Kelvey and Detectives Price and Shaugh
nsssy, of tho Fourth Precinct. They have
several clues on which to work, one of which
is a letter found on top of tho parcel dolivered
at the house. This letter was inclosed in an
envelope, addressed like the parcel, " Mr.
i Wochsler, No. 829 Washington nvonuc. It
covered two sheets of business note paper,
ruled with bluo linos. It read as follows : .
Mr. J. WrchelerRin i I send yon a few articles
which I have taken from your store dishonestly.
I am very sorry for It now, and I sincerely trust
that you will not entirely condemn a young man
for snch an error. If you will be so Indulgent as
to keep this matter prlvato and not at
tempt to prosecute me I will repay
you for all Roods I havo taken. I
do this on the advice of ray uncle,
J. A. Lanney, of NewYoik. I will be pleased If
you will receive a visit from us, as my undo wants
to see you In regard to this matter, Ulobject and
mine also Is to make you mil amends. I will send
you several dozen pawn-tickets for goods which I

truly, Louis u. Swift,
No. 243 West FIfty-elghtb street, N. Y,
Tho letter was written in ink in an angular
I i hand, the writer evidently intending to
make it look like a lady's hand. Several of
tho words were mfsspolled, but the
letter on tho wholo was that of an
educated person. The defecC seemed to
bo intentional. The latter was undoubtedly
written as a decoy to induce Mr. Wechsler to
' look further into tho fatal package As a
matter offset it had this very effect.
l Other clues are afforded by tho presence in
ff the box of five printed business cards bearing
the name of John A. Lanney, wagon buildor,
415 West Eighteenth street. New York.
Although they were probably placed there
with the express intention of throwing the
polico off the track they may prove val
uable links,, in,,the chain. Then
.there'll another piece of writing in tho hands
.of.Oppt. MoKelvoy which, ho considers,
.affords a most valuable oluo, out he will not
give its exact nature. Superintendent Camp
beH'said this morning that he felt confident
that the man who sent tho infernal mnchino
.wquld bo in the hands of tho police during
the next twenty-four hours.
, '.A. BIO BXWADD OFFERED.
Two thousand dollars reward are offered
for the arrest of the man, and it has stirred
the detectives to their best efforts. One thou.
Band dollars are offered by Mr. Joseph
Wechsler, and the other thousand by his
partner, Mr. A. Abraham.
t Mrs. Wechsler's injuries are much more
serious than they werd at first supposed to
bo. Both her hands were so terribly lacerated
by the pieces of metal scattered by tho ex
plosion that they present tho appearance
.of jagged masses of raw flesh.
, Two fingers of tho left hand were
'almost entirely shot away, and the skin is
shrivelled up by the scattering blast of the
totplosivs." Her face is cashed all over by
jagged pieces of glass and metal, and her left
;eyolidfs out in two. Altogether thero ore
'fifteen separate wounds on her face
and neck. When Dr. A. Itoches-
,ter. of No. 3 St. James place,
called at the house this morning to dress
' Mrs. Wechsler's wounds he found ner in tho
greatest agony. He said that her case is made
- much more serious by the fact that the viru
lent acid mixed with the metal and glass had
entered tho wounds and brought about acute
inflammation. He greatly feared that blood
poisoning would ensue.
' Tho little boy Philip, who is only eight
years of ago, had several inches of his scalp
i torn off by the explosives. His left eye is
.Dadly injured and both his hands are severely
cut.
IT WAS A TEHBIBLE EirLOSITE.
An Evejjino Would reporter was shown
.this t morning by Mr. Wechsler into the
.room where the infernal machino was
lopened. Only by such ocular demon
stration could anything liko an accurate
.idea bo obtained of tho terrible force
of the unknown oxplosive. The room
is in the rear of the second floor and is used
as a children's bedroom. The furniture
and carpets wore completely wreoked. All
jo over the floor were places where
H i - the fiery acid had spread, burning the carpet
I .and tho floorincin apaces as large as eighteen
.inchos square. The pier glass and chandelier
.globes were shattered, and the bedclothing
was so burned as to be useless. Large
pieces chipped by tho flying pieces of metal
from tho cornice, tho ceiling and the picture
frames covered the floor, mingled with the
blood of Mrs. Wechslor and the little boy.
can't account yon rr.
Mr. Wechslor is unable to account for tho
aot. He repudiates tho theory that it was
that of a discharged employee seeking re
venge. His statement as to vthe so.
L 'quenco of events last night is as
w follows: " I wont out for a walk at
' about 9 o'clock intending to stroll through
.Washington Pork, smoke a cigar.and be back
in half an hour. I am told that at 9. IS a
. young man in a district mossenger's unifprm
'rang the front "door boll. The door was
'oponed by my father-in-law Mr. H.
, 'Itossman.who is over sixty years of age
and very near-sighted. The pretended mes
I senger Doy gave him a parcel wrapped up
1 ' with string, on the top of which were a letter
t' and a Card ooth addreated to me. My wife w as
7 then in (ho -rear room on the second
'floor with my little son Philip. My father,
in-law called to her that there was a letter
and pardel for me, and at her request he
took both up to her. She laid them
It ou the sofa and paid no further
1 attention to them for at least half an
hour, during which time sho put the
1 boy to btd and read several ohapters
I, of p. novel. It was not until 10
I o'clock, that sho examined the parcel

