bright and warm here. Many faces
scan the heavens in conjecture about
to-morrow's weather. The hotels and
streets presented holiday appearance.
From early morning crowds were
gathered in the Hobbies and on the
street corners, earnestly discussing to-
morrow's result. About forty ladies
and gentlemen came up from Terre
Haute this morning accompanied by a
fine band. They came to deliver q
handsome present of miniature silver
mounted plush chair designated as the
Presidential chair. They also brought
Mrs. Harrison valuable floral stand
with silver pedestal, voted to her at
The Germania fair. General
HARRISON MADE BRIEF RESPONSE, m
after which, in behalf of Mrs. Harrison,
he thanked the ladies for their present,
to her. General Harrison was also the
recipient of a large. silk-coVered sofa
pillow, voted him as the most popular
candidate at a Methodist fair, at Port
Washington, n. Y. Another present
that arrived to-day was unique large
knotty cane, taken from the battlefield
at Port Hudson, Il. l., and sent by Cap
tain l.. +. Ellis, now OF Lima, Ohio. who
commanded a company of New York
troops. Mrs. Ornor, of Topeka, Kas.

voted General William Henry Hatri-
son by Congress in 1878, the original of
which is in General Harrison possess
sion, having been willed by his father
to that son who should achieve
THE GREATEST DISTINCTION IN LIFE.
The medal has been lying in bank
vault in this city for many years, and is
still there. Extensive preparations we've
completed this evening for receiving
and distributing the returns from In
diana. The returns will be collected by
the Associated Press and the Western
Union Telegraph Company. All COM
parsons will be made with the Presi-
will show the result by precincts. There
are LIB in the State, an increase of five
over the precincts of 1884. AS soon as
twenty precincts have reported, the
vote will be added and sent as the first
election bulletin.
EACH BULLETIN WILL GIVE
the exact vote of 1888, for the same pre-
cinct. AS soon as twenty additional
precincts have been reported they will
be added to the first twenty and II Q
result will comprise the second regular
bulletin. Returns by counties will also
be sent, IN addition to precinct bulletins,
but its scarcely probable that any
county returns will be received before
1 or o'clock on Wednesday morning,
as the ticket in Indiana contains from
thirty-seven to forty names, and under
the law eachtname on the ballot must
be called off. This will necessarily de-
lay the returns. The polls open from
6to s am. and close at pm. No
counting is permitted, as III certain
other States, until the polls are closed.
THE TOTAL VOTE III INDIANA
in 1884 was 494,774, of which Cleveland
received 244.99O; Blaine, 238,463; But
Ter, 1898, and st. John, 1923. 1t is coz
seryat1vely estimated that to morrow's |
vote will reach from 10000 to $50, 600, |
showing large increase over 1884. Next |
to the result in the State at large, the |
greatest interest centres in this, Marion |
County, and many local wagers have |
been taken on the outcome. There are |
ninety precincts in Marion County, in
Guiding the city OF Indianapolis, the |
vote which for 1884 was, Cleveland,
IA ,205; Blaine, 15, 433; Butler, 466; st. |
John, liz. After The Marion County
vote, interest centres on the Second |
Ward of Indianapolis, General Harri-
son s ward, which, in 1884, gave Blaine
729; Cleveland, 220; Butler, 9; st, John,
IL. General Harrison's precinct, the |
third, gave Blaine 236; Cleveland, &c. |
The Democratic State Committee has
arranged to also bring the returns in
" precincts and the Associated Press
WILL HANDLE THE 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
publican headquarters, and at several
other points in the city. General Har-
rison will receive the returns by wire at
his house.

night, and was sent to many papers,

tally sheet forgers. had been pardened
out of the Indiana penitentiary by Pres

the story is campaign canard. Coy

Of the Democratic committee.
