New YORK, Oct. 11.-A Tribune saws:


New YORK, Oct. ia Tribune says:
Indianapolis, Oct. LIS p M -Returns from
254 towns received by the Associated Press
show the ratio of the Republican gain as COM
pared with the October vote of 1872 which if it
prevails throughout the state, will elect Harri-
son by over 1000 majority. But the same re-
turns compared by the Associated Press with
the vote of 1874 produce an average gain of on
ly 10 IN town which would fall 5000 short of
overcoming the Democratic majority of 1900
in that year.
There has obviously been laundering some
where, and it is possible that only an official
count will determine the result There is, how
ever, no important difference between the total
net Republican gains ON the vote of 1872 re-
ported at the Republican headquarters and
what the Democrats figure up
Boch results establish an average gain to a
precinct, which will overcome Hendricks ma
jorty aud elect Harrison. The consolidated
returns received by the Republican committee
show net Republican gain of 1925 on the
vote of 1872
