as the republicans claim, or be gobbled
up by trusts. as the democrats retort.
The election is now near enough for
the usual biased predictions Of victory.
and the registration has furnished
the prophets basis for their several
claims. The partisan indications are
not very clear. as the decrease is about
the same in democratic and republican
strcngholds. Where the democrats
find most hope is In the heavy falling
on Of the registration up the State. In
the sections which the republicans
count upon rolling up pluraIities TO
overcome the usual democratic vote
IN New York City.
The managers of Bird s. Coler's
campaign do not like the idea which
the republicans. even at this late day

standing the immense amount of build
ing. the demand for houses and desira-
BILE apartments is exceptionally great
and rents are up in proportion. Many
economics must be practiced this win

People will do business In Manhattan,
