REPORTS ABOUT THE BLISS ENROLMENT.

At the headquarters of the Republican organza-
tlon No. li22 Broadway, reports were received last
evening from district leaders in various parts OF
the city regarding the Bliss enrolment Thursday
evening and the numbers claimed by them hav-
iny been placed the lists that evening. These
differ materially from the numbers that were actu-
ally enrolled The returns. for example from the
XVIII Assembly District, which Is divided into
forty-two election districts reported by the Bliss
men and the Milholland mon. show striking
difference. In the Eight Election District for eX-
ample the Bliss claim that eighteen voters
affixed their names the rolls whereas the num-
Seventeenth Election District is credited with
thirty-onc names. when, Il matter OF fact, only
eleven are found 10 have signed the roll
Twenty-sx credited TO the Twenty-sccond Flee
ton District instead Of sixteen; twenty-four to the
thirty-hrst District. Instead OF four; six to the
Eighteenth District where not a single voter Is
found TO have registered; twenty 10 the Fourteenth
district, instead OF twelve and on.
Peter Mcdonald. the district leader. reported that
the Bliss men could get to act. while in the
Seventeenth District a man named Coon who was
in charge said he would have 10 go TO Larry"
Lynch, the Tammany district captain to get men
for Monday evening. Mr.. Mcdonald said that In his
own district the Bliss men got thirtyfive Democrats
among them being men who were Tammany poll
clerks al the last election.
