Caiifornis-Thurman Hasn't Any Doubts.
Neither Has Biaibe-Gen. Harrison Re-
ceives His Final Campaign Delegation
Determined Fight for Negro Congress-
man In virginia-liIoodshed Threatened
In neutrality-suspicious. Picked Up Along
the Lines.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. $50 far as the
Hoosier capital is concerned the Indiana
campaign closed quietly enough There
were less people on the streets yesterday and
last night than on any day since Gen Harri-
son was made the standard bearer OF the Re-
publican party The headquarters OF the state
committees we're practically deserted after
dinner Chairman Jewett locked up his
room at the Grand hotel and went home to
Now Albany to vote Before leaving he said
he had no donbt 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 Sherin, OF the Democratic ma
tional COMMITTEES, rs-echoed this opinion, but
both officials declined to make estimates Ex-
Auditor Rice, who has been one of Chair
man Jewett's lieutenants, said that the Dam
ocratic plurality in the state would be about
1000. and that they would carry the First,
Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh,
Eighth Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth
congressional districts with fighting chance
in the Tenth.
At the New benson solitary clerk kept
open house in the Republican committee
room Chairman Huston. who is about
broken down physically, kept to his room.
He spent the morning completing the verdi
cation Of the last Republican poll of the
state, and when he bad finished. said: Gen
Harrison's plurality in Indiana will be
about Il, 600. The state ticket will proba-
bly, have about 5000. | think we will elect
six congressman, and that our ma iority in
the general assembly will be ten These es-
Inmates are predicted upon an houest cleo
ton, upon the belief that we will be able to
prevent the Democrats carrying out their
corrupt schemes"
The Republican poll is said to he in sub
stance this: Republican pluralities, SO, 2lO;
Democratic pluralities, D., 400 Net Repub-
lican plurality, 1850
The Democratic poll is as as follows: DEM
ocratic pluralities, q, $50 Republican plural
tiles, 26, 1856. Net Democratic plurality, lbs.
These figures are taken from the poll lists of
the state committees and indicate on what
the leaders are banking.
The probable weather has entered largely
into the political speculations The indica-
tions for the city are that it will be clear
and cold. Between Logansport and Mobiles
vile, however, cold, drizzIing rain set in
yesterday afternoon, with every prospect OF
long stay 1t is generally conceded that
fair weather will favor the Republicans and
unfavorahle weather their opponents.
Little that Is definite of the result in this
state is likely to be known tonight In fact,
it may be Wednesday noon or night before
any accurate idea of the outcome can be
formed. There are four tickets in the field,
Republican, Democratic, Prohibition and
Union Labor. On each ticket, counting the
presidential electors, state and county Off
GERS and nominees for congress, there are
over thirty names; consequently the task OF
making out the returns at each precinct will
be slow and laborious one.
The saloons in this city will be closed from
this morning until after the close of the polls
and extra police precautions have been
taken against disturbances A number OF
arrests have been made on charges OF
bribery, etc. A report got about last night
that Coy and Bernhamer, who were sent tc
the penitentiary for election crookedness
had been pardoned by the president, and one
man sent word to the newspapers that he had
shaken hands with them as they got off the
| train The rumor remained current until a
telegram was received from Private Secre
| tary Lamont denying it.
