A SATURDAY IN THE
 MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN

The committee on arrangements for the primary election held meeting yesterday afternoon to consider request from each of the mayoralty candidates and from the Railroad Mems Political club that the reg istration books be kept open until o'clock three nights this week.
 The committee readily acceded to the re- quest, and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights the books will be kept open until o'clock.
 Up to last night nearly HOO voters had registered in the nine wards. This is sat- isfactory to the candidates. It is well known that the bulk of registration comes during the last few days
 SMITH
 Something evidently turned up around Smiths headquarters yesteray. It was something very pleasant, for never during the campaign have Smith supporters been quite so confident The room in which headquarters is made was crowded all. dur ing the day and last night large delega- tions from several wards called on MT. Smith.
 "We are perfectly satisfied, said Man. ager Pearce, last night. "Everything is going our gay. The news that has reached us today is very satisfactory. Our friends are keeping list of voters registered In every ward, and so far we have the best of it in a majority of them. If things keep coming our way we will come near hand ling every ward in the city. Mark my prediction"
 Mr. Pearce would not give out the nature of the news that had reached him during the day, except that it was favorable. Smith supporters evidently enjoyed it, and there may be something hot up the sleeve.
 DRENNEN
 On account of the rain, which began to fall before dark and continued for two or three hours, the meeting of young men called to assemble at Alderman Drennens s headquarters, in Second avenue, to form Drennen Young Mems club was postponed till S o'clock Monday night. At that time the club will be formed at MT. Drennen $ headquarters.
 Ward meetings will be held by MT. Dren- nens supporters throughout the city the coming week. There will be meeting or meetings every night, and the work for Drennen will be pushed with much energy. It is understood that the meetings will be for work, rather than speechmaking.
 Every Drennen man is desired to know what every other Drennen man is doing. Registration goes on very satisfactorily, though complaint is made that the places for registering are not in all cases conven- 1ently situated. The registration up 10 date is in advance of what it has been at the corresponding time previous to former mu- nicipal primaries. Registration closes next Friday, and voters will doubtless bear that fact in mind.
 PARKER
 Last night the central committee for the Parker campaign held meeting at their headquarters to consider the matter of reg istration and what had been done during the week.
 The committee was thoroughly satisfied with the results of the weeks work MT. Parker's friends are registering over the city, and in several of the wards they claim a majority of those registered are clearly for him. Registration will be care fully looked after during this week. On Monday night there will be a large meeting of MT. Parker's friends at his head quarters and several speeches will be made.
