ALL SUITED ~ NEW YORK.
Leaders on Both Sides Say the Registra-
ton FOreshadOwS Victory.

President Bruce of the New York Republi-
can county committee said Yesterday; "The
big registration foreshadows another tri-
umph for the forces that are making for
righteousness in this city. When the
wrath of the people is kndled grafters and
pocket politicians are driven like dust be-
fore the wind The issues are not political
but moral The appeal is not to prejudice
or partisanship but TO the conscience and
manhood of the citizen, II is simply the
white light against the red light, decency
against indecency, virtue against vice,
the home against its enemies The report
that there is lack of harmony between
the Republican organization and the Citi-
zens Union Is without foundation. We
are standing shoulder to shoulder in this
fight and the single purpose is the election
of our ticket. There is no rivalry except
to see which shall do the most to bring
about this result
Secretary George r. Manchester Of the
committee said that large registration
had always been the signal for Tammany
defeat.
Secretary William lie airy of the Fire
Department, the eminent political stats-
tician and calculator, said the figures
couldn't spell anything but big vote for
Low. MIR. Leary confessed that the man
who had to be urged to register and who
with out urging might not register or vote
generally voted the Republican ticket
when he did get to the polls. The figures
indicated that he intended to vote this
time If the vote could he brought up to
the normal percentage OF those who regis
tered, he thought Low was assured of vic
tory by good margin.
Leader Murphys observation for Tam
many was put in these words. The large
registration speaks for itself 1t indicates
that the people fully realize the true sig

the Republican party

banners on which hundreds of thousands OF
dollars have been spent have awakened only

sides Democrats will manifest this feeling
and accomplish the election Of Mcclellan
and the entire Democratic ticket by vote.
In my Judgment. which will excel the Demo-
cratic triumph In this city last year.
After the third day Of registration one
election district captain reported that
fort -five Democrats in his district had not
registered. They said they were Disguised
| with tha state of fhinps Thirty two Of

came up the captair asked 'hcm why they
had decided to register. The general an
swer was that they had decided that this
Dest way TO show their Dissatisfaction was
