OF the R-gistrntion Figures shows.
The registered vote in Brooklyn ia about
$4,000 so that the contribution OF that city
to tho voting army OF the State on Tuesi Day
will be about 10000. or falling of OF II 900
from the registered vote. In this number
being included the non-votcrs and those who
will throw their votes away on the hopeless
candidates. Tho four county towns OF Flat
bush Gravesond. New Utrecht, and Flatlands
will furnish about 10000 moro voters, thus
constituting tho total army OF Democratic aud
Republican voters from Kings county 176 900.
in a close election. with tho fighting forces
outside OF Kings county distributed as they
were in 1884 and 1893. this host would have
determining influence on the contest
Now that the Issues OF the campaign have
been made up and tho strategic movements
of tho managers accomplished. to- day and to-
morrow the politicians will bo working at tho
pro lem OF assigning the 10000 voters to the
respective Cleveland and Harrison column.
Tho campaign has been notably wanting in
dash and spirit. and until q week or so ago
general apathy was the prevailing feature.
Tho Brooklyn delegation. which went to Chi
NVso LOU lHB HlDit inc 111il banner, returned
home in an unpleasant frame OF mind. On
reaching Chicago. and even on their way
there. tho brooklyn men received no quarter
from the excited supporters Of the ex-Presi-
dent. and were frequently compelled to listen
to tho most Nirulent and bitter attacks on
their favorito statesman. Ono by one the dele
gates got bnck to Brooklyn under the shelter
OF night and without any blowing OF trumpets.
and 1t was not until Senator Hill dashed into
the arena and uttered his mnrshalng call at
the Academy OF Music that any life was inject
ed into the campaign.
MIR. Mclaughlin. however. has his forces
under quito thorough CONTROL and tho organ
izatlon is 30 perfect that it does not require
much brass band. pyrotechnics. or oratory to
bring out tho Democratic vote The Demo.
cratic legions of Kings county never fail to
respond to the clarion call Of their trusted
leader. and there is no doubt whatever that
when the votes have been counted on Tuesday
night it will be found that there have been few
