INDIiNA INDICATIONS,
sssn Through psmocrntIo sreetaeIes.

Seen Through Democratic SpeotacIes.
The following special dispatch is from tho
Philadelphia Record, firm supporter of Gen.
eral Hancock, but n paper which aims to give
the news as It Is:
INDrANAPoLrs, Sept 27.-Ii anything the
events of tho past ten days have rather added
to the dublousncss of tho situation and the un'
certainty Of tho outcome IN Indiana. The re-
suit of the Maine election, of course, stunned
the republicans. IL was an unquestiOned blow
between the eyes. The enthusiastic democrats
grew wild over it, aud declared with substan-
tinl unanimity that Hancock would now march
to the White House. Their airs aud assniup'
tions, however, offended the greonbackeis,
who proceeded forthwith TO appropriate the
victory to themselves and to figuratively slap
the democrats in the face for their fresh
ness. THIS cooled tho democratic ardor
aud II was still further cooled by the
later election returns showing that neither
party had much to shout over 80 far MS Maine
was concerned. The next step the democrats
took was to pay fast and furious court to the
groenbaekors. Tho detection of Ycagley, the
grcenback candidate for secretary Of state,
ana of Noah w Parker candidate on the same
ticket for state senator, dcveloped Oh Satnr-
day, has already been explained. IL is by far
too late now to effect real fusion of the dem
ocrats aud nationals, aud such transparent
tricks as these feact always on the bargaining
parties
The republicans have taken hope from the
decided evidences of interest OH behalf of tho
industrial classes In tho railroad shops ut
Fort Wayne, in tho plow and carriage works
ut South Bend, aud in the glass and iron
works ut New Albany there arc unusual
political activity aud carnestncss, and Mr..
| Studobaker of South Bend is doing more
| than ho ever did for republican success,
| while Hon. w. G. De Pauw of New Al
| bany aud his two sous, the owners of the
| plate-glass works, and heretofore prominent
| democrats have como out for the republican
| ticket. The younger De Pauw Is making
speeches, while DE Pauw pe'e allows himself
| to be quoted openly and daily as desiring the
| SUCCESS of Mr. Porter in October and the elcc'
| ton of Garfield in November Mr.. De Pauw
is one of the most influential democrats in the
state, and his adherence to the republican
| party Is of general Significance. There Is q
| labor organization in this city called The
Knights of Columbia" which now numbers
| fully 1000. They are nearly all democrats
but will vote for Porter for governor and for
De La Matyr for congress.
| The talk about frauds and impOrtatious still
| continues, aud the democrats claim to be IN
possession of the details of n vast scheme oi
republican colonization of colored men, while
| the republicans are publishing ailidavits to
| prove thaI democrats are seuucluS negroes ny
promises of large wages to leave the state, and
thus lose their legal residence. Both parties
are doing what tboy can to commit and pre-
vent frauds, and the result may be that there
will be a very peaceful and quite election
whio both sides will be in tho market on the
last day to purchase all tho votes that are
then offered for sale.
Ona fair, clean vote and count the republi
cans have tho advantage, aud it would b'
/ .lNun N
plurality aud elect their ticket by n smal
ovcrpus; but as it is, it is like Dundreary'
conundrum- Of those things no follow car
| find cut.
