selves matched in executive ability at least
by Filley, Of St. LOUIS, Das Cameron,
Fowler and ConkliDg. who havs all come
to lend their aid 20 insure fair play. The

produced very decided impression and
mas done much 10 open the eyes of doubt

expected from HANCOCK in case he should
land in the White House. His deter
mined career in favor Of the democracy
when he was ia the south, his forgetful-
ness II MS fsalty 10 his conuand and
the general government, and his anxiety to
serve the unsubdued rebels Of Louisiana
by the most unworthy methods, were so
played by General Grants interview thst

ssid they would carry the state and have
good uorking majority in the legisla-
ture. Senator VOORHEES, fixed the plu-
rsiity between 5000 and 1900. Gov
ernor Hendricks said it would not fall
short Of 10000. and Judge Scott, Of the
Supreme Court, ventured the opinion that
whatever Lander's msjority was, Han
cocks would be double as mucn. Gen.
Franz Siegle states that the uncertain
vote is so large he could give no
estimste, but he thought Lsnders
might get through. Landers e1-
pressed the opinion that Han
cocks election depends upon mine
Unless too much money is used against
US the state ticket will be elected by q
good majority. II / am defeated the
party will make no effort to save the
state for Hancock, 1t would be foolish
to attempt it." VIM. II. English was
very quiaF, and had no opinion to express,
but to NeI0s reporter be said: ''Since
have been chairman of the state commit
tee Rave not received letter that gave
me any assurance of democratic victory
in Incisna." With this remarkable
answer the reporter went to Senator
Conkling who is reported to have re-
piled: "If Nm II. English told you he
hiss every assurance and is confident, The
state will 20 democratic He is q man
who never hunts tumble bees with a
brass band, snd what he tod you leaves
me but little hope for Indiana. His re-
marx was made TO delude, and shall 1
look for him to carry The state" 1t is |
not likely Conkling sad anything Of the
kind, nor is EDglish's answer credited
although it is known that his figures
based on the poll Of the stste show
democratic shortage OF 1000. The above
interviews are Of importance, emily be-
cause they prove that democrats have
no arguments upon which they can base
majority, hence no two of the man
ayers agree in their majority. Il is very
evident, however, that they are badly
ratified.
At the republican headquarters, man
sgers are very happy and confident. All
are al work and nothing seems TO go
wrong. The drift Is with US, said Col.
Dudley 10 the TTi6une's representative,
and we are certain to elect Porter. Tele-
grams have been sent from Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington, asserting
that democratic repeaters and roughs left
there for Indians, intending 20 vote, and
Porter has received letters from num-
Der of persons, several in Cincinnati,
warning him that democrats are iate1d

think republicans are getting ready to
meet all schemes, and unless they get
the better Of Us in large democratic
counties we shall come out all right.
Senator Conkling remarked that all re-
state were very hattering, and be had
large hopes of a republican victory. A
republican bet 81, 600 on Porter's election
lat night. He could get no odds. Gen
eral Lew Wallace, governor Of New
Mexico, arrived in the city to-day, and
will make few speeches 10 the southern
part Of the state Secretary Thompson
spent to-day in Indianapolis. Yesterday
be attended the eastern Indisns rally at
Kingston, where be and Postmaster Ger
e'al Maynard and p. b. s. Pinchback
sll spoke.

lndisns on election day, spending tho
morning here and the afternoon in Terre
Haute, and we will show them that We
have as much money as is necessary, or
as they have" A bystsnder suggested
that he had better have expended little
of it in bis own state. to which Barnum
made no reply.
