Yesterday was the second day OF registration,
and the figures reported by the elections Of
fcials show great increase all along the line
in Manhattan and The Bronx over the results
OF the second day in 1896 the last Presidential
year. Voters who had neglected to take advan
tage Of the opportunity of the first day began to
throng the polling places early in the morning
and the registry boards had all they could do 10
keep up with the rush in many OF the districts
The elections officials prohted somewhat by
the lessons OF Friday, and the vexatious DELAYS
in returning the figures to Police HEADQUARTERS
were not repeated. AS on Friday, the largest
proportionate increases were in the uptown dis
tricts- The total in Manhattan and The Bronx
Friday was IA, 1856, as compared with 139.O1e
in 1896

ELATION AND GLOOM ALTERNATE.
CHANGING SENSATIONS AT DEMOCRATIC
HEADQUARTERsRE CONTRIB
T-TToN-S HAVE THEIR EFFECT


UTIoNs HAVE THEIR EFFECT.
The Democratic leaders around the Hoffman
House yesterday alternated between elation and
gloom. The elation was brought about by several
substantial contributions to the campaign funds
OF both the State and National organizations. The
depression due to the chilling deductions from
the registration figures. II is a well known fact
that both the State and National organizations OF
the Democratic party have been badly hampered
for money. Tammany has end Of money. but
Tammany believes that charity begins at home,
and up date has declined pour any money
into the Golfers of the State organization or give
any to Ex-Governor Stones junta in the Hoffman
House
Tammany is preparing to spend whole lot OF
money from now until Election Day in this city.
The first outlay will be next Tuesday night. when
three big mass meetings and other meetings OF
Jess Importance will be held. William ]. Bryan
will be here speak at Tammany Hail. in Madi-
son Square Garden and at Cooper Union on that
night. There will be dozens of bands, riot OF
fireworks and redire, professions and excitement
galore. Even after Mr.. Bryan leaves the city this
hurrah time is 10 he kept up until Election Day in
the hope OF adding votes to the Democratic column
The State and National committees. however,
have been unable to make any preparations for big
meetings and other campaign proceedings Lack OF
money has been the trouble. Yesterday James X.
Mcclure and James D. Richardson. each speaking
for his respective organization, admitted that
substantial contributions had been received They
would here the money had come from,
how much there was or what would be done with
IT, but remarked in satisfied way that times had
improved 1t is believed that result OF this
the Democratic campaign up the State and in the
East generally will receive new impetus.
There was a powwow OF Democrats at the Ho1-
man House yesterday Frank Campbell. chairman
NJ the State Committee, not hand he
went home to register. Mayor Mcclure who started
later in the day, was about in the forenoon, as
were ex-senator Murphy, Richard Croker Con-
sressrnan Richardson and Senator McCarren. EX-
Senator David B. Hill who came to the city his
wav to speak in Hoboken last night, was also at
headquarters He talked with Elliot Danforth and
Mavor Mcclure The Democratic leaders tried 10
push aside the registration figures indefinite.
Richard Croker tried to take some comfort out Of
the figures When Mr. Hill was asked about the
situation. he said:
There's another silly thing to attempt TO do Who
can tell anything about 1t? A candidate may have
large crowds his meetings and apparently lots Of
en- nthusiasm and still be defeated while. the
other hand. he may small crowds. less en-
thusiasm. and stIll be elected It's just that kind
of stun that makes the people interested in poll
