INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. There is
practically no change in the situation
in Indiana. The result is still involved
in doubt and both sides arc claiming
the triumph of their electoral ticket
and state officers by good round plu-
rality.
Chairman Taggart, OF tho Democratic
state committee, claims the state by n
plurality which he says will certainly
not fall below 10000, and both branches
of the legislature, with II out OF Is
members OF Congress.
Chairman Goudy, OF the Republican
state committee, with show oil conf
dence fully equal to that of Taggart,
saws: eve will surely carry our cleo
toral ticket and elect our candidates
for state Offices by pluralities OF not less
than 1000 and most likely 10000. We
will certainly elect five members OF
congress and probably seven, with a
fighting chance for two more"
The Peoples party chairman this
morning placed the Populist vote in
state at i9,500. Tho Prohibitionists
claim a vote of $1,000 in the state,
which is probably 5000 in excess OF
what they will receive.
The comparison of the vote in re-
ceiyinr returns tomorrow night will
be based on the vote OF 1890 when the
Democratic state ticket was elected by
10000 plurality. There nre 1909 pre-
cincts in the state, and to overcome

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. THE fol-
lowing is from Republican sources:
"on tho eve OF the election the ad-
vantages in this state are with
the Republicans. This is con-
ceded by the Democrats themselves.
Betting in Des Moines has been
two to one in favor OF Harrison. Re-
publicans are very confident tonight
and the only possible danger to them
is in the chance that the vote OF the
third party and Prohibitionists should
be unexpectedly large, which does not
seem possible from present advices."

My DEAR Mr.. BuRKE,-Having met
you at Homestead during the late
troubles, and knowing you to be inter
ested in my case, as you were on the
grounds at the time, and also knowing
you to be interested in the outcome Of

@. Frick, the newly elected chairman
Of the steel company. His record in
the coke regions as creator Of dis
turbances is known to all laboring men
throughout tho country. While head
of the great coal and coke industries,
which havc no connection with the
tariff, he was the cause OF yearly strikes
on the part of his laboring men, by
reason of his arbitrary dealings with
his employees. Never until he became
prominently connected with the carne-
gie interests had we cause to complain.
To his management alone is due the
entire trouble that has blotted the his
tory Of the Homestead Valley.
There is this about it: A number Of
alleged champions Of our cause, who
have been the source of constant In
jury to US, have been playing the part
OF the demagogue before the people OF

A circular has been sent out by the
Democratic national committee con-
tanning the exploded lie that II. q.
Frick and the Carnegie Steel Company
have contributed large amount OF
money to the national Republican CAM
paign fund. Ono hundred thousand of
these circulars were sent to West Vir-
ginia for distribution. Immense post
ers containing u cartoon calculated to
appeal to the passions Of wOrkingmen
are also distributed.
1t is a well known fact that Frick and
the Carnegie Steel company desire tho
election OF Cleveland and a Democratic
Congress. They are now in possession
OF the finest steel plant in the world, SO
far as machinery is concerned, and
with labor in this country as cheap as
in Europe they could beat the world,
and could compete with their products
in Europe or any other country. Steel
rails and steel billets are now very little
higher in price in this country than in
Europe, and to increase their trade still
further they do not now need protoc-
ton for their special industry so much
as cheap labor. With the European
rate of labor they could monopolize the
trade OF the world.
If the free trade party wins at this
election they can give good reason for
reducing labor to the English standard,
and probably will proceed to make the
reductions Immediately. Mr.. Frick is
not contributing TO Republican success
this year.
The Homestead workers, now on q
strike, know that their interests are
with the Republican party. Hugh
o'Donnell, the leader Of the strikers,
says he is stronger protectionist than
ever in the following letter, and de-
nounces those who are using the name
of the Homestead workingmen to fur
ther the interests of the Democratic
party:
The letter was written November Sd
to John ]. Burke, Pittsburg lawyer,

cause, and is now in New York. twas