J taining tho plated ciher knife, fork and
b spoon, Boeing these she naturally concluded
that the oilier contents of tho par.

H .littlo boy's curionity was attracted by the
H . clatter of tho knife and fork and ho got out

startled not only evory one in this house, but
oaused the people in the adjoining housos to
run hero in the belief that tho house had
fallen.
" I camo in at that juncture," contlnuod
Mr. Wechslor. " and was mot by one of my
sons who told me that my wife and little
Philip wore nearly killed, but they did not
know what had caused their injuries.
I at onco ran for Dr. Rochester. I
shall to-day secure the sorvices of

I am in hopes that she will recover, al
though both sho ond the boy will in nny ex.
tent be maimed and disfigured for lifo,"
NOT A DISTniCT MESSENOEB.
Capt. MoKolvey has learned by inquiry at
every District Messenger office in Brooklyn
and New York that the messenger who de
livered the package was not an employee
of any of the companies. Nono of tho com.
panics woro called upon last night to send
anything to Mr. Wechsler's house.
Mr. Hossinan, who recoived tho parcel,
says that tho messonger was short and slim,
and about 20 years of age, but he took no
particular notico of him and ho
is so nearsighted that he is
afraid that he would not bo able to idontify
the man. Tho messenger asked for no ro.
coipt, but hurried off as soon as ho had placed
the parcel in Mr. Itossman's hands.
Tho fragments of the box which contained
tho deadly explosivo wero on Supt. Oamp.
bell's table at Brooklyn Pollco Head,
qurrtors this morning. From the heap of
splinters romaining the box appears to have
been only about oleven inches long, fivo
inchos wide and three inches deep, a remark,
ably small space in which to put three pock,
etbooks and a machino of such terrible
powor. The top of the box was
furnished with a Blido to which
was affiled a steel spring. At tho lowor end
of tho spring was a sharp, jagged pieco of
steel which, when the ltd of tho box was
pushed back, was forced against tho explos
ivo substanco and thus brought about the
catastrophe.
NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS.
Tho box and its oontents wero scattered in
such small fragments that as yet only a par.
tial idea can bo obtained of the
composition of tho machino. It Is
known that tho box contained manv
fragment of metal and glass and some power
ful acid in liquid form. Thore aro no traces
of gunpowder or dynamito, but Oapt. Mo
Kelvoy found a remnant of what he believes
is an exploded piece of gun cotton.
No. 213 West Fifty-eiehth street, given
as tho address of Louis B. Swift,
tho man who wrote the letter
accompanying the parcel, is the rear of
Hotol Gladstone. No one in tho hotel knows
a man of tho name of Swift or anything
about the parcel delivered at Mr. Wechsler's
house.-
John A. Lanney, the wagon builder, moved
from 415 West Eighteenth street threo months
ago and cannot bo found.
Mr. Woohsler and Mr. Abraham have been
in business together in Brooklyn for the past
twenty-two years. They employ 1,500 porsonfl.
They nave nover had any trouble with their
employees, and, indeed, do not come

he is a liberal and kind-hearted man who
makes no enemies.

