THE NEWS FROM THE OHIO ELECTION.
Thousands of Jubilant Republicans Last
Night-Great Interest in the Result.

The interest in the result of the Ohio election
was so general and absorbing yesterday that
business suffered very greatly from it. All day
crowds surrounded the bulletin boards down
town, anxious for the most trivial news Early
in the day a rumor became current that deadly
riot. was in progress at Cincinnati, and
this augmented the excitement here, so that the
sidewalks in front of the newspaper Offices, where
the bulletins were displayed were so crowded as
to be almost impossible for pedestrians. Specula-
tons to the probable result were freely INDUCED
in, and various predictions were made that were
so rash and wild as to excite much amusement
Comparatively little betting was INDUCED in, as
early in the day the Democrats virtually con-
coded Republican success.
Last night the crowd down town was i'm
mense. The returns from Ohio were displayed
on the north and west sides of the Postoice
building, on large canvas banners, on which the
figures were thrown by powerful calcium lights
from the Journal Office and When clothing store.
By 8 o'clock fully three thousand people
were in the vicinity, and two hours later the
crowd had increased to probably ten thousand
In the interval between the bulletins, various
comical pictures were displayed on
the transparencies, and J. Kankakee Martin
took advantage of the opportunity to
gorgeously advertise his railroad line. The
when" band entertained the crowd with ex-
cellent music and the Blaine and Logan Central
Glee Club sang several campaign songs from the
balcony of the Journal Office and were obliged to
respond to 80 many encores that they were
finally compelled to desist from sheer exhaustion.
The earlier bulletins indicated very close cleo
ton, but when they began to show decided Repub
lican gains, the crowd began to yell and continued
their vociferous demonstrations until long after
midnight At IL o'clock, 400 or 500 men began
marching about the streets singing, marching
Through Georgia, John Brown" and other
patriotic songs, and hundreds of small boys
played discordant accompaniment on tin
horns and other narrowing devices. A large
flag was hoisted in the street, and the crowd
marched around it for nearly half an hour,
singing ''Rally Around the Flag" Such
scene of wild enthusiasm is rarely seen in
Indianapolis, and has never been surpassed.
The Republican State central committee tempo
rarily transferred their headquarters to the
Journal editorial rooms, and during the eve
ming Secretary Kitchener was in receipt of hun
dreds of kilograms from all parts of the State,
making anxious inquiries about the result in
Ohio.

At the Democratic headquarters.

The Democratic committee-rooms looked lone
some and glomy in contrast with the scenes at
the Republican headquarters at the Journal
Office A silent and detected group were gath
cred in the only room that was open to the
ley, Austin H. Brown and half dozen other
Democrats were locked inside the private Office
were all received through hole in the door, and
a peep on the inside resulted mournful-
looking group. The gloom deepened
with each fresh arrival of news,
public while Chairman Henderson, Secretary Ri
and when message came from the chairman OF
the Ohio committee, shortly after 10 o'clock,
conceding that the Republican majority would
probably be about 10000 the little hope that
had been twinkling family in the Democratic
heart f1ickered into the darkness of despair.
About IL o'clock Journal reporter, recollect-
ing an interview in which the Democratic chair
man had given him the earnest assurance that
Newman would be elected by aplurality of 7, GAO,
called at the rooms and sent in a private
note to Mr.. HENDERSON, inquiring about
the aforesaid Mr.. Newman's prospects. An an
swer came to the door, written feebly and with
strained effort
"T640"
Mr. Henderson quickly followed the note and
explained that there was more courage than
anything else II those ckly-looking figures.
Haven't got nervef" asked the Democratic
Eyes, and you need it," soothingly answered
the reporter.
Mr. Henderson looked very tired-like a man
with no home, no nothing.
Sincerely, what are your advices from Ohio,
and what do you think the Republican majority
will bel"
"Ohio has probably gone Republican" Mr..
Henderson answered, ''by from 10, 600 to 10000 "
"How about West Vriginia9"
1.-THE Republicans have made an average gain
of about seven in each precinct. and as it would

TIN tired. Come around and see me some
time We will continue in business at the old
stand"
We'll carry Indiana by q, 0OO," remarked the
chairman, as he shook hands with the reporter,
on parting, land we will carry New York, and
we will carry-carry-" The reporter carried
himself away.

NOTES.

The Greenfield Republican pays Mr.. Rollins
the following compliment Our gallant presi-
Dental elector, Hon. T. S. Rollins, had one of
the largest meetings of the season at Charlottes-
vile on last Saturday evening, and we venture
made the best speech he has made in the cam
paign The speech was a splendid, manly effort,
and has done great good, and placed Mr.. Rollins
in the front ranks of stump orators"
Evening News: The very latest, and it sweeps
the platter, is a challenge by Alfred Harrison to
Fred Douglass TO meet him in joint debate Mr.
Douglass will probably pay attention to this
independent bantling, but in all likelihood with
in a week Harrisons friends will be chirruping,
Fore de Lord, Douglass was 'fraid to meet him
on de stump Such debate would be like a
mouse tackling John Martins st. Bernard

he was frequently interrupted by applause.
