Result.
Indiana Sure for Cleveland and
Thurman.
Good News from Michigan and
Ohio.
The Last DAY.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 5.-The last day
of the great campaign opened bright and
warm here. Many faces scan the heav-
ems in conjecture about to-morrow's
weather. The hotels and streets present
ed a holiday appearance. From early
morning crowds were gathered in the
Hobbies and on street corners earnestly
discussing to-morrow's results. About
forty ladies and gentlemen came up from
Terre Haute this morning accompanied
by a fine band.
Extensive preparations were completed
this evening for receiving and distributing
the returns from Indiana. The returns
will be collected by the Associated Press
and Western Union Telegraph company
Jointly. All comparison will be with the
presidential vote of 1884. The first re-
precincts. There are l,773 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 bulle-
tin will give the exact vote of 1884 for
the same precincts. As soon as twenty
additional precincts have been reported
they will be added to the first twenty and
the result will comprise the. second regu-
lar bulletin. Returns by counties will
also be sent in addition to the precinct
bulletins, but it is scarcely probable that
any county returns will be received before
| or 2 O'Clock Wednesday, as the ticket
in Indiana contains thirty-seven 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 6 20 s a. IN. and
close at 6 p. m. No counting is per-
mitted. as in certain other states, until
the polls are closed.
The total vote of Indiana in 1884 was
494, 794, of which Cleveland received
IA, 900, Blaine 23S ,463, Butler 1928,
and st. John 3,02S. 1t is conservatively
estimated that to. morrow vote will reach
$40, 900 to $50, 900, showing a large in.
crease over 1884. Next to the result in
the state at large the greatest interest
centers in this (Marion) county. and
many local wages have been taken on the
outcome. There are ninety precincts in
Marion county, including the City of
Indianapolis. The vote for 1884 was,
Cleveland l4.205, Blaine ABB, Butler
ACC, st. John 172.
After the Marion county vote interest
centers on the vote of the second ward of
Indianapolis Gen. Harrison's ward
which in 1884 gave Blaine 729, Cleveland
229, Butler 9, St. John II. Gen. Har-
rlson's precinct, third, gave Blaine 236,
Cleveland &c, the other candidates moth
ing. The Democratic state committee has
arranged to also bring returns by precincts
and the Associated Press will handle their
returns, giving the totals of every thirty
precincts, and stating with each bulletin
that the returns are from the Democratic
committee. SPECIAL wires have been run
into the Democratic and Republican head
quarters and at several ether points in the
city. Gen. Harrison will receive returns
by wire at his house.
Estimates on to-morrow's result in In
diana are widely apart. An Associated
Press correspondent attained at a late
hour the following final estimates by the
gentlemen named:
Chairman Jewett, of the Democratic
state committee-lndiana will give Cleve-
land and Thurman $1,000 plurality, and
Matson will be elected governor by a
handsome majority.
Chairman Huston, of the Republican
state COMMUNICATION. Harrison will
carry Indiana by II, 900 and Gen. Hovey
for governor will be elected.
Editor Moore, of the Sentnel-My es-
Innate is $4,000 for Cleveland and Thur
man.
Editor Halford, of the Jomnal-I have
made no estimate, but you may say that
in my opinion Gen. Harrison will run far
ahead of the state ticket. and his plurality
in the state will be several thousand.
Things were very lively around the
New Denison hotel to night. The lobby
was crowded until midnight, and the
thousands Of Jealous Republicans discus
sing tomorrow with great animation.
