Chicago, 10.-TI1les' Columbus: Bot
sides are using money freely; both ar
well supplied. The poll made By tn
republican state committee give republi
cans majority Of Is, 900, while the pol
by the democratic COMMITTEES concede
the republicans 5000.
Times Indianapolis: Republicans O
high and low degree are growing mort
confident every minute. The grand
swell certainly seems 10 be turning thai
way, though for two or three weeks tn.
republicans we're bufeted in the trough
Of the ses.
The Tribune has dispatches from about
thirty editors of republican papers in all
the chief cities of Indiana, and all are
sanguine Of electing the entire republi-
can stnte ticket The majority il Variously
placed st from 8, 900 10 10, 600, and many
of Inc writers give excellent reasons for
their faith. There really seems to be a
revulsion Of fueling as TO tbs probabili-
ties in that state, and it is believed that
only stupsndous ballot box frauds can
prevent republican victory on Tuesday
a few Ohio editors are heard from m
the same vein and claim the state by up
wards Of 10000 majority. All reports
unite in praise of the management OF the
republican campaign in both states.
The candidates were the very
strongest to begin with, and the
chairmen of county committees
have been selected with the greatest and
wisest care Marshal Dudley has made
so scrupulous and searching poll OF the
entire state, that he has list Of $500
repeateTs who are distributed in the
larger cities, and some of whom have
even had the sudacity to go into the
country towns. These men are spo ted
and will be arrested without fail il they
attempt to get in any work, and notice il
Ierved on them that they will certainly
be prosecuted to the extent of the lew.
Inc democrats are attem Dling to lure tn e
.olored people from Indianapolis By
getting 10 twenty-five cents exeursio ms
o Louisville, hoping to strand the ex-
;urslonists there so that they will not ge,
back by Tuesday. The negroes see the
)oint, however, and the excursions are
allure. Senaer Conkling has been
peaking to tremendous audiences in
Indiana, and doing as hard work for the
publican party as any Of lis leaders.
His speeches all now are very attractive,
md powerful as they usually strike the
iey note of local pride and prejudice.
His last eff TT was last ri :ht at La
ayette.
Times: Indians republicans appear

Nth the view to putting q ch eek on the |

'srty appears to have gained about as
auch as 1t has lost. The poll of the |
tate already made by republicans gives /
hem a majority of 25, and it is
aid democrats generally concede 20 per
ent. Of that. a vigorous fight is being |
made in several congressional districts.
there was q very successful democratic |
in Columbus, last night, |
nth procession and two macs meetings. |
The Times Indianapolis gives an SC
cunt Of riot at Shelbyville, Indians,
resulting from an attempt by |
democratic hoodlums to bresk up a /
Meeting which was addressed by General |
Sen. Harrison. At 81 early hour people |
'egan to gather into the city in large |
rowds. A large number of democrats |
Tere on hand, and began to parade the |
treets, yelling "Hurrsh for Hancock, by |
Id" and other similar expressions. |
they tried in every manner to insult the
epublicans and cause fight. By noon
hey became boisterous, sfter indulging |
,eEsn to thirst for blood. Hon Gilbert

4 greenbackers at o'clock, but mob |
# drunken democrats disturbed the |
nesting 10 such an extent that the |
peaker was compelled to stop. This was
N the public square. Soon after fight
ook place on Broadway between . party |
# republicans and democrats. Demo-
rata had been hurting epithets at repub- |
leans and CHANGED to strike the wrong
party of men. They refused to be bull
iozed; general fight ensued, aud repnb-
leans came out first best. It would be
impossible to give a description of the
,ows that took place during the after
loon, as they followed each other
n rapid succession. Democrats
liso fought among themselves.
During the afternoon party Of demo-
cratic rufiAns boldly paraded the streets,
swearing that "no republican should
loller for Garfield" The DULLES were
checked in their threats, however, and
.oon stopped. 1t seems as if the repub-
.icsns had concluded not to be bulidozed
any longer, and the insults were one by
one resented. About o'clock row
took place in Hsrdebroke's saloon be-
tween q party Of young republicans and
democrats. A posse, headed by Sheriff
Albert McCorckle, rushed into the
saloon, and after few knockdowns the
fight was stopped without any material
damage. MCCJTCkle then, it is said,
took Ed. Kennedy, young republican,
who was in the fracas, by the arm and
walked down street. At this time the
crowd rushed up and another general
fight took place, during which two shots
were FREQ, one of which struck Sheriff
McCorekle in the bresst, the ball passing
through the upper part Of his lung, and
glanced into tho shoulder, and, il
is claimed, was fred by, young
Kennedy. The stories are of such =
contradictory nature that it is difficult to
get st the truth of the matter. A man
who was an eyewitness to the occurrence
said, in the presence OF the Journal re-
porter, that he saw MeCorckle fire the
first shot. After he wss shot he was
carried to the residence of r. ID. Flaitz,
where be now lies in dangerous condI-
ton His wound is regarded as fatal.
