INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct GA few of the leaders
of the Greenback movement in Indiana are in
great rage over the action of their candidate for
Governor in stepping out of the canvass. Before
Mr. Wolcott's letter was made public its existence
was suspected, and a council summoned last
evening to put up candidate There were only six
persons present, and only one of them member of
the State Central Committee of the organization ;
but these six selected candidate, Judge Har-
rington. This morning the Chairman of the Central
Committee IL. Olleman) is out in a card denouncing
this performance as entirely without authority and
void Persistent effort will be made, with the aid Of
Democratic money to foist Judge Harrington upon
the party IN order to keep it from going to pieces
The attempt may be partially successful, but the
bulk of the Greenback vote held together thus far
by the hardest work, will in the whirlpool of party
strife surging over the State now dissolve and seek
its old party affnties. The best evidence that the
independent movement had got into shape where
it was playing into the hands Of the Democrats is
furnished by the violent denuncatiOns of Mr.. VOL

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 6.-lhe signs OF com-

more numerous and positive. None Of the leading
Republicans here will now admit that tsere is pos
sih,Itv of tbe defeat of Col. Barnes, nor do they
think that he will barely slip through by close
sbave. The Germans of this city have come mp
soIidlv TO his support. He will be scratched some
NV individuals here and there throughout the State
bnt there is no combined detection and it does not
appear likely that he viii run moro than 1000 votes
bebind his ticket The enthusiasm and earncstness
shown in the canvass during the past week in all
ouarters has advanced the general estimate Oh the
maturity the rest of the ticket viii have from 5000
70 10000. and many put the figure as high as
IL 600 The Democrats are still exceedingly active
and well supplied with money. The Republicans
of Cincinnati made their closing demonstration be-
fore the State election tonight in the shape OF a
torcblight procession exceeding in briliancy any
thing of the kind ever seen Ill this city. Over 5000
uniformed men marched in line. The number and
variety of the transparencies burlesquing Demo-
cratic reform was a noticeable feature.