WAsnixoTON, Oct. . The Supremo Court Jus

case. Nothing can be learned definitely as to
whether they have reached their conclusion or
when they will announce their decision. It is be

They do not venture an opinion as to the result.
General belief Is that the court will deny the writ.

tVSEEE? H E mystery " which
J) $ pervaded the atmos.
phero of tho Western
Union Building this
A morning was so intonso
2v3 as to bo oppressive.
Even tho features of
tho sombre elevator
boy in tho roar as
sumed an aspect of
unusual obscurity, and
tho'clerks and messen
gers scorned to fool
the unwonted import
ance of tho oocaslon.
Casual visitors to
tho offices upstalrB
were startled at inter,
vals by tho sudden appeoronco of a slim,
black-bearded littlo man rushing to and fro
through the corridors and up and down the
stairways, apparently engaged in tho moBt
urgent business, and paying not tho slightest
attention to thoso who stopped and gazod
after him with interest as ho flow along tho
hallways.
It was at tho top of tho third floor stairway
that a reporter of tho Evknino Would en.
countored this apparition shortly before noon
to-day, making n nasty rush from tho Presi
dent's office of tho western Union Company
to tho offices of the Missouri Paciflo on tho
second floor.
" Is it truo. Mr. Gould," said tho reporter,
" that you sail this afternoon on tho Urn
bria ?'
" I thought all tho newspapers had fixed
it," roplicd tho littlo man with a smile.
" But it is not yet known certainly that
you will go."
" Well, wo must'nt count our chickens bo
fore tboy aro hatched," was tho evasive an.
swer.
" But you have engaged passago on that
vessel, havo you not, and intend to go on
board?"
" So they Boy, but if a whirlwind or a cy.
clone should como up, then you know it
would be better to bo ashore,'' and with a
mysterious relaxation of his features he let
himself into his private office, and closed the
door gently but firmly between himself and
his interlocutor.
Mr. Gould spent Inst night at Irvington,
and came to town early this morning, accom
panied by his son Edward. He called first
at his house in Fifth avonpe, wharo he re
mained awhilo and then went to, his offlco,
'wKereueto'uslea"lilmBclf all tho morning
settling up bis affairs.
' He left tho Western Union building short
ly after noon with his son George, and took
a carriage for parts unknown. Several of
his clerks announced to inquirers that ho had
gone for the day, and said that it was gener
ally understood that he would sail on tho
Umbrla.
At the Cuuard wharf this morning the un.
certainty as to the movements of tho Wall
street wizard was just as pronounced, The
officers of the Umbria professed total igno
rance as to whether Mr. Gould would sail,
and the ohief offlcor doclared that he hod
not seen it stated in tho morning papers.
Ho would not have known that Mr. Gould
was expected to be a passenger on the ves
sel. Mr. Gould's baggago arrived at tho wharf
early this morning and was placed in tho
care of the baggage-master, but not put on
board. It comsted of six small flat trunks
of plain and unpretentious exterior and com
paratively new, and three well'battered Sara
togas. The former wero identified by plain
'cards attached to their handles, bearing the
inscription, "Jay Gould, care Capt. Watson
steamer Umbria, stateroom," while the cards
on tho three others were the same, except
that they wore consigned to tho hold.
To a reporter Capt. Watson, of the Umbria,
said at noon to-dayi ' I have no positive
knowledgo that Mr. Gould will sail to-day.
He has engaged no rooms definitely,
and it is not true that the seven
staterooms which some of the news
papers crcditod to him, wero actually en.
gaged. The only definite thing about it is
that his name is on the list. His baggage,
which arrived here vory early this morning,
come with the instructions that it was not to
be put aboard until further orders. No fur
ther orders have yet been received, and you
see it is still lying out on the dock. How.
ever, I don't believo there is much doubt
about his going."
Apparently there was not muoh in tho mind
of Mr. Gould himself, judging from the
freedom with which he has recently talked of
his plans for his trip abroad. Ho is
to be accompanied by his wife
and tho other members of his
family, with the exception of his two elder
bons, who stay here to take charge of his
affairs, and he thinks that he will not be
away more than throe or four.months. He
will not stay in England any longth
of timo, but will go right on to
meet his yacht either at Gibraltar or Mar.
seilles, and will spend the greater port of the
time cruising about the Mediterranean. He
will go to Constantinople and the Bospborus,
and also visit Alexandria.
If be has time be will go on a voyage of
discovery up the Nile, and visit some of
the historio localities of Egypt. Tho reason
that he does not care to travel ex.
clusively in Europe is that he visited
the Continent and did a good deal of sight
seeing in 1879, and the lazy lifo aboard his
yacht on the Mediterranean he thinks will
be just the thing to build up his worn-out
nervous forces.
Counsellor DeLonoey bos sent a letter to
Dlstrict-Attoruoy Martine, protesting
against allowing Jay Gould to
depart for Europe on the Umbria
and holding him re sponcible for the failuro
to arrest Mr. Gould on the orimlnal charge
tn connection with the Kansas Pacino
securties. To this Mr. Martine re
plied to-day, that a careful consider,
atlon of the preliminary question of law
had aroused grave doubts as to the success
of a prosecution of Gould, and he did not
feel warranted iu causing his arrest.
No order of arrest to prevent the departure
of Gould has been issued in civil proceedings,
according to Order of Arrest Clerk Martin, of
the Sheriff's office.
At 2.05 Mr. Gould went on board tho Um
bria with his family.

