The Day at INDIANAPOLIS,


indianapolis, Oct. 29.-There was q sig
niticant quietness about the political head
quarters to-day and good deal of quiet can
vassing. Hon. John F.. Finerty of Chicago
addressed an audience of 5000 tonight at
Tomlinson's hall. He was rendered most
enthusiastic reception by the Irish repub-
lican and other local organizations. Four
hundred survivors of the Seventieth reg-
ment, Indiana volunteers, General Harrison's
regiment have signed an address, which will
be published in the morning, congratulating
themselves on the nomination Of General
Harrison, recitng in generous terms his
treatment of them through the war, expr ess-
ing their attachment for him as a soldier,
and their qualification in zealously following
his leadership to-day.
Mayor Denny to-day called together the
chief marshals Of the demo cratic and repub-
lican parades set for Saturday night, also
the chairmen of the democratic and republi-
can county committees. They were in con,
sultation a long time. Both parties refused
to abandon their intended demonstration,
and each have published q long list OF officers
for the occasion. 1t was finally agreed that
each party should parade upon certain
streets. TO this end the mayor drew up
formal written agreement, giving the line Of
march and time for starting and disbanding
each column, and both marshals have signed
the agreement The mayor hopes that this
arrangement may avert any conflict, but is
dissatisfied that both sides will not
| agree to abandon their demonstration. The
| chief marshals have pledged to take special
| efforts to prevent any trouble Meantime
| both sides are redoubling their efforts to get
out all their clubs and make great showing.
General Harrison passed the day quietly at
| home, receiving the usual number of callers.
| Ex-senator Joseph L. Mcdonald, in an in
tervew to-day, expressed the opinion that
the letter of Minister West will help instead
| of hurt the democratic party, because its
| chief effect will be to show the desperation
| of the republican cause.
| Speaker Carlisle was in the city this morn
ing, en- route to Anderson, where he spoke
this afternoon, and returned to the city by
the evening train. Regarding Lord Sack
| ville's letter, Mr.. Carlisle said: 1.-THE letter
| will have no effect" adding, "There is moth.
| ing in his letter that can do us any damage"
| Carlisle speaks at Lebanon tomorrow, clos
| ing his canvass at Madison on November 2.
A citizens committee of one hundred, A.
| B. Conduit, president, to-day issued several
| hundred large flaming red posters, which are
| being conspcuously displayed about the
city, offering 500 reward for information
leading to the arrest and conviction Of any
| illegal voter, or any officer of election who
deposits a challenged ballot before it has
| been determined whether the person is en-
| titled to vote. The posters recite at length
| the statutes bearing on the commission of
| election frauds, giving penalties, and
closing by guaranteeing the payment of the
reward to the informer on the day Of con-
viction of each offender These posters will
| be sent into every precinct in the state.
| Three committees and organizations created
for the avowed purpose Of securing an hon.
est and fair election are thus far cooperating
| in their work. They have been provided by
the democratic county and state committees
| with lists containing the names of q large
| number of suspected illegal voters.
Perhaps no speaker on either side has made
more addresses or been over the state quite
| as thoroughly as Governor Gray. He speaks
tomorrow at New Albany. In brief con
versation tonight on the political outlook il
Indiana the governor said: ~ am willing t.
stake my reputation on the statement that
Indiana will go democratic, with no qualify
| ing ifs or reservations"
