a conference with them. They say
they have no means Of determining g

elective district returns, and that they
will onI y take such steps as may be
necessary to protect the party's in
terest during the progress of the
count, and that to this end their

canvassing boards next Tuesday.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 7.-On
the basis of the latest official returns
reported, Indiana has given demo
cratic plurality of $500, and the re-
p0OiISCgu SLClLC CClLLIdl cOu-
cedes this much. The democrats
claim 1900 majority.
The excitement over the result in
Indiana ceased today and all centers
now upon the news from New York.
The bulletin boards have been sur
rounded all day and republicans were
somewhat incl1ued to glue up the
contest. But many still pin their
faith to success from the official count
andishouts for Blaine are almost as pro
nounced as those for Cleveland. The
jubilant democrats have arranged for
jollifcation meeting tomorrow
night on which occasion the speakers
will be Messrs. Hendricks. Mcdonald
and Voorhees,. Goveror Hendricks
has received a great many congratu-
latory telegrams to-day and has been
busily engaged in receiving and en-
tertalning callers, among whom were
many republicans, who were his per
sonal friends. An associated press re-
porter found him tonight in conver.
satlon with a number of politicians,
Senator Vorhees among them. He
was ia an apparently happy frame of
mind, expressing himself as satisfied
that the democratic candidates had
been elected. He had nothing, he
said, 10 add to what had already been
expressed by him for the past day or
two respecting the election. The cx-
element of the last three nights is
beginning to tell on the people, and
the crowd upon the street to night
is much smaller and less demonstrat-
i've. There are no bulletins
displayed anywhere and affairs are
beginning to resume their normal
condition.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Rumorsgare
current Late tonight that Jno. P.
Davenport and Jno. J. O'Brien have