Tho sharp report of a pistol startled Uio
rcsidontn of Thirty-eighth street, between
Sovonth and Eighth avenues, last night nt
12.80. Windows flow open and oyos with the
sleep startled out of them looked forth to see
if anybody had been killed.
Policeman Nicholas Ulich, of tho Thirtieth
street station, was on Soventh avenuo whou
ho heard tho oraok of tho pistol, and ho ran
in tho dlroctlon of tho sound. II found a
youug woman, neatly droBsed, with a startled
oppression on her iivco and a smoking six
shooter in her right hand.
Sho gavo Out weapon to tho policeman
without auy resistance aud ho took nor td the
station-house. Hitch saw two men hurrying
towardB Eighth avenuo, but nobody was hurt
apparently. Tho woman said Bho was Edith
Hall, twenty-three years old, tho wifo of
HonryT. Hall. Sho said sho lived at 312
West Thlrty-Bovonth stroot.
Mrs. Hall was arraignod in tho Jefferson
Markot Court this morning before Justice
Gorman on a charge of corrving concealed
weapons. Sho pleaded guilty nnd was ad
mitted to bail in 9300, which was furnished
by hor husband.
Mrs. Hall said that sho had simply tried
the pistol to see if it was all right, that Bho
did not flro at anybody.
An Evknino World reporter called on Mr.
Hall at 63 Broadway, where ho is clerk in a
broker's offlco. Ho is about thirtv-olght
years old, parts his hair in the middle and
wears an eye-glass. Ho wasquintand straight
spoken, though ho seemed a littlo ner our.
" I was out of town last night," ho said,
" and did not return till this morning, when

sho might bo out lato, and ho
slipped the pistol into her pocket.
Sho was not aooustomod to carry
a pistol. Sho scarcely knows why sho put ft
in her pocket then.
" When sho was coming homo sho put her

" Thon you do not think sho fired at any

"I am suro sho did not," said Mr. Hall,

HARTINGTON WODLD NOT STAND IT.
Inalde Iteoaona for the Remarkable Change
In the English Uovcrnment'a Policy.
SVECUI. CABLE TO THE EVEHIKO WOBLD.J
London, Oct. 29. These reasons aro given
for the remarkable change in tho policy of
tho Government: Tho Marquis of Hart,
ington complained to Lord Salisbury
that , he was bearing the brunt
of the battle while he (Salisbury)
was resting in France, and ho insisted on the
Premier's return. As soon as Lord Salisbury
arrived in Loudon the Marquis drovo to Ar
lington House in an ordinary hansom-cab to
escape notice, and had two hours' confer
ence with tho Premier. He showed how the
country was going over to Gladstone and in
sisted that unless the proclaimings were
stopped in Ireland and the polico quioted in
London, he would reopen communications
with Gladstone and orrango some plan for a
settlement of Home Bulo and domestic ques
tions. Lord Salisbury asked for time to consider.
He consulted with Sir Miahael Hicks-Beach,
who counselled him to follow Harrington's
advice. Ho thereupon instructed the au
thorities in Ireland to stop the proclaiming
of the League meetings. Ohief Secretary
Balfour, raged, at being thus baffled in his
efforts to show what a strong government
in Ireland could do. Home Secretary Mat
thews at the same time was directed to givo
orders that tho police cease their brutal
treatment of tbo London crowds.

