lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
INDIANAPOLIS. oct. g.-Thc fears Of serious ont
break at the polls produced unexpected and re-
markahe result to-day. 4 number of the rcpeatcrS
and roughs imported by the Democrats from the
East, who left town on Saturday, returned last
evening and others, who It was supposed had also
been frightened away, came out of their retreats
A dispatch was received from Chicago stating that
a gang had left there to operate here and at other
poiuts This information excited the Republicans
to such degree that it seemed impossible TO avoid
a collision of the imported roughs, should they show
themselves at the voting places. On the other hand
the Democrats believing the reports in th}r news
papers Of the bringing in of negroes TO vote the Re
publican ticket, had come 10 look upon every coll
ored man with dstrust, and the dangerous elements
in the party in such state Of mind that there
was great reason to fear an attack upon tine blacks
in the precincts where they are numerous. The
prospect was therefore exceedingly .d.squieting
With hundreds of armed Democratic Tuiliars in the
city for the express purpose of committing fraud
with Republican citizens determined to meet force
with force and guard the balo-boXcs at all hazards
and with the Irish breathing tEreatcnings and
slaughter against the negroes, tomorrow promised
to he a day OF violence and blood.
This afternoon the Democrats were sensible
enough to hold out the olive braach. The overture
properly came from them, as they had brought in
the Eastern bruisers and caused the arrest of the
police for interfering with them. Gov. Hendricks
came forward in the role of a pcaccmakcr and pro-
posed an aTmistice and peace conference. The Re
pubcans promptly accepted, and "a o'clock II

Gratis in the Governors Office. After a session of an
hour a treaty was agreed upon, and tonight il is
