FROM tnc new YORK Herald.
INDIANAPOLIS, md, Oct. 4, $780,
l am just in from Richmond, whittier
L went with company Of jolly In
dianapolisians to witness Roscoe Conls-
ling's initial effort in Indiana. Tho
Tuckcrtown of Richmond was stirred
TO tho coro; all the region round about
poured in its hundreds, and from
dawn to midnight tho piercing fife and
tho rattling drum kept time to the roar
of cannon and the cheers Of thousands.
Tho afternoon meeting was grand
success. Maynard and Pitkin spoke
at length, and the crowd was most
dcmOnstratiyo.
MIR. Combines RECEPTION AND SPEECH.
Senator Conkling did not participate
in that, arriving latter. His rcccption
was worthy Of him. lie spoke this
evening to an immense crowd Of cn-
thusiasts, who chccrcl him to the echo.
He looks well and bore himself very
courtcously. lie took the boys by the
hearts trings from tho first and was
really in ono Of his happicst moods.
llc spoke at the first political mcctinr
ever held in tho new Quaker church.,
which was built for their yearly meet
lngs and can accommodate between
five thousand and six thousand people.
1t was Il grand audience and an in
spiration in itself. After tho meeting
thousands followed the party to their
station and chccrcd under the blue
vaultcd sky until the Senator bowed
his thankful recognition. Then he
retired TO tho car and the train moved
of. lie reached tho new Oennison
Hotel ut midnight and was escorted
to room No. 1;', which Mr.. j. II. Stud
well, OF New York, vacated for him by
request of Senators Dorsey and Ali
son, Mr.. New, Postmaster ITalloway
and OILERS. Although tatiguel Mr..
Conkling was in the jollicst Of moods
and spent long time in chatting with
his friends. Tomorrow he will pass
here, and will have an opportunity of
looking at the great Democratic turn
out. Tic rests here until tho following
day, when he will go either to Lafay-
cttc or Tcrro Hautc and speak.
TIE DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
Expecting to find Chairman Barnum
J called to-day i'll the rooms of the
Democratic Committee. Flo was not
there; MIR. English, calm, dccorous
and phlcgmatic, sat on one side of tho
table; Senator Mcdonald, bald, beard
less, cheerful and fat, sat opposite.
The much abused Supreme Court
Judge Scott, mNrvcllousiy tall, beard
cd like his pard English and thin as a
rail, made a slim third and Mr.. Flcni-
ing, State Auditor and ate" c0o of
MI. English, completed the Quartctto.
Like their Republican opponents they
arc rather ungetatablc SO far as news
is concerned, but having melted under
tho genial rays Of the Herald, Mr..
English mbosomcd himself so far as
to say:
"Wc shall certainly carry this State
by 1000 plurality. There never was
such perfect organization as now, and
all our reports arc Of the most cncour-
aging nature"
"Why look at it," said Senator Nc
Donald, as Mr.. English rclapscd into
solemn taciturnity. "Our last Dlu-
ralitv was $1,000, and what has hon-
pcncd TO change affairs? admit that
down to the Maine election there was
an uncertain vote Of considerable d.
mcnsions, and it looked to me rs If
the Republicans might get it and re-
ducc our plurality. But look at II.
Maine settled that question. That un-
certain quantity was the Grccnback
vote. Last time they cast 81 900
votes but they won't do 1t again. The
ieaucrs OF the party arc working in
the Republican interest and for Re
puDllcan money, but the rank and file
viii go where they please and we will
have our share of them. l haven't the
least doubt IN the world that we shall
carry this State"
"But," said l, "thc Republican
managers say the same thing, and they
appear to be just rs frank, as earnest
and rs sincere as yourself How do
You account for that ?" asked 1.
"Oh," said the burly Senator, "they
Know better. Why told Mr.. Now
the other day that wo had the State
ana nc knew IT. If they really feel
hopeful 1t isbccause they cxpcctto buy
up voters or bribc inspectors, or do
some kind ofdirty work on election day.
tel YOU VIC will carry this State, ccr-
tam. II the plurality is small the re-
SUIT Will not be known for day or
TWO, but IL il goes with q rush We will
Mo" II early the next morning."
TIE MONEY QUESTION.
Subsequently Mr.. English said sub
stantlally tho same thing, and further
said: :--'Tho Democrats of the State
have raised their own money. They
agreed to take care of the campaign
until the 9th Of October, and have
done so. The Herald has printed
some extraordinary lies about nc. /
Know tho author. lie is Republican
OF this city who has never asked me a
question, and if he had Pm not in tho
habit Of telling newspapers what
money lusc in q campaign; and then,
100, they have exaggerated the i'll
feeling in our committee, and between
Mr.. Hendricks and myself. Why.
they say Mcdonald is hot supportino
me. nc is working with me, and I
placed him where he is."
"But," said |, "you surely don't in
tend to give tho impression that Hen
dricks is working cordially for YOU
personally. You and he arc rivals for
State and National power"
"Well," replied Mr.. English, che is
working earnestly and vigorously and
