FORCE AND THERE WAS A BIG
GAIN MADE BY THE REPUBL1-
CANS.
The days OF registration allowing
the privilege Of voting for the prlmar-
les closed Saturday and big increase
p reported by the registrars. The
neghlos were out in full force, being
drummed about by the Republican
leaders, and as a result big gain was
made by the Republicans. All day
yesterday active Republican workers
could be seen standing near the regis
tration places, and whenever a negro
loomed up he was buttoned-holed and
given instructions as to the manner OF
registering. Every colored house in
each district was visited and crowds
OF white men stood about the work
shops and waited for the negroes 10
appear. They were then escorted to
near the registration booth, and a
watch kept on them until they emerged
from the booth. Several workers of
the Republican party carrying valises
were seen to go in houses occupied by
colored men. A large number OF the
negroes were not alloweded to register,
and had their names been accepted
then umber registering would have
been doubled.
The Democrats, however, made a
good showing. and a rough canvass
shows them to be in the majority. The
registration Saturday resulted as fol-
lows;
