Tho Indications in New York.

Tho total registration OF this city for tho
first two days has been 202,276. II tho
registration for the two remaining days OF
registry DO proportionately rs In 1888. tho
whole number of citizens who will thus
havo qualified themselves to vote at the
election on the sth OF November will DO
IN tho no!ghtorhood Of 5000 as against
tho 2sc. $40 registered in 1888.
In 1883 tho vote actually cast FOR CLEvE-
LAND and HARRISON aggregated 2C9.657. II
tho vote Tor them now is tho same proper
tionately to tho registration. its aggregate
will bu about go. O0O in 1892. II this total is
divided between them pr~oportionatcly rs
WINS the vote Of 1855. CLEVELAND will havo
In Now York about $4,000 to EARElsoS's
1i5.ooo. or u majority OF Go.ooo.
This year the now ballot law will be first
applied In an election for President. and IL
Inst years election for Governor afforded Il
fair test o! its working. tho reduction OF the
vote cast as compared with the vote regis
tered will be much moro than In 1888. In
1891 tho registration In this city was POI .623.
md tho vote polled was only $50. los. u fall
ing Off OF q little more than So per cent.
Allowing for n like proportionato reduction
this year, and FOR the outside and scattering
vote. the CLEVELAND and HARRISON vote
together may not aggregate more than
275.OOO or $50. 900. II it Is divided between
them proportionatcly rs in 1883. CLEVELAND
will have 1G6. 900 to HARR1soS's @ 1000, or u
majority OF $1,000 to $1,000.
Afaircr basis OF comparison is ~undoubted-
ly tho vote of 1891 for Governor. when tho
new ballot law was in operation. Tho
Democratic majority in this city was then
%. 500. on u total vote Of 1884, 900. II the same
ratio is maintained In 1892 on q total vote
Of 275, 900 between CLEVELAND and HARRI-
son, the Democratic majority will DO about
5000. 1t Is true that FAssErr received
Mugwump and County Democracy votes
which will go to Mr.. CLEVELAND In No
vcmber: but wo will allow these to be Offset
by the fuller Republican vote got out in an
election for President.
1t looks. therefore. as II the majority for
CLEVELAND would DO at least $1,000. with
the chances that it may be much moro. now
that the Democracy OF New York have been
completely united and thoroughly aroused
by the Force bill issue.
At all Of the elections for President since
1880 the vote Of this city has stood in tho
ratio of a little moro than three-flfths Dem
ocratic to a littlo less than two-tifths Re-
publican. except in the case OF BLAINE, who
got u tritle more than two-fifths.
whether tho Republicans can keep up
their proportionate vote this year is very
doubtful. They have been making a good
deal OF noise oflatc and holding Il great mum.
her OF meetings. but that does not imply
the thorough and skilful organization which
brings out the vote. Meantime the Demo-
cratic organization is more perfect than
ever before. and tho enormous registration
Of last Wednesday shows that the Demo-
Gratis arc going to vote in a solid mass.
The indications from Brooklyn are the
same. Reasonably. therefore. the Republi-
cans arc in great anxiety. They pro css to
be sure Of getting out their full buck-coun-
try vote, but their success in that effort re-
mains to be demonstrated on election day.
One thing is certain: they will need u bi.
majority down to tho Harlem River 20 over
come the tremendous Democratic majority
in Now York, Kings. and Queens.
The outlook in this State. accordingly. is
very hopeful for the Democracy. No Force
bill! No Negro Domination!
