wealthy farmer of the town of Oak
Creek, died yesterday aud his son Au-
gust is held at the county Jail on the
charge Of numbering his father. The

ISDlAxAroms, ND, Nov. 5.-Esti
mates on to.morrow's result in Indiana
are widely apart. The Associated Press
correspondent obtained at late hour
the following final estimates by the gen
tlGmen named:
Chairman Jewett, OF the Democratic
State Committee, says Indiana will give
Cleveland and Thurman 10000 plurality
and Matson will be elected by a hand
some majority.
Chairman Huston, OF the Republican
State Committee General Harrison
will carry Indiana by 1900 and General
Hovey for Governor will be elected.
Editor Morse, OF the !Sgllinei-My cSti-
mate is 1850 for Cleveland and Thur
man.
Editor HalforL, OF the JOHrnGl-I have
no estimates, but you can say that Gen.
Harrison will, in my opinion, run fur
ahead OF his ticket, and his plurality in
the State will be several thousand.
Chairman Jewett, left for home TO-
night. Chairman Huston goes in the
morning.
At midnight, the city presents q carni-
val appearance. A comic band is

How the Indiana Election Returns will be
Given out-An Extraordinary Vote will
be Polled.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 5.-The last
day OF the great campaign opened bright
and warm here, but in the afternoon a
slight rain fell, and the weather contin-
ued threatening into the night. About
forty ladies and gentlemen came up from
Terre Haute this morning, accompanied
by fine band. They came to deliver a
handsome present OF miniature silver
mounted plush chair, designated "The
Presidential Chair" They also brought
Mrs. Harrison n valuable flower stand
with silver pedestal, voted to her Mt
the Germania fair. The General thanked
the donors OF the gifts.
Extensive preparations were COM
pleted this exening for receiving and dis
tributing the returns. from Indiana. The
returns will be collected by the Associ-
ated Press and the Western Union Tele-
graph company. An comparisons will
be with the Presidential vote OF 1884.
The first returns received will show the
result for President. There are l,773
precincts in the State, an increase OF
five over the precincts OF 1884. AS soon
rs twenty precincts have reported
they will be added and sent
as the first election returns. Each
bulletin will give the exact vote Of 1884
for the same precincts. As soon as 90
additional precincts have been reported
they will be added to the first 20 and the
result will comprise the second regular
bulletin. The returns by counties will
also be sent in addition TO the precinct
bulletins, but it is scarcely probable
that any county returns will be re-
ceiVed before one or two o'clock We'd
nesday morning, rs the ticket in
Indiana contains thirty.seVen to forty
names and under the law each name on
the ballot must be called OF. This will
necessarily delay the returns. The polls
are open at Q a. M, and close at p. III.
No counting is permitted, rs in certain
other States, until the polls are closed.
The total vote Of Indiana in 1884 was
404,774, OF which Cleveland received
24409O; Blaine, 1883; Butler, S,59S,
and St. John, S,02S. 1t is conservatiyely
estimated that to-morrow's vote will
reach from $4,000 to $4,000, showing
large increase over 1884. Next
to the result in the State at
large the greatest interest centres in
this (Marion) county, and many local
wagers have been laid on the outcome.
There are 90 precincts in Marion county,
including the city OF indianapolis. The
vote for 1854 was: Cleveland l4,2O5,
Blaine l4,43S, Butler 46G, St. John l27.
After the Marion county vote, the in
ternRt centres on the vote Of the Second

Democrats Offering to Trade Cleveland
for the judicial Ticket.
CHICAGO, November 5.-An Indian
apolis special to the Tribune says, Last
night the Democrats Of Indianapolis be-
came stampeded. They threw over
board everything but their judicial
ticket, for which they began house to
house CANVASS, offering to trade any and
everything for control OF the Courts.
This action was certainly not taken
without the advice and consent OF the
State Committee. 4 vote for Grover
Cleveland is not worth as much us n
vote for Tom Sullivan, the Circuit Judge,
or for member OF the Board OF County
Commissioners. But, anyhow, Cleve-
land has rot stood high in this State
since he put his foot on the neck OF
Governor Gray at the st. Louis conven-
ton. Trading such as prevails here is
doubtless going on all over the State. In
many counties, rs is the case here, DEM
ocratic officials have been conducting
public affairs in such way that the OPEN
ing OF the books is feared.
The indications are that the Indiana
Republicans, who have been offensive
to the Democracy since 1861, are to be
given n dose of the Southern method
Tuesday. DR.. Cairns, prominent poll
tician Of Greenwood, was arrested Inst
evening and brought here by a Deputy
United States Marshal, the alleged
charge against him being an attempt to
bribG voter. The period before the
election at which the arrest is made
shows clearly that its purpose is intimi-
dation. Republicans are to be bullied
out OF their rights, il they submit to it,
just as they used to be cheated out Of
them before the conviction Of Bern
hamer and Cop. 1t was learned here
last night that n series OF arrests is con-
tcmplated for to-day at points through
out the State.
Russell Harrison says, regarding n
story printed in Chicago paper to the
effect that he had visited the Garden
City to hustle for money: "There is not
word OF truth in the report. There is
no foundation in it. was in Chicago a
few days ago, but it was on my personal

The Democratic State Committee has
arranged to also bring returns by pre-.

every thirty precincts, and stating with
each bulletin that the returns arc from

Special wires have been run into the
