THE REGISTRATION.

At no time since the registrars office
was opened We're the clerks worked hard
er than they were early this afternoon
Before 2 o'clock this afternoon 1850 voters
had received certificates and the total
was nearly 5000 at the close of the Office
tonight.
OF course. this remarkable rush can not
keep up throughout the whole thirty days
OF registration. If 1t did the vote cast in
the coming election would be in the neigh
bor'hood of 10000 There can not be
much doubt, however that all registration
records are going TO be smashed this year.
The average number of voters regis
tered per day in the municipal election
two years ago was 444. but thus far the
registration averages about Gao per day.
an increase of nearly 200 per day.
The answers to inquiries of the friends
of the various candidates for mayor would
go to show that this heavy registration
is not the result of any particular move
ment on the part of the candidates, but
is spontaneous. Seemingly there is more
feeling in the campaign than shows on
the surface and there is going to be a
much larger vote than in any of the pre-
vious municipal elections.
