THE CAMPAIGN In INDIANA.

Indications that Wayne County viii Poll the
Largest Republican Vote Ever Known.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Noy. 1.-The political situation
in Wayne county is very satisfactory to Repub
hcans. The party was never more united or de-
termined to poll the full vote than now. and
Wayne county may be confidently counted on
for an increased Republican majority The
business men and manufacturers will all close
their stores and manufactures on election day
and devote their time to the election, and what
is true OF this county is also true of the entire
Sixth district. The largest Republican vote
ever given will be polled Republicans are con-
fdent and determined. They believe in success,
and are working to secure it. The majority in
Wayne county will Ios be less than $1,000 and 1t
will almost certainly be more
A meeting was held last evening, in this city,
to make appropriate provision for getting the
Republican vote in in good form on Tuesday
There is nothing unusual enough to be note
worthy in this, but there was something note
worthy ia the enthusiasm exhibited Not only
the boys, but conservative, stay-athome bust
ness men were present in large numbers, and eX-
pressed willingness to contribute freely of
their means. to march in the torchight process
sion ON next Monday night, and to close their
places of business and work at the polls on
Tuesday We can read in the signs nothing but
an old time Republican majority in Wayne
county. The canvass closes here with every
thing solid for Blaine.

Correspondence of the indianapolis Jonrnnl.
BRAZIL. Nov. 1.--Nobody pretends ever to
have seen such crowd and so great demon
stration as has been witnessed here to-day, on
the occasion of the last Republican rally of the
campaign Though not bill was posted, nor a
single notice of the affair advertised in any
newspaper, the gathering was the greatest and
most enthusiastic ever witnessed in this part of
the State. 1t had all the appearance of spon
taneous uprising of the people, out of pure sym
patty for the cause. The crowd
in town is fairly estimated at TO-
900 people, not including residents.
The chief feature of the procession was an in
dustrial parade, representing every branch of
business and Industry characteristic of the county
The procession was over three miles long, while
a dense throng of people lined the streets for
over two miles and it really appeared as if the
town was not large enough TO hold the people
At II O'Clock the procession began to move
to the fair ground, where the people we're enter
tanned by speeches by Hons. j. u. Johnston. d.

John G. New, chairman OF the Indiana Re-

New YORK, Oct 20, 1884. :
To Samuel Stittiner, Chairman Democratic Central

ing overlooked the entire ground that will be
contested with any hope of success. have decided
that the fight must be made in New York and

Ohio we are victorious Connecticut and New
Jersey are against us, and Indiana is doubtful

TW0-CENF POSTAGE.
How the Reduction Has Affected the Country
Large Increase in Postage.

WAsRI1SGToN Nov. 1.-The statement has
been generally made in press dispatches that
because of the reduction of letter postage a
year ago there will be q deficiency in the
postal revenues of about three million dollars
in other words that the expenditures of the de-
partment exceed the receipts by that amount
This statement is apt to nislead the public as
to the real effect OF the reduction of letter post
age 1t was expected that the end of the first
year under the lower rate would reveal a def
cheney fully as great as has occurred, but it
was expected that the increase in the issue of
stamps would in time put the department
again upon a paying basis. Certainly the re-
duetion of no other tax would directly benefit
the people as would this of the postal
rates, and with the present surplus in
the treasury, a suspicious time
could not have been chosen to inaugurate 1t.
The average increase from year to year in the
issue Of postage stamps has been eight or nine
per cent, but the past year it has been between
twentyone and twenty-five per cent, and this
includes the average on all denominations of
stamps La the two-cept denomination alone
the increase has been much greater The issue
of postal cards has fallen off largely as a result
of the lower rate of postage, which enables wri-
ters, by the payment of one more cent, to keep
their correspondence private in sealed enYel-
ope, To show how the reduction has affected
business men, it may be stated that the increase
ia the issue of stamped envelopes has been about
twenty nine per cent, whereas the average an
nual increase is only about ten per cent, On the
whole the first year under the new rate, has
been as successful as the best friends of the
tai service could have desired.

THE RAILWAY RATE WAR.
Continued Cutting of Passenger Rates on
Travel from New York to Chicago

New York, Nov. 1.-The New York Central
announces reduction of its frst-class rate to
Chicago to $l3 So and brokers are selling tickets
at $l3 The West Shore road is expected tc re-
duce its rate shortly to $l2 The Central road
has issued circular to its connecting lines
authorizing them to use one cent per mile as a
basis in making their rates between all points
This indicates that the Central people believe
the fight with the West Shore will be- long aud
bitter. Ticket-brokers say they will sell below
company rates under any circumstances. The
West Shore officials say they will adhere to
their policy of meeting whatever rates are
made, and that they can stand the
racket better and longer than the brokers'
Ticket brokers say if the Central persists in not
allowing other roads the dlifferential rates to
Chicago. tickets will be down to So before Mon
day. The frstclass rate is now below the emf
grant rate, but all companies say they will sell
emigrant tickets below frst-class rates.
