 OHICAGO, Oct 2O.-"The registra- tion of Chicago is indicative of a great Republican majority in this city, said Mr. Hanna this morning. The chair man of the Republican National com mittee was in an especially good humor, and said E(hat not only in Chi cago, but throughout the state, the same encouraging reports are received. Mir Hanna laughed when asked about the latest claim of Senator Jones of states that he says Bryan will carry. Mr. Hanna has not during this cam, paigm given out any tables, nor has he made any estimates, because that is not his habit He said that the Popo cratic table was ridiculous, and that on November 3 the people of the Unb1ed States would show how wrong Senator Jones was, but just at present he was working to bring about this end, and was not talking.
 The quiet way in which Mir. Hanna has gone to work, and the systematic methods he has employed, since his re- turn from the east, has greatly wor- ried the PopocratS, and they have used many schemes to get him to talk, but in vain. Mir. Hanna is perfectly satis fled with the outlook, and he feels that after tlhe day of election the people will see for themselves what he has accomplished for the coulrtry's good.
 Committeeman Henry C. Payne, who has charge of the estimating bureau" of the western headquarters, like MT. Hanna, is feeling remarkably good. In discussing the first days registration in Chicago, he said: "It means that there will be at least $50, ,000 voters reg istered in Chicago. Some are estimat ing that it will be 100000, but I hardly think it will reach that figure. The fact is the people of Chicago are talk ing no chances. I think every busi- ness man has registered. The books show an enormous increase in this class of voters. New York will have to look out for its laurels, as it looks as if Chicago was goingao beat her in the number of registered volers.
 q think there will be 300 ,000 votes cast out of the number registered, and Bryan will get 100000 and Mckinley will get 100000. This will give Chi cago to the Republican ticket by 100,- 000 m O irr.itv rTho, ynoct ardent f,iar6c e of MT. Bryan have never estimated that he will get over 100000 votes in Chicago. With their own figures, this leaves Mckinley with the other 100000 voters who have registered"
 MT. Payne was asked what he thought of Senator Jones latest table, in which he gives Bryan 270 electoral votes, Mckinley eighty -one and doubt ful eighty -seWen- MT. Payne smiled and said: q can only say that the table falls to pieces when you look at the Bryan list and see that Senator Jones has included Illinois and Indiana in the Bryan column and makes Wis cOnsin and New York doubtful. These claims are indicative of the whole table. It is simply ridiculous and only shows how desperate the Popocrats must be ito make such claims Every one knows that New York is surely for Mckinley, and there is no use tt repeat the assertion that Illinois vii vote the same way, because out hers that is an assured fact"
 The result of the first days registra tion in Chicago, when analysed, can mot help but give the Republicans tn, greatest amount of encouragement The registration for the first day ha beaten all records, and, what is mos significant, shows a tremendous gail in all the Republican wards, while tn increase in the Democratic stronghold is almost paltry. The heavy gains il the Republican wards show that ever man who loves his country and it honor has done his duty and registered
 The fight between the National an the Illinois state Democratic commit tees is now very bitter At a meetin held in Springfield last week, in Gov ernor Altgeld's office, it was decide by the state men ito abandon Bryan i Illinois and to put all their energy t work to elect only the state ticket an lAltgeld. Jones heard of this meetin and resolved to get even with Altgel( and it is claimed that the Tamman notice against Altgeld is a result of hi work.
