like accuracy can be had, for any idea as to
what the result will be on the National or
State officers, while no returns are yei
In from the Congressional dis
iricts At Freeland. Shelby county,
when the polls opened this morning,
polls and drove the Republicans away with
clubs and revolvers. John Smith, Henry

knocked down and beaten, and all He'd for
their lives. The election In this city was
quiet throughout and full vote polled.

Precinct In the Twelfth Ward, near noon to-
day, and then, in company with the Hon.
James II, Rice. Auditor Of State. made tour
OF the polls OF the city. Everywhere he was

| INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4.--At ii O'Clock an
other call was made upon Hendricks. H.
the meantime the news from New York had
| rendered him somewhat dubious as to the
general result and he entered into briel
discussion respecting the outlook OF various
doubtful and disputed States. His informa
tion from New York was not conclusive and
his manner indicated a fear that II had
gone against its Governor. Wisconsin n.
did not think had gone Democratic, though
reduced. The triumph OF the fusion ticke
In Michigan he regarded as quite probable
but these even with Rhode Island, New
Jersey and Nevada, in which Democratic
victories seemed probable or were conceded

the satisfaction OF knowing that have beer
ons inquiries, the Governor has telegraphee
that Indiana had gone Democratic by 5000
but he believes the plurality will be neare
10000.
