few steps was compelled to stop and

Quented route. The rest of the day and
evening he spent quietly at home with
his family. Special precautions have
been taken by Superintendent of Po-
lice Travis to nip any trouble to-mor-
row in the bud. Two patrolmen have
been detailed for duty at each precinct,
and a reserve force will be held at head
quarters for use in an emergency: All
the saloons were closed tonight at
IL and will not be reopened until
the closing of the polls tomorrow. Spe-
cial officers have been detailed to pre-
vent violations of the liquor law. In
structions have been given to the pa
trolmen in the several wards to pre-
serve the peace and they have been par
ticularly instructed not to meddle with
political matters or attempt to lnfiu--
ence voters. They are also required to
promptly arrest all violators of the
election laws. The United States Off
GERS were kept busy to-day making ar
rests for Otfenses against the election
laws. Deputy Marshal Taylor drove in
from Zionsville with John Marsh, a
shoemaker of that place,
CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED BRIBERY
in behalf of the Republicans. Together
with Henry c. Patterson. of Greenfield,
arrested ON like charge, he was ar
raigned before United States Commits
siOner Morris this afternoon and held
in bonds for further hearing next
week. d. w. Pierson, of Franklin
township, was arrested and brought to
the city on the charge OF attempting to
buy the votes of two Democrats, Frank
Williams and George. r.. Miller. He
waived examination and was bailed.
George Kessler, of this city, was also
arrested during the afternoon on the
charge of barboring illegal voters and
was held after preliminary hearing.
Several other arrests are promised for
tomorrow. Considerable of a sensation
was created late last night by the circu
lation of a report that Sim Coy and WE.
A. Bernhamer, who are now serving
sentences at the Michigan City peniten-
tiary for violations of the election laws,
had been pardoned by President Cleve-
land. Originating at the New Denison,
the report spread from hotel to hotel
with startling rapidity. and was dis
cussed by crowds in the lobbies and
groups at the street corners. The
newspaper offices were besieged and
the telephone wires kept hot with in
quiries. One man sent word to the
newspaper offices that he had shaken
hands with the two men as they alighted
from the train at the union depot, while
another had been informed by one of
Coy's neighbors that he had seen him
entering his house. Reporters were
sent scurrying over the city to track
down the reports, but the sensation
DIED A QUICK DEATH
upon receipt of dispatch from
Private Secretary Lamont through the
United press, which had made inquiries
at the White house concerning the mat
ter, to the effect that the story was
without foundation. The probable
weather has entered largely into the
cations for the city are that it will be
clear and cold. Between Logansport
and Noblesville, however, cold, drizz-
ling rain set in this afternoon with
every prospect of its holding over to
the morrow. 1t is generally conceded
that fair weather will favor
the Republicans, and unfayorable
weather their opponents. Hence,
the signal service operator has
been frequently consulted to-day.
and his inyariable reply has been that
in the greater part of the state disa-
greeable weather will prevail. Ex-
tensive preparations were completed
this evening for receiving and dis
tributing the returns from Indiana.
The returns will De collected by the
press associations and the Western
Union Telegraph company jointly. All
comparisons will be with the preSi-
Dental vote of 1854. The first returns
received will show the result by pre-
cincts. There are 1,773 precincts in the
state, an increase of five over the pre-
cincts of 1884. AS soon as twenty pre-
cincts have reported the vote will be
added and sent as
THE FIRST ELECTION BULLETIN,
each bulletin will give the exact vote of
twenty additional precincts have been
reported they will be added to the first
twenty and the result will comprise the
second regular bulletin. The returns
by counties will also be sent in addition
to the precinct bulletins, but it is
scarcely probable that any county re-
turns will be received before l or 2
o'clock Wednesday morning, as the
ticket in Indiana contains thirty-seyen
to forty names, and under the law each
name on the ballot must be called off.
This will necessarily delay the returns.
The polls open from to s a. m. and close
at p. m. No counting is permitted, as
in certain other states, until the polls
are closed. The total vote of Indiana
in 1854 was 49,, TIA, of which Cleveland
received 244,99O, Blaine 3S,465, Butler
S,293, st. John 3.02S. 1t is conservatlvely
estimated that to-morrow's vote will
reach $4,000 to $50, 90, showing large
increase over 1884. Next to the result

est centers in this, Marion county, and

committee has arranged to also. bring
the returns by precincts, and the press
associations will handle their returns,
giving the totals of every thirty pre-
cinctS and stating with each bulletin
that the returns are from the Demo-
cratic committee. Special wires have
been run into the Democratic and Re
