Especial Dispatch to the SdrI
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-This afternoons papers
devote large space to dispatches from Indiana
and Ohio. VIM. L. Scott. of Penna., the demo-
cratic manager here In the national committee,
gathers from ex-senator Barnum's dispatches
to-day that the democracy will carry both Ohio
and Indiana by small majority. He says In
diana will be very close, and more doubtful
than Ohio, because republicans have neglected
the latter state to make splendid campaign Ia
Indiana. Mr.. Scott, according to Gen. Dodge'5
statements, privately advises his betting friends
hot TO risk any money on either state. SacTC-
patches to the republicans regarding In iiana,
aGd the accommodating advceS about yesterdays
republican parade In Indianapolis are ali quite
assuring to the republicans.
Mr.. sam. Mediil, editor Chicago Tribune TEL
eglaphs from Chicago Just now that 1t this mo-
lnent the indications OF republican success next
Tuesday ID Indiana are quite favorable. at the
best the result will be close. Republicans he
says can win, however, II sufficient precaution
is taken to prevent the democrats from getting
Id more than an average amount OF bad work.
The following special from Indianapolis was
Just received at the Graphic office: "The re-
publicans are rejoicing over two good signs of
the canvass OF the vote of the young men who
go to the poles for the first time. 1t gives them
an excess of 1900. This was a surprise to the
democrats, who have claimed it almost soiidly
ror Hancock, but who have not looked It UP as
carefully as they have some other things. The
second cause for coDgratulation is found In the
democratic canvass. Republicans have held
back tt cir figures religiously. have seen the
democratic figures, and they only claim plu-
rality OF 5,97O-a heavy admitted falling Off
from the 1000 majority Of two years ago, and
much below their recent claims. A loss OF one
haf OF Per cent from their estimate on the
total vote means certain defeat"
The democrats here have some mysterious
figures regarding the capture of body Of Ger
man votes In Hamilton county, Ohio, and speak
Jubiantly over the news concerning it. Another
dispatch from indianapolis, just received, says:
1.-The fight grows in stubbornness and bitter
ness, and 1t can no longer be denied that both
sides are looking forward to something more
than political contest They are preparing
for bloodshed, and the city. from present ap
IeaTances, cannot escape from riot. How serious
the trouble may become it would not be safe TO
