Stories of Corruption in tho Late Election
Votes Openly Bought.
CHICAGO, November rs The Mail this
afternoon prints the following:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November &c.
Startling developments that are expected
to follow the indictments for frauds at
the recent election will shake Indiana to
its center. Many names sent in to the
United States district attorney for offensss
against the state are those of men prom
inent in the republican party--ohairme
of county committees, ex-federal Office
holders, ex-county officers of note and
men whose regulations have extended
beyond the state and we're known
in part for integrity and uprigh ness
Over 1000 complaints have been filed at
the Office of United States District Attor-
ney Sellers. Most scrupulous care is
being exercised in arranging the cases.
Not man will be brought before the
grand jury whose evidence cannot be
corroborated, and no case will be pre-.
scented without the most convincing
evidence. A man in Dearborn county, IL
is said, was offered 81 day for year to
change from Cleveland to Harrison. A man
convicted in the United States court, for
counterfeiting four months ago, was re-
prieved. Before the expiration of his
term on election day he was taken TO the
polls by the sheriff and allowed to vote.
In Vigo county, it is alleged, the republic
cans offered democrat rent free for two
years for one HarrisoR vote, and got the
vote aud will receive an indictment. At
Monroeville two witnesses will swear they
saw voter receive sum of money and
an overcoat from we'll known republican,
all for vote for Harrison.

Almost an ESCAPE.

Special Telegram to the Statesman,
BoNHAM, November 27.-The prisoners
in the county jail were frustrated early
this morning in bold attempt TO escape.
They had sawed in two two of the bars of
the cage in which six prisoners were con-
fined, and were working on the third when
discovered. Had they succeeded in saw
ing the third bar their escape wonid have
been easy. On searching them file was
found. They acknowledged that they had
been working at the bars ever since the
five prisoners escaped last summer by
saving out.
