INDIANA.
In the landslide of 1894 the republicans
carried every congressional district in In
diana. A repetition Of that is not expected,
but the redistrictfng Of the state by the re-
publican legislature added five districts to
those that have been regarded as reason
ably certain. The third district was given
some of the strong democratic counties of
the first and second districts. making 1t
almost solidly democratic, and thus the first
and second were made close. The demo-
Gratis are thought to have a fair chance of
resaining the first, second. third, fourth,
fifth, twelfth and; thirte enth districts; but
the gold democratic vote may turn the bal
ance against them in some of -them.' -'7o0;
