INDIANAPOLIS, NOV. o.-Ine greaG
campaign is in its death throes. But it
is dying like mighty giant. Much of
the closing up work of the campaign
was concluded to-day at both headquar-
terS, where the activity was of a more
confused and buStling character than
heretofore. Tons of mail matter were
carried out this evening, distribu-
ting over the state millions Of pastors
for ballots. Final instructions were is
sued by both chairmen to thelr lieuten-
ants in every county. Both committees
have made public portion of their in
StructionS and final orders. The chair
man of the Democrat central committee
sent letter to each Democratic county
chairman, of which the following is a
copy.
Instruct all inspectors to watch that Re-
publicaus do not vote double tickets Tues
day. The journal this morning contains full
directions how such thing can he done
The article proposes to charge the Democrats
with this. but we believe that the real object
is to instruct Republicans how to commit this
fhaud. G. L. JEwETT, Chairman.
The Republican committee early in
tie day sent the following letter to its
county chairmen:
Democrats in your county are planning TO
have double votes cast. No mistake ahout
this Warn our people quick. Let ballots
be challenged. Print and put up posters at
voting places. offering reward of Sl0i; 10y
this committee for apprehension ana conyic-
ton of each man who votes double tickets.
Print copy of our ticket and post at voting \
places. Force the fighting now.
j. n. HUSTON, Chairman.
The following telegram was sent this
evening to the Republican district chair
men throughout the state:
Indiana will go Republican by IS, ,OoO. as
the second poll shows, if Democratic bull
doing, fraudulent and double voting are
prevented. Assign every man to duty. Be
vigilant j. N. HUSTON Chairman
One of the last things the clerical
force of the Republican committee did
this evening before departing to par
ticipate in the demonstrations of the
night was to mail copy of the follow
ing notice to every town and city in the
state.
To the Public: The Republican state cen
tral committee of Indiana will pay n reward
ofSI00 for the apprehension and conviction
Of every one who. at the coming election,
votes more than one ballot or attempts to do
80, or circulates false and spurious Repub
lican tickets, or who alters, f0rgeS or mutt
lates tally sheets, or who delays the election
returns, or who changes ballot boxes; and
this committee calls upon every good citizen
to see that the laws are strictly enforced and
free ballot and fair count secured.
JAMES n. HUSTON Chairman.
Active preparations We're in progress
all day by the county committees, both
Democratic and Republican, for their
respective demonstrations tonight.
Each side aimed to outnumber the other
and make better display. A number
of delegations arrived in the city during
the day from Greenfield, She1byville and
other towns to participate in the Demo-
cratic parade. The weather was clear
and cool, but the streets are in bad con-
dition. Early In the afternoon the city
began to resound with marching bands,
drum corps and clubs moving across
the city to their respective rendezvous.
Early in the evening the streets began
to blockade with SWarming thousands.
Expectation was on tip-toe to witness
the spectacle of two great demOnstra-
tionS at the same time. The
FEARS OF A CONFLICT
had largely abated during the week,
owing TO the extraordinary precautions
employed by the authorities aided by
the managers Of both parties. The best
of good feeling prevailed everywhere.
The crowds had possessed themselves
of tin horns and numerous other con-
triyances with which to make the night
hideous. Hundreds of middle aged men,
to say nothing OF the boys, in
cesSanty blowing shrill campaign
whistles. So far as can he
learned, at a late hour, the double
demonstration passed off without
trouble or casualties. According to
programme, the Republican column
moved away first. 1t was o'clock when
the head of the column marching west
on Washington, turned north into Penn
svlvania avenue. Thence the tide was
west on Ohio up Meridian as far as
North street, then by countermarch,
to the Circle, into Market, thence to
Illinois, where they dsbanded. Nat
urally the largest crowds to witness the
Republican parade were cOngregated
OH Pennsylvania avenue and Ohio
street around the new Denison. The
streets in this vicinity were packed
solid to the car tracks, which was
left open for the column to pass. A
few minutes before s. Gen. Harrison,
accompanied by his son Russell, ar
rived at the headquarters. and the gen.
eral reviewed the procession from the
balcony, surrounded by 100 or more
ladies and gentlemen. When the grand
marshal and his staff of thirty-five
mounted aides reached the review bal
cony, they halted and saluted the gen.
eral, who
STOOD WITH Barred HEAD
repeatedly bowling. The airs was thick
with smoke from the countless rockets
and Roman candles. The pressing
crowds moved back to permit the big
Harrison and Morton Cumberland ball
to roll by midst deafening cheers. AS
the great sphere, which had travelled
SO far, arrived opposite Gen.
Harrison, it stopped as though to
salute, and the general uncovered.
The ball was escorted by 46S torch
bearers. Perhaps the finest display in
the Republican procession was made by
the Railroad club, and the Porter Co
lumbian club. The railroad men
all carried lanterns and fired Ro-
man candles, but it was their
big realistic locomotive, drawn by
six horses that captured the crowd.
The Porter Columbians numbered 42O,
carrying long poles with Illuminated
balloons. Among the other leading Or
eanizations were the Umbrella brigade,
the Carworks club, Wanamaker escort,
Tile workers and the Irish club. Alto
gether there were forty-one clubs in
line, numbering by actual count 1000
men. The Republicans had but
half a dozen bands and they were
compelled to send to the country and
bring them in, as the Democrats got
ahead of them and hired every band in
the city. The column was one hour and
twenty minutes in passing the review
balcony. Gen. Harrison remained
throughout the parade and was handed
