1NDIANAPoLIs, Oct 27.-The Indians
canvass WAKES hotter each day. There ha.
been samethIng of a lull here out of respec,
to the affection of the President, but
through the State the campfres of both par
ties are in full blast The Democratic State
Committee say that Cleveland will have at
least TO- 900 plurality this time. In 1888 II
was generally conceded that Indiana would
go Democratic, but the claimed majority OF
the Democrats diminished until the elec-
tion.
Both parties are now on their guard, each
expecting the other to make move. There
is much discussion as to the vote of the
Populists Both of the old parties claim
the new party is declining, but this is de-
MED by the latter. A conservative estimate
of the strength of the Populists gives them
vote of $4,000 Neither of the old parties
anticipates SO heavy vote, and the ques-
tion is as to which will be the greater
losers.
The Populist managers claim that they
draw about equally from the two big par
ties. A member of the Populists' State
Committee is authority for the statement
that it they cast 80, 600 votes in the election
the Democrats will lose 5000 more votes
than the Republicans If this be true, the
contest will be very close indeed.
Republicans Inclined to Be Reticent
Around Republican headquarters the
Dartv managers are very reticent as to what
they think of the condition of the party.
Chairman Gowdv, when questioned, merely
saws: ave are satisfied" Secretary
Milliken, of the Republican State Commit
tee, VIII say nothing regarding the cam
ralgn or the possible result
Chairman Tallgart, of the Democratic
State Committee, now believes that the
State will be Democratic OF course he
has always been OF this opinion, but claims
TO have the facts at hand which will bear
out the statement
81 would like to say this much" he said
today. ''The Republican managers know
as well as 1 do that Indiana, BY any ac-
curate poll, has Democratic majority.
The Republicans know that Indiana Is
Democratic State and that it has been so
for the past ten yeurs. They have snatched
it from US heretofore by foul means, but
want to say now that we have this State,
and that no methods which our opponents
Will adopt, fair or otherwise, can defeat
'Do you know that the Republicans are
ueihS uoueg III any stctiOn Oh tne St6te9
Not Accused of Using Money.
"Well, can't rightfully accuse them of
thing of which am not certain, but /
know now that several of their trusty men
are going about through the State, stopping
here and there, and that after their depart.
ure there is a sudden awakening of en-
thusiasm"
"What will your poll books show as to
the political status of the State?''
"Our poll will show q Democratic maio
ity, as every poll will, if taken accurately.
The Republicans will not deny that their |
own poll gives us a majority. and they will |
try by the use of money at the last moment |
to offset this
"And you will use money to counteract
this?"
''No, sir. 1 only wish we had some
money"
1t looks much brighter for the Republi- |
cans than two weeks ago The Reid and |
Depew demonstration helped to arouse the
Republican vote, and sympathy for the
President will unquestionably assist in
calling out the full strength of the party,
The tender sentiments Of the women have
been aroused, and when the women get in
terested it makes q heap of difference. Bet.
ting men are nonplussed. What little is
being done is In favor of Cleveland.
