The Republican state central committee
by the courtesy of tenants on the second
floor of the journal building, were enabled
to receive election returns directly under
the rooms occupied by the Associated
Press and were furnished with the bulle-
ties sent out by the latter at once.
A large crowd has gathered in front OF
the building which was entertained by the
display of the bulletins, thrown from a
stereopticon Of course after Indiana in
terest conferred in New York and the early
reports from this state were eagerly
watched for, and as they showed Republi-
can gains the crowd heartily cheered. For
several hours after the polls closed here

operators and clerks only. the members of
the committee taking advantage of the
opportunity afforded for brief rest
after their almost uninterrupted labors for
weeks past.
1t was o'clock before Chairman Hous-
ton came into the room, accompanied by
number of the state candidates, bearing
with him a quantity of dispatches received
from county committeeman all over the
state, claiming Republican gains. To the
Associated Press reporter who asked for
his opinion Of the status of the state, he
replied: AT the present time the lndlca-
tions are favorable to the election of the
entire ticket and the choice of the Harrl-
son and Morton electors"
The polls closed here without any dis
turbance but with considerable excite
ment at many precincts. The fight has
been one of the most stubborn character
and it is impossible to say or even indicate
which side has carried Marion county. No
returns from the state are anticipated be-
fore 5 o'clock and they will be very meagre.
Chairman Jewett of the Democratic COM
mittee, has telegram stating that
Adams county will show a gain Of 800 for
