and no more than the ordinary election
day disorder is anticipated Tuesday
NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 3.-The Republicans
practically brought the Presidential cam
paign of 1900 to a close today with
large parade conducted under the aus
pieces of the Business Mems Republican
and Sound Money Association.
The campaign has been conducted with
unusual vigor on both sides, and rarely,
if ever, has more hard work been done
in this city and State by the leaders of
Republican and Democratic organizations.
Both sides will indulge in a breathing
spell from now until next Tuesday.
Leaders on both sides are greatly in
terested in the possibilities in what is
termed the silent vote, as we'll as the
political alignment of first voters and
new voters. Estimates concerning the
possible political action of the silent or
secret voters are valueless. So far as
the first voters and nautralized voters are
concerned, it may be said that the in
crease in registration in this city this
year has been remarkable. The total
registration for the five boroughs of
Greater New York this year amounts to
$40 ,O6S, as against 571.129, gain of
nearly 10000 as compared with the regis
tration of four years ago. 1t is this raw
vote and the silent vote that has puzzled
the Republican and Democratic leaders
