total number in this city is 1850 which
is 1900 larger than the best previous
record and nearly 5000 more than last
year. The state returns are also amaz-

that the Republicans are in the majority
There is no reliable means OF determining
this, however, and reliable approximate
cannot be given just at present. In few
days the total registration by wards will
be known.