(tLb U"U ArSSeand st or stood side
by sido for throo hours listening to tho ar
raignment of tho political maohlnos
and tho sway of tho bossos. The
speeches of Wheoler H. Pooh,
ham, Carl Sohurz, Ellhu Root, Joseph H.
Choate, E. Ellery Andorsou and Josoph
Pulitzer, created tho groatest enthusiasm and
each speaker was constantly interrupted by
applause and cheering when happy and
offectivfl points woro made.
Thero wero, perhaps, twico ns many Demo
crats hh Itopnblicans present, but they forgot
their party afllllations, and all wero united
for Nicoll and Martino, good government
ond tho overthrow of tho local political
dynasty aud tho district despots.
Tho gathering was composed of men who
do not usually attend political gatherings.
Thoy woro voters who aro not owned by any
fiarty or boss, nnd who at tho coming elea
iou will cast their ballots as American clti.
zona who wish to protect tho fair fame of the
city.
The only officeholders who attendod the
mooting wero Assistant District-Attorney Am
broso II. Purdy and Assemblyman Mulry.
Mr. Purdy said ho had just droppod in to soe
what tho meeting amounted to. "It U im
mense," he added, "thero is no doubt about
that. Tho pooplo are all strangors to mo ex
cept tho lawyers."
When Mr. Purdy was asked for whom he
intended to vote for District-Attorney ho
begged tho qttostlon.
Assemblyman Mulry served in tho last
Legislaturo as tho representative of Tam
many Hall and the County Democracy. Ho
said that ho has had enough of boss rulo
when it dictates the nomination of suohaman
as Col. Fellows in preference to DoXancey
Nicoll. "Yon rdn say that I nm with
tho peoplo in this fight," ho contlnuod.
" Tho bossos havo bowled. mo out of a ro.
nomination becauso I expressed my honest
opinion at tho Tammany Convention. Thoy
now wish thoy had taken my advice."
WAOE-woruums out in ronor.
Thero were thousands of wage-workors at
the meoting, and thoy w ero as enthusiastic
for Nicoll and Martine as their rioher fellow.
citizens iu tho audienco, The prosenoe of
such numbers of workingmen shows that all
are enlisted in n causo to protect life, prop,
ertv, liberty and justice
Tho prominent citizens and business men
who signed tho cnll for tho meeting wero
astonished at tho outpouring. Hundreds of
tho signers wero nnablo to gain admission to
tho hall and romainod outside or wended
their wuy upstairs where two overflow meet
ings were being held.
It was tho unanimous opinion of all pres.
ontthatas a representative Citizens' meet,
ing. combining people of etery political
faith, its equal was never seen In this oity.
The vast audienco cheerod and oheered at
every mention or reference to Tub Would,
whilo the mention of tho names of the news
papers that are supporting tho bosses and the
nooaiers was received witu msses loud and
long.
Tho great success of tho Citizens' meoting
was known all over tho oity before 10 o'clock
last evening, Those who camo too late to got
nearer the hall than tbo stairways, returned
to their section of tho city and told of the up.
rising of tho people. Tho Dosses of tho County
Democracy heard of the size of the revolt
and woro moro frightened than over. They
woro in solemn conclave at the New Amster
dam Club, whore scouts came hurrying in to
iufonn thorn of tho great throng that was
assembling to protest against their dictation.
It is suid on the host authority that several
of tho bosses aro favoring the withdrawal
of Col. Fellows from the ticket. There
is no doubt that last night's meeting
has already had its effect. It would not sur
prise many peoplo who havo had talks to-day
with County Democracy and Tammany Hall
bosses if on effort was made be
foro Monday to got Col. Fellows to
withdraw. Thero appears to be some
foundation to a statement that strong
influenco is being exerted from Washington
and Albany to accomplish this object. The
friends of Gov. Hill say that he was very
angry at tho stupendous blunder of tho local
bossos in nominating Col. Fellows against
tho wishes of tho truo Democracy and publio
sentiment.
FELLOWS MUST WtTHDBAW.
The members of tho State Committee who
are not representatives of Tammany Hall and
tho County Democracy are unanimously in
favor of Col. Fellows's withdrawal. They
will not admit this publicly, but they do
urge such a courso in private con
sultations. Members of tho com
mitteo who represent rural districts
say that if Col. Fellows remains on tho
United Democratic ticket it will cost tho
State ticket thousands and thousands of votes
in their sections of tho State, and that the
succoss of the Republican State ticket will
bo assured.
Republican campaign speakers are using
tho nomination of Col. Fellows for all that it
is worth. They havo forgotten about tho
tariff question and make their theroo tho
Democratic bosses and tho rule of the
boodlors in tfew York.
There was a rumor downtown this morn
ing that Mayor Hewitt and ex-Mayor Cooper
wore thinking of asking or advising Col. Fel
lows to withdraw. Another rumor was that
Boss Power nas to resign his snay in tho
County Democracy. Tho friends of the boss
denied this. Thoy said lm u ould cither rule
or ruin tho County Democracy.
The Tammany Hall bosses would only bo
too pleased to hear of Col. Fellows's w ith
drawal. The Tammany Hall nominee on
tho County and Judiciary tickets are in a
great state of trepidation. They fear that
the entiro union ticket, with tho exception of
Mr. Martine, will be defeated if Col. Fellows
stays on it. . .
Demoralization nnd disorganization
threaten both machines. The candidates for
the Senate. Assembly, Civil Justiceships and
Board of Aldermen aro determined to bo
elected and will not allow the unpopu.
lor union ticket to defeat them. A huge ma.

