THE OUTLOOK IN INDIANA,

THE OUTLOOK IN INDIANA.
The indianapolis Journal of Thursday says:
sit is far from our purpose to generate in the
minds Of Republicans any false hopes rela-
tive to the results of the November elections
in the State, but we can assure them that
the skies are Frightening every day. We are
in receipt of advices from different parts of
the State of the NEST cheering character.
The steady tide of popular sentiment which
was setting SO strongly in favor Of the Re-
publican party before the election was but
temporarily arrested by that event, and is
still rolling forward. We say to our Repub-
lican friends Throughout the State that the ell
ements are favorable for a triumphant reycr-
sal of the October verdict in November.
Everything depends on getting out a full Re.
publican vote. That done, we may conf
IDENTIFY look for sufficient increase from other
quarters to carry the State for Hayes and
Wheeler"
THE NEW YORK CITY CAMPAIGN.
REPUBLICAN CONFIDENCE INCREASING
A DEMOCRATS REPORT OF THE sITUA-
TION IN NEW YORK STATE.
The New York Post says that the Repub.
cans ct the Fifth avenue headquarters on Sat-
urday were in the best of spirits. The con-
viction is now positive that victory is within
the grasp Of the party, and that nothing but
the persistent energy shown during the past
week is necessary to secure for the national
ticket and for the State ticket in New
York handsome majority. From all the
speakers who are in communication with the
National Committee come the most inspir-
ing tidings. The failure of the Democratic
party to make good its promises Of an agress-
i've campaign has proved, it is said, to be ter
ribly damaging to its prospects.
Secretary Chandler said this morning that
the Republicans were by no means alarmed
about the large registration. The officers
whose business it is to apPrehend offenders
against the election laws would be vigilant
enough to to prevent frauds, and if the State
prisons of New York were not large enough
to hold the repeaters and FOUNDERS arrest.
ed, the Government will employ the prisons
of other States in which to lodge them.
The prospect of success in New York State
appears brighter every day. The visitors at
headquarters from the interior counties say
that careful personal canvass is now max
ing, with documents and by discussion, and
that care is taken to reach all doubtful men,
ana convince them of the Importance of sup
porting the Republican State and National
tickets.
Many of the visitors at the Republican
State headquarters were officers of uuuni-
formed organizations, who came to inquire
ABOUT the parade which is to be held Oh Fri
DAY evening OF next week. The preparations
nave already begun, and it is promised that
the turnout will be very large and handsome
in appearance.
Democrat who formerly occupied an Of
ficlal position under a leading candidate, and
who was opposed to the nomination of Gov.
Iiiden at st. Louis, has recently returned
to this city from tour OF the interior coun-
ties OF the State as an occasional correspon-
dent OF Democratic newspaper. In con.
yersatlon with reporter OF the EUensng
Post he said that honestly he believed the
race OF the democrats in this State was
losing one. He said that he was heartily
sick OF Dragging for men and measures so
thoroughly unpopular as those put forward
by the Democratic party. OF the alarm Gre
ated by the recent documents sent out by the
Republicans, he said that nothing the Dem
ocrats had done through their bureau had be-
gun to affect the masses so deeply. The re-
port of the ''accessons'' of Republicans to
the Democratic party he admitted was cam
paign joke, that had not accomplished the de-
sired effect and had been generally aban-
doned. In his opinion the result of the cleo
ton would be that all the old Republicans
would be found voting for the Republican
State and National tickets, and the Demo
Gratis would hold the vote which they had
polled in years prior to Tilden's election as
Governor.
The visitors at the Everett House and Lib
erty street headquarters up to noon to-day
were not many. While great confidence was
expressed by most of the Democrats present
in the success Of that party in this State,
there was no disposition to claim that Tilden
would be elected. The fear was expressed
by one person who is intimately acquainted
with the workings Of the party that Mr.. Til
denis last letter would fail to secure the re-
action that it was expected to produce,
