SwTEPING REPUBLICAN, VICTORY FORE
cAsTED FROM THE REGISTRATION.


The Republicans enter upon the last two
weeks OF the campaign I'm the most cheerful
snood and with every incentive to keep the fight
up until Election Day with redoubled energy
prom now on things viii hum in the Republican
tamp Senator Plat. who went pp to Owego TO
register, returned 10 the city yesterday Colonel
Dunn chairman Of the Republican State Com
snittee who went 10 BinGhamton on the same
EMISSION. returned last night. William Barnes,
Dr.. chairman Of the executive committee was
on hand and in the course Of the evening Rob
ert c. Morris, president Of the Republican
County Committee, came in, and there was
general conference over the situation. All re-
ports were encouraging.
Senator Plat had little TO say. 1t Will
all be over In two WEEKS he remarked, and
shen added with twinkle in his eve. We can
oil say 4 told you So he seemed TO be jubi-
liant. lie declared that from all reports he had
received he was convinced that the Republican
vote would be big one. The registration
figures" he added. ARE most gratifying. / am
quite sure that We viii do even more than our
people have anticipated, for the people are with
xhe party and public sentiment is behind the
Eepublican ticket"
Colonel Dunn. chairman Of the State Com
snittee, after glancing the registration fig
nres from all parts of the State. made the fol-
lowing statement:
Reports received AT Republican state Head
quarters for the four days Of registration indicate
holds partcularlv In Inc - - Two daVs The to
ga registration is; in many cities in excess OF
FOR 1900 the Presidential year Comparisons have
been made 10y city chairmen with the registration
EYER there is an; an increase this year Last year
sMcyors were elected i'm the following cities; Al

ester. Schenectady, Syracuse. Troy. Utica Water
low, lonhers ana POSSIBLY one or two others. IN
5nany 81 these cities the contests particularly
sorted making no comparisons fIrtber tban 70 saw
she best OF it.
Mr.. Morris had the same kind OF good news 20
gen. He spent the last two days of the week
sn strenuous efforts 10 get the voters out 10 reg
lster and the fruits Of his labors are plainly
INDICATED by the heavy registration on the last
awo days. He stirred some of the leaders in
sively fashion and made them stay in their dis
trcts and work Friday and Saturday. He was
fot prepared to give any figures last night, but
eaid:
An analysis of the four days registration OF
this year has been made and compared with the
registration Of 1898 as that year was the last
year in which State issues principally were in
NolVed, and therefore affords the only fair basis
on which 70 make an estimate of what the vote
will be. The result OF this analysis is distinctly
sdNtIdble 40 llt IAtpublicdn cause. LOT II SHOWS
a marked gain In Republican localities and
decided loss in Democratic strongholds Condi-
lions are such as 10 indicate a largely increased
Republican vote I'm this county and We are con-
1dent that the registration means an unusually
strong support Of the Republican party in the
coming election"
From now until Election Day the fight will be
kept up without cessation. There viii be meet
1ngs every night I'm nearly every district in the
city and in many districts up the State. There
will be many big rallies and mass meetings. The
organization is i'm excellent shape and with the
coal strike eliminated the campaign is clean cut
and the outlook leads all the campaign man
egers TO predict sweeping Republican success.
