Situation.
lBy Telegraph to the Evening Journal
NEW York, Nov. s.-From all over
the country yesterday came messages to |
the Democratic National committee
which strengthened their confidence
that Grover Cleveland would today be
elected to the presidency. There came
from states which had not heretofore
been counted on as certain to choose
Cleveland electors messages which were
freighted with confidence and based ON
the closest canvasses Of experienced
Democratic managers They pointed in
but one direction, and Democratic conf.
dence, which had been strengthening all
the week, was greater last night than II
had ever been before.
Secretary Sheerin Of the Campaign
Committee returned from Indiana yester.
day and brought cl eering Information
from his State He had been in Indiana
five days, reviewing the situation there
holding conferences with leading Demo.
Gratis. He estimated the minimum plu
rality for Mr. Cleveland In that State at
5000. He said he thought it might be
larger than that.
There is no question about how In.
diana will 60 tomorrow, Mr. Sheern
said. "Our party has never been 80
thoroughly organized Chairman Tag.
CART, the State Committee, and the, sew
eral County Committees have done most
admirable work. II is due TO the Repub-
lican leaders TO say that they have made
an honest, intelligent effort to organize
their party, and so far as has been pos
sible they have good organization,
but the conditions have been against
them. Every one who has had much ex.
perience in politics know that there are
times when perfect organization is i'm
possible when there can Oe no cohesion
induced, no matter how hard 10 may be
striven for. The Republican Party Of
Indiana is in that condition today.
Many OF its members agree with us on
the tariff issue, and many more have per.
sonal reasons sufficiently strong TO make
them decidedly weak in the support Of
Mr. Harrison
The people Of Indiana believe in Mr.
Cleveland. They want tariff refor .,
homes administration OF government
and the stamping out Of Federal inter
ference in local elections.
This statement was corroborated by a
dispatch from Chairman Taggart, Of the
Democratic state committee Of Indiana
He sent message 10 Mr. Harrity saying
that kilograms from every county In the
state showed that the party was lin
good shape and ready for the contest, "
eve would say 10 you" said Mr. Tag
CART, "that Indiana will be in line for the
entire Democratic ticket by large ma.
iority."
Ex-Governor Gray, Of Indiana, sent a
message in which he said
''lhe Democrats of Indiana are thor
oughly organized and will be at the polls
tomorrow. We are as confident Of carrying
the state on this, the eve of the elec-
tion, as we have been at any time since
the beginning of the campaign / have
no hesitation In saying that Cleveland
will carry Indiana by the largest plural
ity ever given a Democratic Presidential
candidate since the war.
The news from Wisconsin, Illinois and
Connecticut was more than satisfactory.
From Illinois a dispatch was received
from ex.Judge Lambert Tree, formerly
minister from the United States TO Bel.
gium. He said:
''rhe confidence Of the Democrats Is
supreme that they will carry Illinois.
The sentiment favoring Cleveland's cleo
tion appears everywhere, and the tide
turned toward him has increased enor
mOusly within the last few days"

committee from Wisconsin, sent dis
patch in which he said he had tele
graDhed every county chairman on
Saturday night and again last night

, every hour.

our success in this state. l fully agre'
with him"
John sherman, the West Virgins
member of the National committee, sent
a dispatch TO Chairman Harrity saying
that the consensus Of opinion was thai
