A sharp watch is beng kept on the movements of

these champions of Hanc0cks' " tree vote and fair

them To do a great deal of mischief. The feeling on
the suljac OF this raid on the Indiana balo-boXes
bv hired strikers and thieves from Eastern cities is
so strong here that there is talk OF public meeting
OF citizens to protest against the outrage.
A GRAND FINAL RALLY.
To-day the great closing demonstration Of the
Republican campaign took place here. 1t had
donhIe character for 1t was national gathering of
veterans of the Republican soldiers belonging 10
the organizatIon known the Boys III Blue, as we'll
as a mass-mecting Of Republican voters. The affair
was in all respects q great success. Among the
ve.crans present were visiting delegations from
Michigan Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri. ONO. Penn
sylvanIl New-YOrk, the District OF CoIumbii, ken-
tucky and Alabama. Michigan sent over three hum
dred men. The day parade was never before
eouallcd IN indianapolis. The procession moving
nt brisk walk nearly two hours passing the
new Dsnnison House. 1t about three
times as long the Democratic procession
of last Iuc-Gay and the effect was much
greater as an Impressive display Mr. COnlihnG
Il IL
and Postmaster General Maynard III the circle, and
Emory 4. StOrrs 10 front of the courthouse. The
syr,patbv Of the business men with the Republican
cause was stown by the manner III which their
llocks and buildings were with few exceptions
handsomely decorated with flags and notices, Tho
striking features OF The procession were the long
line of veteran soldiers. all middle aged men now
marching with the firm steady steps which the
lapse of fifteen years has not caused them to
uulcarn In addition TO this feature were the
horsernen. the handsomely uniformed political
clubs and the display made by the manufacturing
industries of the city and the stocl-vards Bar
nuns seven mules caused great deal OF laugh
fer. and an enormous white Garfield Ball. as big as
a atwo-stoiy house. Kept "a-roiine on to the de-
HgAt of the spectators. The torcllight parade to-
upht - the finest Of the kind witnessed here.
Snowy demonstrations are not an assurance OF
success in political campaign, but the Rcpnhicans
feel encouraged by tO-dGy's affair because
Of It's contrast with the Democratic effort on
Tue .day last and because they remember that
some years ago the Democrats surpassed them IN
tie demons traton just before the election. 1t Is
ca ltomary IN Indiana for each party to hold clos
ngray at the Capital and to try to make it as i'm
posing an affair possible The success or failure
of fnc effort makes considerable impression the
voters who are waiting TO which way the
political current setting. There is no
change in the Indiana situation. The Demo
Gratis are confident though perhaps a litte
less so than week ago. The Republicans are hope
fnl. and great deal more 80 than at any time dur
ing the past month Every side is strsining every
nerve 10 win the race. The cOnteet though less
denOnstrauve. is much more closely fought than
was tnat of 1876.
