Incidents About the Polls.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 6, 10 80 A. M.
The weather is growing colder. No
rain has fallen for nearly two hours, but
| the sky is leaden. One hundred arrests
have been made. In most cases the ar
rested persons are suspects, but in others
ing to bribe or unlawfully influencing
voters. The vote cast up to this hour is
unparalleled for size.
kilograms from Terre Haute, Vincen-
mes, Evansville and New Albany, tell of
rainy weather and heavy voting, with
mum Der of arrests, but no trouble. In
Northern Indiana things are quiet and
but few arrests are known to have oc-
cured.
CHARGES OF FRAUD.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 6.-Toward
II O'Clock the rain ceased and there are
signs of clearing, but the atmosphere is
damp and the streets sloppy. Reports
| OF many arrests are coming in, both sides
swearing out warrants charging with at
tempts to commit fraud.
HARRISON DEPOSITS HIS BALLOT,
| At 1880 there was a crowd of about
| 100 standing around and within the
livery stable on Seventh street where
the citizens of the Third precinct of the
Second ward vote. The rain had ceased.
Shortly before, two men wearing fall
overcoats with collars turned up, walked
quietly along Seventh street and entered
the polling place.
1t was General Harrison and his son
Russell. The distance from their resi-
dence to the polling place is some three
and half squares. The chute being
open when the General arrived, he
walked up to the window and in the
quietest possible manner handed in his
ballot. AS the inspector dropped the
paper into the box he called out the
name, Benjamin Harrison" and the
clerks responded, Number 237," signi-
flying the number of ballots cast up to
that hour. AS this precinct only cast
302 votes in 'S4 and 357 in 'S6, it will be
seen that over two-thirds of the vote was
in to- day at half-past TO-.
Russell Harrison did not vote, being q
citizen of Montana.
| SHAKING HANDS WITH THE CROWD.
After the General had voted the crowd
gathered about him and a short season
of handshaking took place. Among those
who greeted him were H. D. Pierce,
nephew OF the late Vice-President Hend-
ricks, and w. 0. Dewey, a prominent
business man and Democrat. After re-
naming about twenty minutes and chat
ting familiarly with score or more
of acquaintances present, the General
and his son buttoned up their overcoats
and walked back to the house. The
General seemed in excellent spirits. If
he felt any anxiety over the eventful
days work, not shadow of il was mani
tested on his smiling countenance.
Around his residence everything is very
quiet.
| CoLoRED COLONIZERs.
No serious disturbances have been re-
ported up to noon; but there came near
being fight at the First precinct of the
Fourth ward at IL O'Clock, when Chief
Deputy Marshal Okey arrested colored
man named Gus Stewart, charging him
with being an illegal voter. This is a
strong colored precinct, and there was
demand made by one Of the colored by
ISLANDERS to know the grounds of the
charge against Stewart. He was sup
ported by several others, who demanded
to see the warrant, whereupon Chief
Marshal Okey and his six deputies drew
their revolvers and, surrounding the
| prisoner carried him aWay
