The work at tho headquarters OF the Republican

oreanization after the enrolment. President Quigs
and Secretary Manchester, who were directing the
,abors OF the tabuIators, said that they expected
A have the statements of the various districts In
shane 10 make public to-day. The great amount
OF labor necessary to put the returns In proper
shane made It impossible 10 prepare detailed
statement sooner. .
Mr. Ouigg said last evening that the enrolling
officers were required to make return OF the NUM-

he taken as the party's strength In 1885, our en-
rolment of June 1897 is largely In excess OF the 10
ner cent which was all that some OF our Brook
tvn friends were disposed to credit us with the
other day In comparison with the Republican vote
of the Presidential year;
THE increase OF fresh enrolments over the re-
duction caused by the carefully conducted revision
OF last Tuesday proves most satisfactory state Of
the organization, and believe that II Is accurate
TO say that the Republican party OF New-York
"The so-caiied Brookhed organization, 1t Is EVIL
dent existed mainly In the lid. With. With.
XXth, XXIId and XVIII Assembly districts.
There was also some opposition developed In the
XIith, XXvIIIth and XxxIIId Assembly dis
voters have awaited themselves OF the opportunity
20 enroll as the returns show. They came and
offered their namea for enrolment and In only one
Assembly District has there been any complaint
made that all genuine Republicans did not receive
a welcome. 1t was the most complete enrolment
ever held In the city Of New:York."
Mr. Quigg did not name the Assembly District
from which complaint had arisen ms 10 the way In
which the enrolment was conducted but II was
understood that the With District alluded to.
Enrolment IL not TO be confined 10 the regular
organization, notwithstanding the declarations OF
Republican harmony which hnve been OF late 30
