The campaignRRT TlHhta Republican Outlook
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The political
excitement. as the Indiana election draws
near, is beginning to grow with each
passing day. The Republicans, and the
Republican national committee here are
jubilant oyer information just received
that the Democratic leaders in that state,
Hendricks, Mcdonald and English are
at loggerheads. 1t appears that from a
recent Democratic poll of the state things
are not at all satisfactory. The vote has
not come up TO their expectation. In ad-
dition to this, English says that the ma
tional Democratic committee has not
furnished the money they prom
Used, and If the state is lost it will
be owing to bad management of the ma
tional Democratic committee in with
holding the needed funds. The men,
bers of the national Republican commit
tee here say that the report afloat that
Republicans for week past have been
raising fabulous sums of money, are all
bosh. While the Republicans are hope
full of carrying Indiana, they are not
over-sanguine. Should Indiana be lost,
and even Ohio, to the Republicans, the
leaders still claim that Garfield will be
elected by the vote of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut.
A DEMOCRATIC DISCOVERY.
The Democratic members of the ma
tional committee claim that they are in
possession of certain developments of
Republican management showing that
what is called a "stiIl hunt" has been in
progress in two of the states of the south
for some time past. These two states
are North Carolina and Florida, and It
is alleged that the probability of secur-
ing their electoral vote is included in
the calculations at Republican head
quarters. 1t is also claimed by the Dem
ocrats that the Republican managers are
quietly at work to secure a few mem.
bers of congress from the southern
states. 1t can be stated that the Repub-
licans do expect to carry Florida, but
have no idea of carrying North Carolina.
They propose to take advantage OF Dem
ocratic discussions in several congress
sional districts in the south, where two
Democrats are running by nominating
Republican. Among the districts
good fighting chance are not less than
three in Virginia, two in North CARROLL
ma, two in Tennessee, one in Louisiana
and one in Florida, two in Georgia and
one in Texas. In a number of these dis
tricts two Democratic candidates are in
the field, and in the others the Demo
cratic discussions are such that IL is cal
culated the regular candidates will
come quite short of polling the full party
vote.
A New Point of Attack.
