n, 1856 ; Cleveland, 73, 4l9 Hawn, Rep,
for secretary Of staIe, 6S,170; Meyers,

Mr.. Il. Henderson, chairman OF the In-
diana Democratic state committee, tele-
graphed at noon, Thursday, that Indiana
has surely gone for Cleveland.
Gov. Hendricks telegraphs that Indiana
is Democratic by 6,Oe0.
West Virginia surely Democratic,
West Virginia is As sure for Cleveland
as Texas. As in October, the Associated
Press has sent out the grossest misstate-
ments of fact aud has attempted to make
this state doubtful. The latest and most
reliable information is that Clevoland's
majority will bs not less than 600 gain
Of 8 600 over Hancock's majority in 1880
After the state campaign the Fusionists
abandoned all hopes of carrying the state
aud poured their money into the First and
Fourth congressional districts, where the
Democratic majority was small. The
result shows RepubI can gains in these two
districts and Got, Republican, is probably
elected in the First. The Second and
Third show heavy Democratic gains 10 the
counties reported aud rs in October, the
Democratic counties are the last to report.
Cleveland has carried every county In the
state aud his majority will range from
4 800 to 5000.
