200 votes from the Democrats is reported III the
careful Republican canvass just completed
The SOUTHERN COUNTIES IN LINE.
All the information | get from the Republicans OF
Southern Indiana is exceedingly encouraging.
Everywhere hear of gains and nowhere does any
one know Of the loss of "A single man. e We have
hundredfold better organization in this county and
in the adjoining County of Clark" said
member of the Floyd County Commit
tee to-day ethan have ever had
before We know we have made heavy gains. We
are now having second canvass made The nrst
came out so well that we disrusted it little and
wanted it verified. The second is just as good.
These river counties, you know. are heavily Demo
cratic. We are going to cnt down their majorItics
in way that will astonsh them. If our folks are
doing AS well III the Republican counties. Porter's
election Is certain"
"Are you not apprchensge of an invasion from
KentuckyP
A part of our work consists in guarding against
thisdangcr We watch very closely every suspicious
looking fellow that from the other side of the
river The other day n party of rough customers
crossed at the ferry and started into the
country in an old rckety hack. We fol-
lowed them to our county line, and notified
the committee in the next county TO look ont for
them. They undoubtedly going to some
point in the interior to vote"
Speaking of the election law, this gentleman
said If we had good safeguards against fraud
ulcnt voting as have against false counting we
should be fortunate. Still, recent change III the
law will help us a good deal. AS it formerly stood
when a man was challenged on the ground OF non
residence he had to- have the affidavit OF free
holder that he lived i'll the precinct. The Demo-
Gratis used to deed a square yard of land to some

then disappear with them after the election, so that
he could not be found for prosecution for perjury
Now the man making the affidavit must
be a householder and must have been one for a
wear preceding the election. person owning n
house cannot we'll skip out and is not likely to
make "A false cath. With vigilance in identifying

euping them at the polls VIC shall keep down this
| addition 10 the Democratic vote to very moderate
dimensions"
Before the Maine election the Republicans here
hoped to gain nearly the entire GreeubacI vote.
| The Greenbackers all down upon Landers. They
regard him as a renegade, and eager to accom-
plish his defeat This they felt disposed to bring
about by voting for Porter, but when the news
came Of the unexpected of their brethren in
Maine they began to think that the rag
babyD was not dead after all, and that
their party might yet become the party of the
future Then Weaver came along and urged them
TO stand by their ticket. His speeches throughout
the state have no doubt caused 5000 Greenbackers
TO resolve to throw away their votes on Gregg who
had about made mp their minds TO vote for Porter.
Although Weaver is nanlfestly damaging the Repub-
cans, the stupid Democratic newspapers have
started story that he is in the pay of the Republi-
| can Committee, and are blackguarding him every
| day.
