6C NEW YOak nc0tO nA iON.
!. NEW York, Nov. 2-The Republican
national committee gives the following
analysis of the registry list Of the city ol
New York:
There are many significant facts about
the registration of New York city, all
pointing, In the judgement of the Repub-
lican national comittee. to victory fol
Harrison and Reid. One OF the most ini-
portant facts is that the registration fol
1892 below Fortieth street. or in that part
of the town where the Democrats are
especially strong. is 8, ,S01 less Than it was
in 1888. Above Fortieth street the regis
tration this year stands 49, 1863. against
1222. .274. an increase of p. .0s9, or 2212 per
cent.
THE entire increase in registration,
therefore. is above FOrtieth street. Com
pairing the registration by assembly dis
trIcts as at present constituted with the
total vote cast in 1891 in those districts. the
fact appears that in the districts casting
heavy Democratic majorities the increase
OF the registration over the vote cast is
about 25 per cent. while the increase in
districts giving small Democratic or a
Republican plurality is about 81 per
cent The first ten assembly districts of
this city are heavily Democratic. their
ms1orities ranging on the vote cast
those districts the percentage of
increase of registration this year
over the vote cast in 1884 is only % 93 per
cent. The Eleventh assembly district is
Republican; there the increase is SO s. per
cent. The Twenty frst district is Repub-
lican. the increase is 81 per cent. The
Twenty-third district is Republican;
there the increase is 81 per cent. The
Twenty-seventh district is slightly Demo-
Democratic, but it contains an enormous
Republican vote; there the increase is Al
per cent. The Twenty-eighth district is
also slightly Democratic. but there, too,
the Republican vote is heavy. The increase
there is 81 Der cent. The sum and sub
stance Of ali this is that in those parts of
the city where the Republicans are strong
registration Is very heavy, showing large
increases over the total vote cast last year,
while in the heavily Democratic districts
the registration is low, showing small
increase over last years vote.
SIX weeks ago Mr.. Croker gave out the
prediction that the registration in New
York City would amount to 330, 600. That
was a conservative estimate. Ir allowed
for considerable falling off from what
would be full registration. On the basis
OF the natural increase over the reRistra-
tion of 1885, there should now be on the
registry lists of this city 342. .000 names.
But there ara not 342 coo nor 1896, ,O00 There
are only 309, $50, aud the loss, as the anal
ysis above given clearly shows, lies in the
Democratic districts. In those districts,
however, there has been an enormous
amount of false aud illegal registration.
Undoubtedly as many rs L. 500 Democratic
repeaters have been registered, and these
men are expected to operate. each of
4 ILL
publican managers do not expect them to
do anything of the kind. Arrangements
are now being made by which every
of them will befollowed and ar
rested tho moment he tries to perform
An illegal act. The number of these fell
lows available for pefarious work on cleo
tion day will be greatly reduced by arrests
during the next TWO or three days. In-
dictments are now being prepared and
warrants issued for hos. of these charac-
tors. The Republican leaders are deter
mined that the election in this city shall
be fair and the count honest, and they will
resort to the EXTREMIST measures known to
The law to insure that result
'The registration as it stands, however,
proves the truth of the Democratic allega-
tions at Chicago that Cleveland is essen
TALLY weak candidate. Whel the Demo-
cratic delegation from this state united in
IuC otdtCblCut w bAO SuiCoSO
hat Cleveland could not possibly carry
the state of New York, they contemplated
precisely the situation which has come
about. They knew that there would be
slump in the Democratic vote if he was
made the party nominee, and their predic-
ions have been realized. They have made
! bold fight to save him. but they have
aot bsen able in three months to undo
.monE their followers the prejudices of
Tears.
''Ths Republican county committee, by
their canvass of the city with
,he registry list, have ascertained that,
the full Republican vote of
his city is on the rolls. Allowing for all
possible loss, it is reasonably certain that
La, 900 Republican votes will be cast as
with 10000 in 1885, The full
'ote of the city will not be many more
han 29l, 600. II the Democrats obtain So
Der cent of the total estimated, they will
,e doing uncommenly we'll on the situa-
ion as it stands today This will give
hem q vote OF 10000 and II plurality of
(. .O0O. This is rs much as they can, with
my degree of reason, hope to accomplish"
