Indiana, speaking OF the campaign, said the
result in the State was in great doubt. Both
sides are making a remarkably earnest cam

managers of both sides The Legislature to
be elected this fall elects successor to
Voorhees,, so that the interest in the State
ticket is at least as deep as that in the Con-
gressi0nal districts. Senator VOORHEES, is a
candidate for reelection and his friends
claim the Legislature will be Democratic.
On the other hand the Republicans are very
sanguine and believe that they can carry
the Legislature, rs well as majority of
Congressional districts. 1t is said that
President Harrison will go home to vote.
The most interesting bit of information
brought to Washington from Indiana is the
statement that Colonel w. w. Dudley is ac-
lively engaged in the direction of the CAM
paign and that if the Legislature goes Re-
publican he will be by all odds tue most
prominent candidate for United States Sen
ator.
