Arrival Of Wade and CoIfax,


Arrival of Wade and COIfax.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Wade arrived
last evening and repaired to the residence of
Speaker ColfaS. The latter did not reach here
till this morning. Wade and Colfax had ar.
ranged to come together, but they missed
connection on the way. In conversation with
Wade this morning in reference to the Demo-
cracy Withdrawing Seymour and Blair, he said
he wished they would do so, and he did not
care who the Democracy might take up, they
were bound to be defeated. He said change
of men was not change of principles, and the
people knew the Rebel Democracy too well to
trust them with power.
The Indiana Election.
Colfax received a telegram this morning from
Indiana, announcing Julian's election by small
majority. Colfax says the Republicans had
hard fight of it, as not less than 5000 Democratic
voters were imported from Kentucky, and up
wards of 10000 were naturalized last month.
He considers Hendricks a very popular man,
and IL looked as if he would carry the State.
This induced Colfax to take the stump, which he
would not otherwise have done. He says the
Republican majority in Indiana is upwards of
1000, and in November it will be ten times that
figure for Grant.
He considers the proposition of the Democrats
to withdraw their candidates a virtual sur
render of the contest No matter who they may
take up ColfaX considers Grants election sure.
The House Called to Order.
He called the House to order at IL precisely
when Chaplain Boynton made prayer. The
