INDIANAPoLIs, oct. 4.-Thcro Is one
prophecy which may be INDUCED without peril
to a reputation for second sight. There VIII
be In Ohio and Indiana fuller vote cast than at
any previous election. In each State, and now
hardly less IN Ohio than Indiana, enthusiasm
IL universal and efforts unstinted. Ordinary
| daily business seems to he merged into political
| discussions and attendance upon gatherings,
addressed by domestic aud foreign orators.
The East and West arc each represented in the
wandering missionary and the perpatctlc col
| porteur. II is wonder that people listen with
such seeming Unsuitable appettos for talk.
Tho Sentinel Of this morning has three col
| umns OF announcements OF meetings in the six
| days now Intervening before the voting.
The result ncod not he anticipated when the
event Il so near. Aside from the labor Of speak,
ing, and the assembling Of crowds, there has
| been the more valuable diligence in the quiet
duty Of private canvassing the statistics of tho
vote. The Democratic State Committee In this
most i'm portant task have been earnest and thor
ough in execution, and the results are Almost
assuring exhibition Of party strength.
| Doubtless the other committee nave been
| equally assiduous. The Indications arc very
pronounced, however, that their confidence In
success is now impaired. There are whispers OF
discomfort between Sttink Bull and the chairman
| OF his committee. The importation of Blaine and
Ingersoll did not content the chieftain, nor did
he spare his expressions OF complaint. At any
rate Blaine has been deportod to Ohio and Bob
| Ingersoll no longer wakes the echoes Of the
| church or the groves.
| Dlaine's diatribes grow fierce In manner and
more bitter and aggressive in utterauce. He is
stag at bay, and woe to those who come In
contact with his vicious antlers. In mis- despera-
ton he strikes wildly and becomes incoherent
| In bis wrath. His attack on Charles Francis
| Adams, at Cincinnati. IA evidence Of his eating
| the insane root which takes the reason prisoner
| Tho testimony here Is that he has not helped
| the slowly dying cause in Indiana. nor has lnger-
soil won back any Of the erring greenbackers
or the disguised Republicans who have strayed
| from the fold.
Carl schurz. too in influence. has been second
to Pulitzer aud sigel. The Teutonic citizen Is
| heavily in revolt In all Of tho settlements where
the German is in almost noiety Of population.
| The promise Of the soldiers reunion to-mOr-
| row Is now auspicious. IL the weather fulnls
| its promise OF to-day. the attendance will more
than double that OF the late Republican drum
ming together Preparations for their entertain
ment are upon large scale Of generous hospital
| ity.
| Not much advocating a perpetuauon Of mill
| tary organizations to gain consolidated in
nuence Ia civil affairs, we arc compelled to
| follow the precedent Of our adversarles. The
| Centennial Dix owns the patent right OF this
revival VI the army and the camp. and the
| counter action on the other side was a necessity.
1t was a pleasure, nay, an honor to be a fellow
traveller with Gen. Burnside. whose stirring elo-
cution was initial to an assembling OF the blue
liveried at Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday. War
and the pursuits of peace have placed their
marx on the Adonis Of the Senate and the
| Achilles nj "a L.,
his long travelling costume the hue OF his
under garments, hut his face establishes his
sympathy With the zealot. In depth of color
and intensity Of hue, the Generals visage
requires no coroborative testimony Of his SYM
pathv Of feeling with Blaine and Butler.
1t would have been possible impertinence to
have suggested topics for his exhortations TO his
brethren OF the musket. To those attracted by
details % battles and sieges, m account Of the
attack upon Fredericksburg, under his COM
mand, would have startling incidents. The re-
treat through East Tennessee would also be rich
IN narrative.
Gen Girtled. too. was a co-worker, and in
default Of original matter could have collated
extracts from a recent letter addressed To him
by he Hon. Jeremiah 5. Black. There Is also a
campaign pamphlet, Reasons why James A.
Garfield should be ia the Penitentisry instead Of

be conceded until the counting OF tn, votes
In the Tenth District there Is an expectation
that the Hon. Charles Foster will he beaten. but
we may leave this with other doubtful problems
for solution after next Tuesday. There is some
significance in the fact that the German voters
are now visited 10y oppTohrous epithets from the
Grant men. which may ,trcngt on the belief in
their imputed supper, Of the Democratic ticket.
| Ia Indiana the claim II the Democratic state
Committee on Members 4 Congress is the First,

and sixth will DO probably close. aud ia the
Seventh the election of the Republican is very
ikely to be the result while the twelfth will
ne pretty surely Democrats. This will he six
Democrats and i've Republicans, with two dis
tricts uncertain.
As there is no election Of Senator the I,eglsla-
ture Is not SO closely watched. The rreenbaclS
detection, which Will not much affect the state
voting, II believed to be In favor u the Dana
Gratis. Inc proportion Is estimated To- be two If
the Republican party To one Of tho Democratic.
There will be but a small reserve vote in Ooto-
Der and the benefit of soft money will inure to

Ia the local Grant organs here, as all through
the country, the personalities Of the canvass are

Hayes Administration, the qualities Of control
