The Elections.
INDIANA.
More Favorable Returns for the
Republicans.
The Democrats Yield Everything save
Governor.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 10.-The returns received
up to noon to-day are more favorable for the
Republican State ticket. The Reps claim SOC
majority on the entire State ticket. The Denis.
concede the election of the Republican State
ticket except for Governor, claiming small
majority for Hendricks. The official vote is
coming in very slowly and will require almost
the entire vote in order to arrive at the result.
In Carroll County Hendricks majority is 45.

roe gives 40 Rep, maj; Warwick, 800 Dem.

Ldter-Official returns from 80 counties, and
reported majorites from countless and esti-
mated majorities in counties not heard from,
elect Hendricks, DEM, for Governor by from
800 to 500. The balance of the State ticket is
probably Republican. Mr.. Hendricks runs
ahead OF his ticket in almost every county. The
Republicans have majority of in the Senate
and in the House of Representatives certain,
reports from the 9th Congressional district elect
Shanks, Rep. This will give the Republicans a
net gain of 2 district Congressman and a fair
prospect of electing both Congressman at large.

AT IL o'clock the Republicans concede the
election of Hendricks by 800 majority, but
claim the Congressman at large, the Lieuten-
ant Governor and the balance of the State tick

Gen. Ewing ExcuIpates MIR. Blaine.

COLUMBUS, Oct 1O.-The State Journal will
publish tomorrow a correspondence between
Hon. James G. Blaine and Hon. Thomas Ew-
ing, Jr., in reference to the recent charges as to
the alleged contract made with Speaker Blaine
by Gen. Ewing and Col. Stone for nearly two
millions of stock in the Leavenworth, Pawnee
and Western Railroad Co., afterwards merged
into the Union Pacific Railway. Gen. Ewing
closes as follows:
''My general knowledg, of the business of
the company, and especially my intimacy with
you, make it certain you could not have had
any contract with the company without my
knowing the fact, and unhesitatingly declare
that you were not in any manner, nor at any
time, directly or indirectly employed by the
company, or in any way interested in it or its
affairs, as stakeholder or otherwise, in any Ca
pacity whatever. Your brother, j. E. Blaine,
at that time clerk of the District Court, at
Leavenworth, and one of the early settlers of
Kansas, was owner of $40, 900 of the stock in
the I.eavenwOrth, Pawnee & Western Railroad
Company, which indeed was held very general
ly among the influential men of all parties
along the line of the road in Kansas. But that
was in 1861 or 1862, and a considerable period
before you were ever nominated for your first
term in Congress. Beyond that, there never
was at any time the remOteSt interest in the
company held by any member of your family.
The entry of 81, 100000 of stock opposite the
name of Blaine was therefore wholly fiction
or blunder, and the grave imputation on your
character and that of the officers and agents of
the company are utterly groundless and with
out shadow of justification L am informed
that Gen. Slime is now in Europe. He will
doubtless take occasion when he learns of these
charges, to speak for himself about them. So
far as any knowledge of the affairs of the COM
pany goes, deliberately assert, that it never,
by any of its officers, agents or attorneys, made
any contract, the proceeds OF which there was
reason to believe were to be in any manner par
r ticipated in by any member of Congress or any
other public officer aa I'D ~ = % = q cd.

PEAKS IsLAND.-Yesterday afternoon the
Committee on Laying out New Streets went to
Peaks Island to examine the surveyed location
for the new street the front side of the isl
and, prayed for by the inhabitants thereof
The new avenue begins at the eastern bounda-
ry of James w. Brackets land, near the up
per end of the island not far from the cemete
ry, and runs through the bowling alley, on
curve, and thence nearly ON a direct line over
the now travelled way to the point in front of
the new school house, passing in the rear of the
Seaside aud Union Houses. The road is 213 IL
rods in length, and the petitioners ask that it
may be laid out at least sixty feet wide, though
some of the land owners desire that a portion
of it may be reduced to a width of thirty feet.
The route is feasible for road that will be in
expensive to build, as there is enough material
on the line to build it without borrowing or
waste, and the highest grade will be but three
feet to the hundred. The engineers estimate
of cost is about 5000, and it is not anticipated
that there will be any land damages. The peo-
pic Of the island do not ask to have the road
built at present. but desire that it shall be loc-
ted and serve as basis for a survey of build
ing lots. The demand for sites has been very
brisk the past season, and we are told that had
a road been laid out more than fifty lots could
have been disposed of. The demand came from
summer visitors who have been charmed with
the place and desire to build summer residen-
ces there The increasing population on the
island has been quite rapid, especially since the
establishment of steam communication with
the city at all times of the year. The taxes col
lected there amount to not far from $500 annu
ally. and it is reasonable to believe that by ;
judcious system of public improvements tbs
island will become populous and thrifty par
of the city within five years. The people arr
energetic and wide awake and propose the com
ing winter to improve their social advantage
by a course of lectures and musical entertain
ments.
