Shank Finished Behind— Will Demand Recount.

The irresdstable Lew Shank, former mayor of Indianapolis and potato huckster following this defeat for remomSmation on the republican ticket by Charles Jewett, has demanded a recount of the votes. Jewett led the potato peddler and the-poor man's friend by 778 votes. The Shank managers charge fraudulent voting, sufficient to change the result on the face of the returns.
