IxpraNaroLis, Ind., Oct. 9.—Thecity has been ina perfect furor of excitemont all day over the approaching clection, and little or no busl- nesa has been attended to of any kind, The Democratic tramps are stlll comlng in from all points, but the prompt and effective monsures taken by the police forco to prevent them from voting will rondor thelr visit fruftless, This afternoon the Democrats began to be frightencd at the bold stand taken by the Republicans, and called n conference of ten leading dtizens of each party .to consult wupon the aitua- tion, and determine some method by which & fair election could bo held. The call was made by Gov. Hendricks, ‘who recognized the fact that ho eouldn’t nfford to have a row in this city, and be prevailed upon his party maunagers to draw off thelr blood-tubs and bullies from abroad. The following is THE RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE: ‘To the end that the eloction ahall be penceful and fair, it must be condnucted by the legat voters of the city without any interfence whatever of persons from other localitica or States.

A most careful survey of the situation at mid- night eives full confidenceo! a Republican vie- tory to-morrow. Evidence of stupendous frauds by the Democracy has been constantly coming to light, but the preparations of the Ra publicans have been perfectly determined, This afternoon an agreement was entercd into by leading men of both partics to sccurca peacea- ble election, which the Republicana will keep, it the Democrats do, but it haa transpired that the Democrats are orobably acting iu bad faith, If that {s the fact, there will be trouble. It is impossible to get at Harrlson’s wajority, He will run probably 2,000 or more ahcad of his ticket, We pluce his msjority at certainiy 3.000, and it may go to 10,000, depending alto- gether on the ludependent vote, which 1 largely an uuknown quauntity, ltuu\lbhcuna are per- aectly contldent. To the Western Associated Press, InDIANAPOLIS, fud., Uct, U.—Tho city has been in a state of quict but intense excitement all day, Buth parties are confident, and are %nlntly agreeing upon methods for preserving he peace duriug to-morrow. The indications are that a full vote will be cast all over the State.

TIIE OVERTURLE, THE COOK COUNTY DEMOCRATS held thelr regular periodiend ennp-mecting ad Turner-Hall yesterday, Considercd as o County Convention, it was a signal and disastrous fall- ure. Contemplated as a howling, yelling mob, 1t was picturesque. The hour for assenbling was flxed for 11 o'clock, for the managers knew the stull of which the congregation was come posed, und how little they would care for busl- wess when any yowlingz could be done. And events showed thut they bullded wisely. The nominatfons could have been made and the whole thing over fn two hours and a half had the duties been confided to fntelligent people. As [t was, after a session of nearly eight hours, an adjournmeat was sprung untit to-doy, when the buslness will be finished, * It was plain in the start that there would be trouble.
