Special Dispateh to The CAteAgo Tribune.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 9.-Bastne cal-
cnlatfon upon the evidences before us, In
diana is morally sure for Porter next Tues
dav, aud reasonably certain for Garfield in
November. The evidences are detection
from the Democratic ranks, both openly aud
quietly, which is not confined to localities,
but is a marked feature: throughout tha
State; strong reyulsfon Of feeling, result
ing from clearer conception Of the princi~
piles involved in the tariff question; the en-
thusias,n and spirit of prudent confidence
which pervades the Republican ranks: 70
peated failures Of Democratic demonstra~
tions in different parts Of = the
State, and the desperate sEalts
in campaign lodges to which they have been
! driven Another reason for this faith is tha
thorough organization Of the Republicans In
eve&y county, and lax management among
the Democrats Hera and elsewhere this
Republican discipline will bring out full
vote and insure q; fair election Every iite-
gal voter is spotted as soon rs he lights.
Men will be at the. polls who will know
whether the profered votes are legal Or not.
The Republicans: are quietly; confident. the
Democrats not. SO ,demonstTative as they
were. In-South Bend and other: manu-
