Chances Of Congressman.


INDIANAPOLIS, November 5.-The active
public work of the campaign is about over
and Monday will be devoted to rousing
rallies at doubtful points, with view to
STRENGTHENING weak kneed voters by the
display of force, and winning them through
the desire of vacillating men to go with the
crowd. Opinion on the result is very wide
" divergent and owing to the element OF
uncertainty in the contest any statement
of the result cannot be given with definite

what will be the falling off in the vote
as compared with that of two years ago.?
'Then there were polled 474,000-a very
large number. The ordinary increase
should bring the total number in the State
this year up to 400, 900. If the vote falls
short of 1000 we shall not have accom-.
plished that which We set out 70 do, and
the Republicans will be defeated. 1t is
question of the vote purely. Every vote
over that number will be to the advantage
of the Republican candidates

been in the city for some time assisting in
the management of the Republican cam
paign in his old place as Secretary OF the
Committee, said: The campaign this year
cannot by any means be compared with
that of 1874. Then we could not get people
out to the meeting by any lnducement.
Speakers came back and reported that they
had nobody to talk TO. 1t was impossible

in politics would accept as in any way sat

At Republican headquarters some doubt

that he would be returned by the majority
of Tippecanoe county. As the Democrats
concene that by over, 800, his chances are
still good. No change was entertained re-
specting the chances in Heilman's, Peelle 8
and Calkins' districts. The fight is
conceded to be close, but the expectation is

show. The election of q majority OF the
Legislature is claimed.

the managers were found much more ready
to put down figures On the State ticket.
A majority of both Houses of the Legls-
lature is confidently claimed. OF the Con-

Cobb, Stockslager, Holman, Matson, Peelle,
Lowry, and Winterbothan is assumed as
certain, and the assertion is made that
fighting chance exists for -.
