INDIANA GLIMPSES.

Republicans are WOTStny-De La A0tyr
and the Democrats.
indianapolis Special to Courier-Journal.l
The Republican campaign programme this
wear is rather odd. It is a "still hunt " in
some places, and noisy shake-up in others.
In strong Democratic counties the Repub-
licans are holding few if any meetings, but
are quietly urging the members of their
party to cote on election day. In some
heavy Democratic counties in the State there
has not been single Republican meeting.
The idea of the Republican managers is that
if they hold no meetings they will not arouse
action upon the part of the Democrats, and
the result will be light Democratic vote
In every Democratic county in the State
the Republicans have joined in with the
Nationals, and have succeeded in getting out
National or Greenback ticket. This ticket
the Republicans profess they will support,
which they will if it promises to defeat the
Democratic candidate for the l. gislature.
Gen. Ben Harrison and the few leading Re-
publican speakers in the State are making
nearly all their speeches in doubtful counties.
Look over the list of Republican appoint
ments in the Journal, and you will have an
idea of the doubtful counties in the State.
The Fourth district seems to be the legisla-
tive battle ground, but within the last week
both parties are beginning to feel as If
| Marion county was well worth looking after
The Democrats sniff danger in Vigo,
Montgomery, Pike, Greene, Putnam, Noble,
st. Joseph, johnson and Clark counties,
| while the politica, condition of Jefferson.
| Jennings, Gibson, Decatur, Marion, Lake.
VanderhGaT1g. monroe and Lawrence is de-
cidedly too much tore up and devilish close
to suit the Republicans. If this election,
which is to come off in two weeks from to-
day, was anything near an even race; the
Democrats would win the fight without much
trouble. AS 1t is, they can afford to loose
but few counties that they carried in 1876,
without they gain at least dozen Republi-
can counties. AS matter of course, if the
Democrats should carry Marion and hold
Vigo county they would carry the legisla-
ture, for, generally speaking, as Marion
county goes SO goes the legislature
The Indianapolis Democrats claim that they
will carry Marion county if the Nationals
poll $500 votes in the county, for they claim
that at least 1000 of this vote will come
from the Republicans. AS the Democrats Of
Indianapolis have been SO unfortunate il
their predictions heretofore, we must accept
their claim with a great deal of allowance
do wish they could carry Marion county
! more for the inward pleasure it would give
them than from party standpoint.
Richard ]. Bright, well known in the State
as "Dick" Bright, is the Democratic candidate
for sheriff. He is immensely popular, has {
splendid personnel, and is 'up'' in the man
agement of a local campaign. His friends
are confident he will be elected, and, in m.
judgment, he stands an excellont chance.
DR.. De La Matyr, the National candidat
for Congress in this district, is making
terrific fight against John Hanna. Th
DEMOCRATS are coming around slowly bu
surely to the support of the reverend doc
tor, and by Tuesday week guess they viii
most all Cast their votes for him. Shout
they do so, De La Matyr will certainly b
elected. On the finances there Il really nc
the toss ola copper between De La Maty
and Hanna. A sound man on the finance
would have to shut his month, tighten hi
lips firmly together and say, "God help us
in voting for either one of the two. BIT
Senator Mcdonald will vote for DR.. De [
Matyr, and Gen. Ben. Harrison will vote fc
John Hanna. ssThus runs the world away.
