Indiana.
NEW YORK, Oct 12.-There are but one or
two special dispatches in the morning papers
which contain items of election matter addi-
tional to what was telegraphed to New Eng
land last night
The Times indianapolis special contains the
following: 1t is still undecided who is Governor
of Indiana, but the chances are with Harrison.
There are, however, some things which are GER
tain. One is that the whole Republican ticket,
except possibly the head, is defeated. Harrison
is universally conceded to have run ahead of
his ticket. With the exception of Allen coun-
danger was feared have been heard from, and
that up tosthis hour none of the strong Repub-
lican counties have been reported.
The returns of the city are not yet all in, and
chiefly because ex-State Treasurer Ryan is max
Idg disturbance with view to prevent any
completed, and thus secure the throwing out OF
the entire vote, which is largely Republican.
This will not work, however, and Marion coun-
ty will give Harrison 1900 majority at least, and
that of itself should elect him. Forty-seven
counties show a net majority for Harrison of
gain 731 to be elected.
These figures prove that if 'sBlue Jeans" car
ries the state at all it will be by majority
largely under the majority of Hendricks in
1872, but such Republicans as Friedly, Hollo-
way and others, kno wing the state thoroughly
believe that not antil the official returns are re-
ceived can it be said with absolute surety who
is the next Governor of Indiana. In Congress
the Republicans make great gains.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 12.-The Legislature is
largely Republican. In the last Legislature on
joint ballot there were SO Democrats, "a Repub-
licans and Is Independents. The Republicans
have gained at least % members.
The returns from 1896 townships and wards
in So counties give net Demo cratic majority
of 1874. The same places in 1872 gave net
Democratic majority Of 50. The counties from
which nothing has been heard gave Hendricks
a majority of 3130.
INDIANAPOLIS, Q p. Unofficial and semi
official returns from % Democratic and q Re-
publican counties give Harrison for Governor
5O62 majority. In the remaining % Democrat
ic counties and IA Republican countless Hen
bricks received in 1872, b971 majority. Harri-
sons gain in the counties heard from over the
vote of 1872 is 547.
Complete returns from "a counties, nearly all
of which are official, give net Democratic ma
jority of 1921. The remaining counties gave q
Democratic majority in 1872 of 1887. The cOun-
ties to hear from are Benton, Clay, Crawford,
Harrison, Terry, TlRe, spencer, sullivan ana
Switzerland. Complete official returns may
swell the majority to 1000.
NEW YORK, Oct 1.-THE following despatch
was received at the Democratic headquarters
this afternoon:
Indianapolis, Oct 2.-3.3O.-Our majority is
increasing. 1t may reach 10000.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12-Another special to the
Times from Indianapolis says that yesterday
up to noon the Republicans were gaining by
q rom frnU q Of of lint
from that time to the present the Democratic
gains continued to grow until they foot up
total of nearly 900 over the vote of 1872. The
decline has been gradual and steady, and al
though the Republicans have not get given up
the state, the chances are in favor of the Dem
ocrats They are claiming the state by 5000
majority, but it will require an official count to
determine the result.
In the northern part of the state the Ger
mans voted largely against the Republican
usual Democratic majorities were increased by
voters imported from Kentucky. The Phila-
delphia and Baltimore gangs of repeaters and
strikers were distributed through the state,
having been driven out of this city, and the re-
turns indicate that they got in their work quite
effectively at some points. The greenback vote
affected the Republican party greatly, immeas-
urably more than it did the Democrats, and
had it not been for that detection Harrison
would have been triumphantly elected by TO-
600 to II 900 majority.
In other respects the election is quito cheer
ing. The Republicans have reversed the Con-
gressional delegation, which will stand nine
Republicans to four Democrats. Nor ton G.
Hunter in the 9Th district was reelected by
about 800. The Legislature is also Republican
and will be the means of putting into execu-
ton many needed measures.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 12.-Another error has
been discovered in the counting, this time in
the sixteenth ward of this city. The correc-
ton puts Matthews back to his first standing.
If Matthews is elected, the gain will be seven,
and the delegation will stand fourteen Repub-
lcans and six Democrats. The delegation
now stands thirteen Democrats to seven Repub-
lcans.
Later returns show the election of John
Howard over McMahon in the Fourth Congress
