Hancock Gets One in Indiana.

Increase of vote In New York.
Special TO ENPoRIA DAILY NEWS
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The most sur
prising results appear from a further ac-
quaintance with the election returns of
this state. A careful analysis of the
vote polled in the state at the last cleo
ton shows, contrary TO what has been
charged heretofore by the defeated par
ty, that there was no illegal voting. The
increase IN the vote is simply due to the
remarkable increase of the pop
ulation since 1876. This and the
fact that seventeentwentieths of the
entire vote WAS polled, which Is
an unusual proportion. accounts
for the increase In the vote Of the state.
There is no ground, under the analysis
mode, for any charge of fraud. This
charge was entirely premature.
Bodies Found

BRIsToL, Va, Nov. 20.-Great excite
ment prevails here over the finding of
the bodies OF James H. Brown, and his
clerk, in q terribly mapgled condition.
Brown was a prominent merchant of
this place. No clue has been found as
yet 10 the perpetrator of this double
murder. The affair has cast gloom
oyer the entire community, as the vic
tins are highly esteemed citizens.
How About Indiana's Stupid Blunders3
Special 10 EAPoRIA DAILY NEWS.
a q
State Shanklin has asked to have the
election returns of the sixth district COL
lected and re-counted. II will be re-
membered that the canyassing board
made startling discovery few days
ago to the effect that the vote of Mont
gomerY county, in the eighth district,
has never been certified to or called for,
and the board could not therefore receive
1t. By this worse than stupid blunder
Garfeld's majority was reduced from
400 to 3,771.
The only thing that prevented the state
being counted for Hancock was the fact
that the Sixth district came TO the front
with 1000 Republican majority. Now,
Mr.. ShaIklin desires the recOunting OF
the vote of this Sixth district. We shall
see what We shall see.
