SUCCESS ASSURED.
One OF the main subjects OF discussion among
Republicans yesterday the registration. Taken
a whole and in detail, 1t showed the most prom
ising outlook fer the Republicans. The mathema-
ticians got to work registration results and
they deducted some Interesting facts. which led
the most intense enthusiasm. especially as the fg-
ures from the State were most encouraging. When
Mr.. Odel, chairman OF the State Committee had
looked the result OF the registration he said
last night
The registration up the State in my opinion in
dicates that Republicans are awake and intend 10
vote this fall and upon general principles the Re
publican plurality ought to be large. Republicans,
however. should not be satisfied, but should con-
tnue the good work and be thoroughly alive to

the plurality below the Bronx Will be more than
In New-York City and Brooklyn it Is generally
supposed that a large registration means an in

strated beyond any question. therefore. that the
past by the Democrats are not well founded, and
that Republicans can confidently hope to keep down
these conclusions upon the fact that the regstra-

Mr.. Qulgg chairman of the Republican County
Committee. after a close study of the registration
figures and other data at hand, said:
OF course: the registration must be looked at in
the light Of the fact that the Republican party is

nearly II not quite as many Republican votes as
for Governor Black in 1895, that when the com

Taking up. the subject by Assembly districts, this
whole Of the falling off Of the rcsistraron is found
in that body Of Assembly districts which in ordi-

Now taking the body of districts which are ordi-

we find that the registration exceeds that of last

the T2SS In which the total registration this year
has fallen from the total registration last year.
Now. I'm these Republican districts the ser timent
Is intensely In the direction Of Republicanism and
that operates strongly UoOn the kind Of Democrats
who I've in these Republican districts In propor
fairs. who understand that there National
issues involved in this election who like Colonel
Roosevelt because of his character man. and
who are inclined to favor the whole Republican
ticket because of our partys attitude on the ques-
ton Of sound money
The Republican tide. therefore. in these districts
will be almost If not quite. strong this year Il
K years ago. In these districts Roosevelt
will receive enormous Democratic vote. II may
not be precisely the same vote Low got last
year. though naturally il will he made OF the
same kind of Independent men. Tammanv Hall has
not accomplished IN the downtown districts the
trated. and In the Republican districts up town Il
has been overwhelmed This Is the sure lesson OF
the registration.
