YLEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, A visit to the headquarters in the Grand Union Ho- tel of the republican candidate in this district 1s sulll cient to convince One that the canvass is being con- ducted with uncommon geal and activily. Mr. Sol Smith, the gentleman in charge, said yesterday that the prospects were very encouraging. They took the precaution several days belore the last two days of registration to sead out circulars to the voters of the district telling theni the last days for being tered, the places of registry and tue places for voting, There had to be eighty-six different sets of circulars printed corresponding to the eighty-six election precincts im the district to accomplish this, The effect of thus apprising the people who live in brown stone houses up town, and don’t care to regis- ter because they don’t want to be put to the trouble of finding out the Board of Registry, was to largely increase the registration among a class Who are sure to vete for the republican nominoe, ‘The increase Mr, Smith calcalates atten percent. The canvass is curried on by both sides 1p a chivalrous spirit, and while controversy rages high there 1s litle or no ill feeling.
