The life is in the rooms of the Republican Coun-
" Committee. They are thronged daily with &C
tive Republican workers. All confident Of
victory in November. One of them to-day ex-
hibited the result of careful canvass Of a town
in Erie County which often elects Democratic
Supervisor. The result of the poll was as fol-

ports from other towns and from the city OF Buff
falo were similarly good. Moreover, the regis
tration on Friday and Saturday was as large in
proportion as in New-York and Brooklyn, indi-
eating unusual Republican interest. When the
registration is small, the Democratic party has
the advantage.
The Republicans are confident that they will
carry Erie County for Mckinley by at least
10000 majority. This will be remarkable re-

gress districts and the eight Assembly districts

congress TO put the project for the completion
of the Lake Erie breakwater under the CON

speedy completion.
The silver Democrats are working to defeat
Mr. Mahany. and probably have some money
from the silver mine owners to against him.
First they nominated William c. ONeil, but
he proved to be weak candidate. and they
have put forward against him Charles Rung.

money upon the canvass. The gold Democrats
