though it has been the field Of many
hard-fought political struggles, Indiana
has never witnessed such desperate
contest a. that closed yesterday, and il is
not at all strange that the Democrats
should have been wildly jubilant at this
day and night Is the addition to the re-
turns received confirmed the judgment Of
the sanguinc ones last night, that the
state had been carried by good round
majority.
At this hour even their victory is 30
well assured. both by official returns from
more than one-halt the counties Of the
state and scattering reports from nearly
half the precincts OF the remaining coun-
ties that the question is very clearly re-
dnced TO the simple one of the amount Ct
the Democratic majority. Nevertheless,
Intensity OF interest in the result does
not seem to have abate at all. and the
vicinity of HE committee headquarters
continues thronScd with people. The
bitterness Of the campaign in some meas
IRE account, Tor this continued anxiety
giving to the smallest details unusual in
tcrcst, bu, it i, ina great degree due TO
the singular manner in which the Repub-
lican committee has persisted. in the
face OF facts, IN denying their defeat.
whilst there i best reason To believe the
leaders of that party had
GIVEN TT ALI HOPES.
Last night or early this morning. A, the
remark ot Gen. Harrison, and telegram
from the chairman at the state committee
to Xii latrick, clearly indicated. But any
public avowal of this feeling was persist
emily refrained from, and the crowds who
hung about the Republican headquarters
were constantly assured that the state
bad gone Republican.
our correspondent visited the private
room where the Republican committee
was canvassing the returns about an hour
ago and was freely told that the Demo-
Gratis would have two or three thousand
majority. Just as he was leaving the
room. however, the crowd was brazenly
assured from the window of the same
room that the result would be directly
contrary.
1t must be apparent that this singular
effort TO conceal the true situation has
some purpose. and there is much reason
10 believe that IL is intended as cover
tor
CONTEMPLATED FRAUDS,
Which are relied on TO reverse the result.
Having failed TO get in the vote of the
negroes colonized in the city, the count
OF the votes in wards has been DELAYED as
much as possible. with the deliberate in
tention to falsify some of the returns. if
that can be done without detection.
The Democrats are on watch. how
ever, and are confident they will fail in
any effort OF that kind.
That the Republicans have made bold
and INSCRIPTIONS attempts a. frauds
throughout the entire state, there is the
strongest sort Of evidence TO prove.
messenger was dispatched late last
night from one Of the precincts in Mont
gomery county and arrived tonight, re.
potting to.the Democratic committee that
one OF the judges, Republican, had
been caught
TRYING TO STUFF BALLOTS
In box, having ten in his hand at the
time he was detected. That precinct re-
turns considerable Republican majority
and will undoubtedly be thrown out.
nv VI tilf lJtllDtTdlt pre-
vented most OF the frauds which had
been projected, however, and this was SO
strlhinSly the case in this city that the
Democrats even thought they
had carried it for while
last night. That was an un.
reasonable claim, as the city and county
are strongly and unequivocally Republi-
can, having gone DEMOCRATIC but once in
ei2lileen years. The Democrats are now
satisfied by the Indications that they have
reduced the average Republican majority
IN TINS county nearly two-thirds, and en-
terrain no fear that they can be cheated
out OF that gratifying victory.
