Mr.. Harrity hopes that the democracy can elect
Mr.. Cleveland without the aid Of New York is
shown by the Joy OF democratic headquarters
today over the heavy registration in Chicago.

thing definite from the democratic chiefs about
their expectation In the west. but now that
Chicago shows q gain In registration Of more
than 100, 900 over 1883 they do not DENY that
they expect 20 carry Illinois and they also claim
that they will carry Wisconsin.
II Is a singular fact that the electoral votes Of
Illinois and Wisconsin aggregate thirty-sIx, just
