Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Nov. 9.-Whiie the re-
suit in Indiana is still uncertain and it may
take the official vote to determine it definitely.
there is now a very strong probability that the
state has gone foy Cleveland, that the demo-
Gratis have elected ten ont Of thirteen Congress
men and that the legislature is undoubtedly
democratic on joint ballot. The returns are
coming in slow and scattering
The percentage of republican gain over 1890
which was large enough early last night to give
the state to Harrison by decided plurality
has been steadily decreasing since. Chairman
Taggart claims that the tabulated Western Union
returns. on which ali these comparisons are
based do not represent the real state Of affairs,
and that Indiana will give democratic plural
ity OF not less than 5000.
coSoREssMES ELECTED
The fight against Congressman Cooper on
account of the Raum investigation has proven
unavailing, as the returns indicate his election.
In this district Congressman Bynum is re-
turned by over 900 plurality against 5000 for
him two years ago. The republicans elect
Waugh in the tenth district and Johnson in
the sixth. but beyond this they have little con-
f1dence.
Chairman Gowdy of the republican state
lost the state, but evidence IL all against him.
The Indianapolis Ne,os at o'clock says that
every indication points to the fact that Cleve-
land has carried the state by plurality of
from 900 TO 1000.
1t also gives the democrats nine Congressman
and the republicans three and a democratic
majority on joint ballot in the legislature.
The Ne,os has received semi-oficial returns
from twenty counties in the state, which give
a democratic gain over the vote OF 1893 OF
2,327, which would practically wipe out Harri-
sons plurality in the state.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Nov. AT II o'clock
this morning complete returns had been re-
ceived from less than one-tenth of the
state. Information in the headquar-
tiers of the chairmen of both state COM
mi:tees is not sufficient on which to
base definite estimate, but the chances are the
state has gone democratic. The best informal
ton obtainable at this time is that the state has
gone democratic from 5000 to 1000.
Putnam county has elected the entire demo-
cratic ticket by 400 plurality. showing a repub-
lican gain of 200. Montgomery and Clay
senator and joint representative. The
peoples party polled a heavy vote in these
counties.
Ffty-one precincts in Fort Wayne show net
democratic gain of 327 over 1890.
Chairman Taggart of the democratic commit
'oo Cioiiio eAc'eu Jul VI tuc tuArtecu SouSrese-
men.
At 10 o'clock the returns indicated that Cleve-
land has carried Indiana by small plurality.
The republican state committee claim the
state. but give no figures. The returns will not
be all in until two o'clock this afternoon. No
returns on Congressman have been received
on account of slow counting. The indications
are that ten members will be returned
Two hundred precincts give Cleveland 49, ISL I:
Harrison q, 1873. The same precincts in 1890
gave Tustler II, 452 Matthews 1870 Repub-
ican gain 3.917 democratic gain 2,2ll net re-
publican gain 1, 706.
The vote in the state is close. Secretary
Reilly Of the democratic state committee made
a statement acquiesced in by Chairman Tag
CART that Cleveland will have the state by 5, 000
This is based upon returns from county chair
men.
Republican state headquarters were not open
until late this morning. Chairman Gowdy
arose with the impression that the state had
gone for Harrison. He will not concede that
the democrats have it, The legislature is DEM
Ocratic and the democrats have probably
elected eight Congressman, with possibility Of
one more.
Returns are not entirely satisfactory, because
the vote is so close. Not enough precincts
have been heard from to make an estimate alb
solutely trustworthy. The republican gains
over 1890 have been constant. and if ntained
would give the state TO Harrison by few hun
dred There are 1895 precincts in the state
The gain must be seven to the precinct over
1880 to give Indiana to the republicans.
