INDIANA IN NOVEMBER.
Inc VIII Go Democratic by Not Less
Than 20 900.


she VIII Go Democratic by Not Less
Than 40 900.
Indianapolis special to Chicago Times.l
So ends the big fight in Indiana.
The die has been cast for Tilden in
November, and there is every reason
to believe that with this prestige of
an October victory the State will go
Democratic next month by not less
than 10000. This is an estimate
made by Governor Hendricks. He
saws that Harrison commanded far
more strength in Indiana than
Hayes can, and more no doubt than
any representative Republican in
his State could have done. He has
run ahead of his ticket. Next
month there will be no scratching of
Tilden among the Democrats.
He will bring out the entire
strength of the party as
registered for Secretary of State
NeR. The German vote, which
was partially averse to Williams be-
cause the Republicans had repre-
sented him as incompetent for the
position, will be almost solid for
Tilden, not only because such argu-
ments are lifeless in his case, but
because they want reform. That
issue will win them as a class.
Again, the Democratic indepeD-
dents, having seen the folly ofthrow-
ing away their votes this time, will
return and swell the Democratic
tide, while the Republican indepen-
dents, finding no promises of fnan-
cial relief in Hayes and the hard
money platform of Cincinnati, will
look Tor comfort to Tilden and the
st. Louis pledges. Finally, there
lis the strength which always ac.
crues to the victorious side, and il
this State it represents = floating
vote Of about 5000. Governor
Hendricks is confident Indiana vii
verify his figures in November, i
no efforts are relaxed between thi
and election time.

conveyed to his home, where at last

of mills, furnaces, &c. Many good

ment, and while the exhibition has
given and will give work to large
number of persons, still the supply
already far exceeds all possible de-
mand. Great destitution exists in
the, city, and those coming there for
work only increase it. No one
should go to Philadelphia unless he
has a direct promise OF work.