OltEAT ENTHUSIASM rOB NICOLL.
An Evenino Wonxn reporter talked with
some of tho prominent gentlemen con
nected with tho Independent mot oment and
all agreed that tho meeting last evening gavo
indication of tho succors attending Nicoll's
nomination.
William E. Curtis, chairman of tho cum
mitteo, said : " Tho meeting was as sincoro,
as large and as euthusiastio as I havo over
scon. It was particularly gratifying to Mr.
Nicoll, and ono of tho many assurances given
ua that our candidato for District-Attorney
will be elected."
Henry B. B. Stapler, of tho Exooutive
Committee, said : "Tho 'meeting was one of
the most enthusiastic gatherings of citizons
held in New York in recent years. It demon
strated that tho peoplo are with Mr. Nicoll,
and evidenced as well that he will bo triumph
antly elected District-Attornoy."
Joseph O. Auorbach saldi " If tho friends
of Nicoll sco to it, that all who favor his
election deposit their ballots, his election is
beyond a doubt. The meeting last night
indicates, if meotlngs indicate anything, that
popular sentimont and popular opinion favor
his election, and, with these two necessary
indorsements, that election is assured,"
-EkD. Schuylor, through 'Widso ngenoy
rooms 23 and 21 at Cooper Institute wero
thrown open for tho overflow meetings, said :
"It was tho largest and most enthust.
astio crowd ever scon nt any pub.
lio meeting. Indoed, tho officers in
charge of tho bnilding declared they never
saw its equal. It denotes tho general feeling
among all classes of citizens towards Mr.
Nicoll to bo moro than favorable, and with
this assurance his succoss )n November is
certain."
L. Ell wood, whoso pen Is always busy at
tho headquarters, said : " While I was not
at tho meeting, the reports received from it
are most encouraging and give assuranco of
Mr. Nicoll's election. The emphatic indorse
ment given him thero was an indication 'of
tho sentiment of the people toward their
young candidate, and foretold plainly the re
sult of tho election. It meant Nicoll's sue
cess."
Mr. Starkweather, who is an earnest worker
at headquarters, said tho meeting was ex
ceedingly gratifying to the workors in Nicoll's
causo.

A HEAVY REGISTRATION. IH

Election of De Lancoy Nicoll. n!
i f lTaiH
This Is tho last day of registration. H
Tho reports from tho places of regietry'BH
show an unusual Interest is oelBJJH

tho books woro opened ' this morn aaaa
ing in all tho uptown districts aH
thero wero long lines of voters awaiting tajkSH
be registered. John J. O'Brien says -thatxH
every indication points to a veiyiSLH
largo registration, nearly equal to WM13BH
of tho last presidential year. ,,JH
This is particularly noticable. ho says, in ,. H
tho districts inhabited by merchants, clerks. gH
lawyers and Germans, all of whom aro at- 9Lb1
tractedtothe polls by tho excitement, ere- . SlM
ated by tho contest for District-Attorney. B
Tbo heavy registration, Mr. O'Brien thinks, " ifM
means a powerful vote for Do Lancey Nicoll- yH
and, tho ohief of tho Bureau of IH
Statistics added, " De Lancey Nicoll 'will be- ,'JB
olocted beyond the shadow of a doubt. Mea
who generally let on off-year election go ( jSbH
by default, aro registering this year, ftH
and tho business men intend to cave ''JM
a voico in saying who shall represent them is '
tho District-Attorney's office. That's what -jjyM
this heavy registration means." , jt
The number registered for the. three days VfffiJH
foot up 100,154, as against 196,123 for the first VSB
three days of 1886, 172,635 in 1885 and 208,317 .! gfl

The registration is almost up to tha 4H

a falling off in tho Second, Third and Eighth ;J-S1M
