Some Close Voting.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.—The closeness of the senatorial race in some of of the counties is interesting. Unofficial returns from Clinton county show that Senator Kern defeated Harry S. New by ten votes, while in the same county, by the unofficial totals, James E. Watson was winner by one vote over Senator Taggart. A similar division between the parties occurred in Martin county, where New obtained four votes more than Senator Kern, while Senator Taggart rap twenty-six votes ahead of James E. Watson.
