INDIANA.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6.-Toward II
o'clock The rain ceased and there are
signs of clearing, but the atmosphere is
damp and the streets sloppy. Reports of
many arrests are coming from both sides
as of swearing out warrants, charging
attempts to commit fraud. At 1920
there was a crowd of about loo standing
around and within a livery stable on
Seventh street, where the citizens of the
third precinct and the second ward vote.
Rain has ceased. Shortly after, two men
wearing tall overcoats with Lh,i' collars
turned up, walked directly along Seventh
street and entered the polling place. 1t

The distance from their residence to
the polling place is some three and a half
squares. The chute being open when the
general arrived, he walked up to the
window and in the quickest possible man
ner handed in his ballot. AS the inspec-
tor dropped the paper into the box he
called out the name of Benjamin Har-
rison and the clerk responded number
237," signifying number of ballots cast
up to that hour. As this precinct only
cast 302 votes in 1884 and 357 in 1886, it
will be seen that over .two-thirds OF the
vote was in to-day at half past 10. Rus
sell Harrison did not vote, being a citizen
of Montana.
After the general had voted the crowd
gathered about him and a short season of
hand shaking took place. Shortly after
the general and his son buttoned up their
overcoats and walked back to the house.
The general seemed in excellent spirits,
and if he felt any anxiety over this event
full days work not a shadow of it was
manifest on his smiling countenance.
Around his residence everything Is very
quiet.
No serious disturbances have been re-
ported up to noon, but there came near
being a fight at the first precinct of the
fourth ward at II o'clock when Chief
Deputy Marshal O'Key arrested a colored
man named Gus Stewart, charging him
with being an illegal voter. This is a
strong colored precinct, and there was a
demand made by one of the colored by
ISLANDERS to know the grounds of the
charge against Stewart. He was sup
ported by several others who demanded
to see the warrant, whereupon Marshal
Okey and his six deputies drew their
reyolvers and surrounding the prisoner
carried him away.
In this state the ticket voted comprises
presidential electors and state candidates,
over thirty name. in all, and as no count
ing is done until after the polls close, it
will be late before any return whatever
are in.
