lNvIAYAPoLIs, Ind, Nov. The city
has been in foment since early morning.
Long before the hour for the resumption
OF bulletins, large crowd gathered around
The Journal office, calling: "Returns! re-
turnsl" and clamoring to know the latest
from New York and Indiana The Journal
and The Daily Ncrs issued 10 o'clock edi-
tons. AS soon as the newsboys appeared
bearing their arms full of papers, crowd
OF hundred or more would cncirce them
and verify quarrel and scramble TO buy
his goods. For an hour or more the two
perfecting presses OF The Ners and the big
Journal press could not keep up with the
greedy demand for the latest election re-
turns. All day long the crowd skirted
The Journal building, while on Washing
ton street, in front Of The Nacs office, the
police could not keep the way open, and
for time traffic was blockaded. As the
bulletins were posted in The Ners win
dows, showing that Harrison steadily
gained in Indiana, or at least maintained
his first gains, the crowd cheercd and yelled
for a long time. Returns are being received
at several other places in tho city and
the interest seemed almost as great as last
night. About 4 o'clock a driZzling, pene-
trating rain set in and continues ut this
writing. Notwithstanding this, as dark
ness came on, the crowd began TO grow
around The Journal premises, standing
patiently in rain and mud, sheltered by
several hundred umbrellas As the stere.
opucon illuminated the returns from New
York and Kings County, confirming the
previous figures, the crowd grew bolster
Gus and hilarious, singing aud cheering,
apparently needless Of the drizzling rain.
n the corridors of the New Denison Hotel
the scenes OF last night are being repeated
upon moderate scale. Every time some
new conner brings good tiding there is an
ontburst OF applause and cheers, and, with
singing and brief impromptu speeches by
overilowing enthusiasm, theyale managing
TO have a cool time in n ie OF the
weather, which forbids street demon.
STATIONS At the Bates and the Grand
Hotels, large crowds are congre-
gated, but no demonstrations are
in progress. Thousands OF tclcgrams were
received today by citizens and newspaper
people from their friends, appealing for
Information as 10 how Indiana had gone.
The meagcrness Of the returns last night,
and the late hour at which they arrived,
seems 10 have directed the eyes OF the
whole country 10 the lioosier State 20 see
what kind Of a child she will bring forth
after such unparalleled labon. Among
the several hundred telegraIns received by
Chairman Huston today were over fifty
stating that parties were being offered
wagen on Indiana going Democratic, and
asking his figures and opinion.
Congratulatory kilograms have poured
in upon Gen. Harrison since early morn
ing, and are from all parts Of the country.
The press will he given Rccess 30 the tele-
grams at such timc rs Gen. Harrison
thinks proper. Under the circumstances
lac Is not disposed 20 be hasty in this mat
ter, taking the same cool but serious view
OF the election ~ lac manifested thrOugh-
out the campaign.
II has been an anxious day for the crowd
nj Democratic headquarters. The returns
from New York have been very dcprcss-
ing, and all eyes we're turned 10 Indiana.
At $ o'clock this evening the committee
rooms were packed with wet individuals
seeking the latest news. Chairman Jeweit,
Mr.. Shecrin, secretary Of tho Democratic
National Committee. and large cosps OF
assistants, have been busily engaged since
early morning In receiving and tabulating
returns from various parts OF the State.
When the Associated Press correspondent

an expression regarding the result In In
diana he said. 1--WE have heard from
iiity.iour counties officially, aud, taking
the figures claimed by the Republicans for
the rest, our returns give the State 10
Cleveland 10y from 500 10 1000 plurality.
The Republican state ticket Is behind
their National ticket 20 that our State
ticket will have larger plurality
than that. think we have gained three,
and possibly four, COngrcssincn, and We
have good working majority In both
branches Of the Legislature. In getting
our returns We do not depend upon the
Western Union tabulations. They arc not
reliable aud are not intended 10 be. They
