and warm here, but in the afternoon a
slight rain fell and the weather continued
threatening into the night. Many anxious
faces sean the heavens in conjecture about
tomoTow's weather. The hotels and
streets presented a holiday appearance.
From early morning crowds were gather
ing in the lobbes and on the street cor
ncrs, earnestly discussing tomowow's re-
suits.
Extensive preparations were completed
this evening for receiving and distributing
the returns from Indiana. The returns
will be collected by the Associated Press
and the Western Union Telegraph Com

with the Presidential vote OF 1884 The
first returns will show the result by pre-
cincts
There are l,773 precincts in the State,
an increase OF five over the precincts OF
1854. As soon MS twenty precincts have
reported the vote will be added and sent
rs the first election bulletin, each bulletin
will give the exact vote OF 1884 Tor the
same precincts. As soon rs twenty addi-
tional precincts have been reported they

result will comprise the second regular bull

morrow's vote will reach 52O, 900 10 $50, 100,
showing large increase over 1854. Next

precincts in Marion County, including the
