INDIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November g.
Election day is characterized by legendary
republican weather. The sun is shining
brightly and the air is crisp and invigorat-
ing. The first hours vote was very heavy.
There will be considerable scratching on
the county ticket, especially by the demo-
Gratis. The congressional fight between By
mum and Henry has been the hottest ever
known in this district. and the large ma
jority of Bynum will be likely cut down
considerably, If not wiped out
FORT WAYNE. Ind. November G-This
city, county and congressional districts are
strongholds of democracy, but the repub-
lcans have carried on an aggressive cam
paign, charging maladministration on the
part of the democratic county officers. AS
result many democrats are scratching
their tickets. The democrats will probably
elect their four members of the legislature
in the county.
In the district the contest for Congress-
man will be close. The weather is fine and
the largest vote for years is being poled
