A DEMOCRATIC DAY.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 5.-This has
been Democratic day altogether Thou
sands OF people from every section oil
the State have united in a great out
door demonstration and are carrying II
far into the night. Ii was the means OF
bringing together the local leaders and a
general consultation with the state com
mittee and comparison OF votes on all
sides. Tho Democrats express them
selves "a we'll satisfied with the situa-
ton, ami seem TO place much reliance
i'm these local reports. The only disaf-
lection OF note is in New Albany, where
I.anders is being desperately fought by
some OF his own party. The fact Is,
however, that Landers is confessed to be
very weak, and Democrats openly say
thar he could not be elected IN any year
but this. Hancock and party exIgency
will pull hlm through ii he gets through
M all. The belief is general that Han
cock will easily get from 5000 to 5,O0O
more votes than Landers. 10 Is upon
this weakness Oi l.anderS that the Re-
publicans are pretty generally baSIng
their hopes. They calculate the margin
will be so small for the Democrats on
the better and more popular part OF
their ticket that Porter viii he able tu
pull in ahead OF Landers, though the
rest OF the Republican ticket may be de-
iratoi. This, they feel, would give
them the moral effect OF the victOrv.
Indiana Must DO Carried.
1t does not seem likely, however, that
Lauders is going To run behind, as IL
Ca:cuIatcd The Democrats have been
made To understand that they are not
rlpctiny l.anders Governor merely, but
that they are electing Hancock President,
and they cannot afford to lose Indiana
next week. This feeling mas been
helped along by eX Governor Hen
dricSs, who probably does not care the
snap OF hts finger for Landers. IL Is
only through the sincere efforts OF
Hendricks and Mcdonald that the or
ylnization oi the p,Tty has been saved
from complete demordlizltion. English
AMI I.audrrs could scarcely have rallied
enough followers to make a torchlight
procession, but Hendricks and McDOn-
alb, with less conspicuous leaders, nave
directed the party's attention up over
the heads oi EngllSh and LanderS Mr.
Hendricks has not only been on the
STUMP almost without rest, but he has
Personally Appeaed by Letter
10 nearly every Democrat IN the State.
This has been the most effective single
work. From this time forward it Is just
a question oi money. The Democrats
undoubtedly have the advantage of
thousands in the situation as 1t appears
to both sides, but money may change
that, Purchasable citizens 10 not lie
around quite as loosely and numerous
a. they have been further east, but
there are a great many such and both
sides will have more or less intercourse
with them in the next six days. The
Democrats are entirely confident that
they have the State in their grasp, but
they are conscious that it's within the
range OF possibility for it to be bought
away from them. They claim this can
ba done only il the Republicans have
five dollars 10 the Democrats one. This
they have not, aud their rCsOulces on
the spot don't compare with those OF
the Democrats, for Mr.. English's bari,
though leaking little tardily, has be-
gun u lrsk. and will probably continue
to- do So as long as the Democratic can
dl.la,e ior Vice President can See no
o,hrr wav out OF it. He wants To beg
oil ON $50, 900, and NAV he able to do 50
il the Republican bar'l doesn't roll in
too solidiy. 1t doesn't look as II 1t
would.
The Moaey Question.
Ex-senator Dorsey, who is managing
the fund, complains that the party Is
hard up. The immense funds that weIc
ryprCted have not come, and Chairman
Jewell got 50 worked up about Onlo late
Iast week that one al his money bearers,
with funds intended for this State, was

Detectives Watching Rspeaters.
Nearly all the detectives in the en-
plov of the Federal Government are
here watching Democratic repeaters,
while a lot oi Baltimore and Chicago de-
tec,iyes are on the trail of the Republi
