RETURNS ALL ONE WAY.
The Republican Managers Were Ma

turally Well Pleased.
AS early as o'clock last night there was
TO longer doubt in the minds of the most
pessimistic Republicans of a general Re-
publican victory. The telegraph instru-
ments at state Republican headquarters
began ticking off glad tidings from other
States, and by o'clock Chairman Hernly's
face was wreathed I'm smiles. He sat at his
desk studying the bulletins after they had
been read aloud by Eugene Bundy, of the
state executive committee.
a crowd of gentlemen were gathered in
Chairman Hernlys private room listening
TO the dispatches as they came in. At 1880
o'clock Chairman Hernly repeated the
statement he had made several times in the
past week that Indiana would give Re-
publican majority of at least 10000. AT
that hour but little had been heard from
over the State, but the air seemed charged
with good news, and the chairman felt that
1t would only be question of an hour or
two before his feelings would be fully
borne out by reliable reports.

the county Republican committee, declared

The air about Democratic State head

o'clock last night. With long-drawn
solemn faces Green Smith. Myron D. King

coffin at notwithstanding to Mr. Martin
read the discouraging news from the coun

Returns began coming in from New Yorl
and other Eastern States before the poll
in Indiana closed, and in this way the re
suit from outside began to be apparen
before the Indiana vote had scarcely com
menced to oe counted. The leaders a
