will win
The third wave Of which Senator German
spoke has now arrived, and it Is republican
wave. Will there be another wave and will it
be democratic? IL SO the democracy upon
Senator Germans theory will win; not then
Gen. Harrison will be elected.
This present republican wave is big one.
The results Of the registration have caused it.
and all the republican managers, Quay at the
head, are riding on its crest jubilant The
democratic leaders do not deny that the regis
tration has disappointed them, but they still
argue that New York state is safe by good
plurality. 1t is hard to explain away, how
ever. the small registration in the democratic
very large registration in places like Rochester,
the strongest republican city in the state. The
reports from the rural districts where republic
cans abound and democrats are scarce Indicate
that the farmers are pretty much all going to
vote.
The evidences Of the small registration in
democratic strongholds has rearoused some sus-
picions among the democratic factions. While
Mr.. Whitney has been spending most of his
time since the Chicago convention In allaying
discord the special friends of Mr.. Cleveland
have never had perfect confidence in the special
friends Of Senator Hill, in spite of all Mr..
Whitneys diplomacy, and they now lay the
small registration in democratic districts to the
home STAYING of the Hill u,en.
The Hill men retort that in the city the
small registration was caused by the failure Of
the county democrats to register because they
had been showed out Of the way by the demo-
cratic managers. 1t will take a great deal Of
hard work TO put down all their jealousies dur
ing the next few days But hard work will be
done and every effort will be made.
THE OLD CHIEFS IN COMMAND.
Senator German will be the captain hence
forth Of the democracy as Senator Quay will be
of the republicans in the crisis. Each party
has reverted TO the old chiefs in whom is the
confidence begotten of long, tried experience.
Senator German is working as hard as when he
made his victorious battle for the democracy in
Of the force bill" in the FHty-frst Congress.
He is more familiar with the details Of politics
than any other man in the democratic party
and his assumption of command certainly makes
the republican managers somewhat uneasy, for
they appreciate his abilities fully.
Ex-senator Platt said yesterday: 81 consider
Senator German to be the abiest political man
aaer in the country"
senator German spends several hours at the
democratic national headquarters every day,
and then he has . conference with Lieut. Gov
Sheehan, the chairman Of the democratic state
campaign committee, and with Richard Croker,
the leader Of Tammany Hail 1t is a fact that
in the present situation Of affairs the demo-
cratic managers in national headquarters are
looking more and more hopefully to the west
for comfort.
Don VI. Dickinson, who has just returned
from Chicago, says that Illinois, Wisconsin and
Indiana are surely democratic, which means that
Cleveland might be elected without New York.
Now that things in this state look brighter
for them the republican managers, who a week
ago were, a. IL were, Conforming this state and
enchanting that they could win easily without
it, speak Of it with respect and are OF the
opinion that New York is indeed the empire
state, as goes which so goes the Union
DEMOCRATS ANXIOUS OVER DELAWARE.
The democrats are apparently growing an1-
ious about Delaware. The party men from
Delaware, headed by Senator Gray, are strug-
Cling TO get Mr.. Cleveland to 60 TO that state to
speak but up to this time no word has come
indicating his willingness to do 80. There is
reason to believe that the republicans will make
a very strong effort to carry Delaware, for with
/ that state and Connecticut and West Virginia
they could win without New York or Indiana
NORTH CAROLINA.
