Indiana'* election on tlie 4Wt Inst. was under the now Australian system, and tire law everywhere gave complete satisfaction. At one of the Jackson township precincts in Blackford county the members of the *R M. B. A. adopted bulldozing tactics. Members of both old parties were driven •way from the polls. The bulldovers threatened to haug peroral of thoio who attempted to vote. The F. M. B. A. has drawn from both parties there, but will hurt Republicans the worst. Wayne county, for the first time in its history, elects the Democratic local ticket. This result is due largely to differences among the Republicans! The Demoorutic majority in Marion county ranges from 1,60 u to 11,.">00. The Indianapolis Sentiuel on the tjth aays: “The election nows from the State grows better as the returns come in. We claimed the [earth yesterday morning, as .there was nothing else in sight, and geo no reason to modify the opinion. The Demo-, crats have elected cloven out of the thir teen Congressmen, viz : Patton in the First district, Bretz in the Second; Brovvii Third; Holman,-Fourth; Cooper, Fifth: B.vuum, Seventh; Brookshire, Eighth; Patton.

The Republicans endeavored to pull off Judge Parrott yes —terday, but as our dispatches will show the judge has been elected by a handsome majority. The Republicans must content themselves with two Congressmen—Mr. Johnstou in the Sixth district and Judge Waugh in the Ninth. The Journal Says; The tale is very briefly told. Whether it was the now ballot law or the well-known propensity of Re* publicans to forget ail about voting on elction day, cartain it is that the Republicans did not get out more than about M) percent, of their vote. Both parties fell largely below their vole of ISbS, but, as usual, there were a great many less Democrats staid at home than Republicans. The returns are by no means complete as yet, but the precincts thus far reporting ■how a pretty even ratio between the losses of the two parties showing almost everywhere net Democratic gains The only bus far noted giving Republicans net gain* are Allen, Floyd and Daviess, all Democratic strongholds, .and Grant, where new factories and the n#,w Soldiers' Homo operated in favor of the Republi. cans.
