The Campaign in Hoosierdom
Closes Very Quietiy-Both Par
ties Sanguine of Success.
Special to the Globe
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. $50 far
as the Hoosier capital is concerned, the
Indiana campaign closed quietly
enough. There were less people OH the
streets to-day and tonight than on any
day since Gen. Harrison was made the
standard-bearer of the Republican
party. The headquarters of the state
committees were practically deserted
after dinner. Chairman Jowett locked
up his room at the Grand hotel and
went home to New Albany to vote.
Before leaving he said that he
had no doubt that the Democracy would
carry the state if it could prevent
the Republicans from committing
frauds, and this he thought they would
be easily able to do. Secretary Sheerin,
of the Democratic national committee,
re-echoes this opinion, but both Of
fieials declined to make estimates. EX-
Auditor Rice, who has been one of
Chairman Jewett's lieutenantS, said
that the Democratic plurality sin the
state would be about 1000, and that they
would carry the First, Second. Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Elev-
enth, Twelfth and Thirteenth congress
sional districts, with fighting chance
in the Tenth. AT the New Denhison a
solitary clerk kept open house in the
Republican committee room. Chair
man Huston, who is about
BROKEN DOWN PHYSICALLY, ~
kept to his room. He spent the morning
in completing the verfication of the last
Republican poll of the state, and when
he had finished, said: ''Gen. Harrison'S
plurality in Indiana will be about -. 600.
The state ticket will probably have
about 5000. think we will elect six
congressman and that our majority in
the general assembly will be ten. These
estimates are predicated upon all honest
election, upon the belief that we will be
able to prevent the Democrats carrying
out their corrupt schemes" Just be-
fore the departure of Chairman Jewett,
the following was received from New
York and Immediately telegraphed to
the chairmen of the various county
committees:
Hon. c. Jewett: The Republican mana
day that they will carry this state. They eX-
pect by publication of these reports in this
afternoon and tomorrow mornings papers
TO influence doubtful voters. They Will send
tomorrow for publication in the afternoon
papers that the progress of voting indicates
large Republican gains. This is an old
trick. Warn our friends everywhere so that
they will not be Influenced or deferred from
making efforts during the closing hours of
election day. [Signed1 CALVIN S. BRlcE

gram from j. 0. Behymer, of Upton,
reading:
Republicans are distributing counterfeit
money in this county. Give notice.
AS counter irritant the Republicans
have telegram from a prominent law
yer at Frankfort, Ind, to the effect that
twenty gas line men, all PennSylva-
mans, had left that place to vote in
| indianapolis. Descriptions of the men,
as telegraphed, were furnished to agents
of the state committee with instructions
to watch the trains and keep tab on
| their movements in case of their arrival.
The issuance of the warrant by the fed
eral marshal for the
ARREST OF W, W. DUDLEY
on the charge OF conspiracy to bribe
voters. as set forth in his now celebrated
| letter, was freely commented upon in
| both political camps to-day. The Dem
ocratS were naturally elated at the de-
velopments, while the Republicans
were vigorous in denying the authen-
tlcity of the document. varying this
with the claim that even if its
correctness were granted, it con-
tanned nothing that would make
its author liable to criminal prose-
cution. 1t was reported during the after
noon that Dudley would arrive here at
| $50, and an officer with the warrant
was stationed at the Union depot. His
mission, however. was fruitleSs, and a
dispatch from New York tonight says
| that the treasurer of the NATIONAL COM
mittee had decided not to come home to
vote. Marshal Hawkins says that if
| Dudley comes within the state the war
rant will certainly be served, but that
| should he keep outside of its bound
aries the case will be brought to the at
tention of the grand jury. Then,
| should
AN INDICTMENT BE RETURNED,
warrants will be served upon him in
the usual way wherever he is and he
will be brought back to the state. Gen.
Harrison received his final delegation
of the campaign to-day. 1t came from
| Terre Haute and was composed of Com
pany E of the Harrison and Morton eS-
cort guards in snowy uniforms, the
Terre Haute military band and party
| of ladies. The visitors proceeded at.
! once to the Harrison residence. where
| they were cordially received by the pres
idential candidate and Mrs. Harrison.
In brief speech Capt. Abel, of the Es-
cort guards, explained that at a recent
| German fair held in Terre Haute min-
iature silver and plush chair had been
voted to Gen. Harrison as the most pop
| ular presidential candidate, and val
liable flower stand with silver pedes-
tai to Mrs. Harrison as the most popular
lady. The presentations were then
made and, after Miss Filbert had said a
