Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 5.-Chairman Hus-
ton, of the republican committee, announces
that the revised poll and the latest data in his
possession make him confident of a plurality
of Il, 900 for Harrison, with six Congressman
certain and a majority Of ten in the general
assembly. He is confident and insists on these
figures. Col. James H. Rice, an Indiana MEM
Der of the national democratic committee, said
this am: 1--WE will carry Indiana by 1000
plurality and elect Congressman in every Dis
trict except the sixth and ninth and possibly
the tenth, although we concede only the sixth
and tenth" MIR. 8. P. Speerin, also of the
national democratic committee, and Chairman
Jewett, OF the state committee, corroborate Mr..
Rice's statement, and the democrats and re-
publicans alike insist upon estimates which give
each party an assured victory.
FEELING RUNS HIGH TO-DAY,
and the rumors Of fraud at the polls
tomorrow are SO many that it is
thought if both parties carry out the threats
freely made at the present time and during the
past few days serious difficulties may ensue.
The close contest has led to an intense and
bitter feeling Of rivalry which needs only
an impetus to create a panic. Crowds ere
everywhere congregated upon the streets and
in the hotels, the burden Of whose CONVERSE
ton Is scathing denunciation Of the methods il
is charged the opposition party contemplate
tomorrow. These do not differ materially. II
is said that
MANY ARRESTS ARE TO BE MADE
of men in each party for conspiracy or attempts
to defraud. The democrats have already begun
this plan. Warrants for numerous arrests have
been issued and several alleged bribers have
been placed under bond. A prominent citizen
of Greenwood, a small town in this vicinity,
DIR. z. T. Carnes, was brought to the city last
night by deputy United States marshal on the
charge of offering man SIS for his vote. War
rants are also out for the arrest OF two citizens
Of Greenfield and louisville on the charge of
attempting to buy votes for the republicans
These were arrested to-day. A number Of
NEGROES FROM WASHINGTON,
brought here by the democrats, the republi-
pose Of voting the democratic ticket. They
are supposed to be more readily
able to do this from republican
standpoint, because they are ostensibly here in
the interests of the republican ticket. Repub-
licans to-day claim that the democrats have
taken advantage Of the United States marshall
ship to appoint many deputies who are to
intimidating colored men. Whether legal or
illegal, voters are to be frightened if possible
by the deputies into leaving the polls. The
feeling on this at present runs SO high
that in case ii should be attempted it
will undoubtedly lead to violence. Such a
thing under the present circumstances il not
beyond the possible.
TO ARREST COL. DUDLEY.
II is reported to-day that Col. W. W. Dudley
will arrive in Indianapolis at O'Clock this
evening by special locomotive. warrant has
upon his arrival.
