Last Year viii BE Cast in This County.
Returns we're received yesterday at Republi-
can State Headquarters from most OF the
cities and towns of over 5000 population up
the State. In almost every instance they
showed the registration this year to be equal
to that OF 1879 and more than the regis
tration OF 1897. In very many instan-
ces the figures went away ahead OF
those Of 1893. The reports were from the
chairmen OF county committees or city COM
mittees. who are familiar with the voters OF
their districts and in nearly all cases they
ported that the increases were Republican
increases. Here are some samples:
'Hornellsville Registration a little below
last year but falling off Is Democratic. The
Republicans have registered well"
Ithaca Registration about the same as last
year. The indications are all favorable to our
side"

are about the same: Binghamton. where there
is a gain OF about 200. Buffalo. where there

| After receiving these reports and studying
them. the Hon. Benjamin b. Ode Jr.. chair

little from that OF last year when there was
Gubernatorial and full State ticket before tho
people While it is true that in the
city OF New York and in Kings county

must be borne in mind that there are only
