The Democrats of Indiana haveoempleted tbelr poll et the state, and the footings bave been made by the state central eemaatttee, and the result la a stronger oeafldMoe In tbe ability of tbe party te carry the state for tbe national and state nominees and also te secure a majority In tbe general assembly. Koengh la known te settle the queettea of pluralities, and It may be positively stated that the Democrats can reasonably depend upon an Increased vote ever IBSt.Tand that tbe plurality will net fall abort of 9,000. Tbe qneatlen submitted by tbe com mittee. What, if any. dlasatlsfaotlea ezlata as. te Cleveland T" la Invariably answered by tbe same monosyllable "Nene," and this la also true of the ques tions propounded regarding the state ticket With respect te local candidates theretaraa ahew dissatisfaction only in the oeun ties of Jehnsen and Shelby and Resh, the first two composing a J adlelel circuit, and the latter, with Shelby, forming a senatorial district. The dissatisfaction In the Judicial circuits results from the nomination of L. J. Hackney ferjudge, and in the senatorial district from tbe nomination of Scott Ray for senator. In neither case, however, is tbe dlseintent very pronounced, and It is estimsted that the party opposition te the candidates will dlssappear entirely before the eleotlen. As the poll was made in each county by reliable and experienced men, who were paid for tbelr labor, it may be relied upon as giving accurate figures. The most proneunoed gains aa shown by the poll are from the manufacturing eitles of Evansvllle, Fert Wayne, Seuth Bend, Terre Haute, Riehmend. and New Albany. all of whleh are also railroad cities. The gains In each instance oeme from tbe laboring elassea, snd emphasize the fact that the op position te Harrison among this elaas is very proneunoed. in tbe majority of cases the poll shows the strength of tbe state and national tickets te be about the same, but in the cities named Cleveland appears te be stronger than the state tleket In the eight counties which constitute tbe natural gas belt et tbe state and where the Republicans expected te make large gains tbe Democrats appear te be holding their vote et four yeara age and te have gained among the new population In equal proportion with the Republicans. The poll In these counties was taken before aey tariff documents were distributed, and the suB-eesttens of the list takers Indioate that the distribution et this literature will add a great man; votes te the party. In the strictly agricultural oeuntlos the poll ahewa a very gratifying state of affairs, the party making a few gains among the prominent and wealthy elassea and many among the farm laborers and mechanics of the small towns and county seats. Among the coal miners of Southern Indiana there appeara te be mere doubtful voters than in any ether class, but tbe majority of theee have been Republicans. THE HKreni,IOA.N vote itaxmncj off. There Is little doubt but the Prohibition gain, as shown by the poll, comes from tbe Republicans. In several of the Republican strongholds of the state notably Wayne, Wabaab. Randelnb. Delaware and Henry counties tha poll shows large Prohibition gains and a corresponding tailing oft et the Republican vote, very little et whleh out side et Richmond can be counted as Demo cratic gain. In tbe Democratic counties tbe Prohibition voteBhews a slight lneresse, but the Demoeratlo vote showing equally as moon ever tour years sge, it is plain that Prohibition gains Indicate Republican less. Four years age tbe Prohibitionists polled about 4,000 votes, and two years later this was deubled. The poll lndleates tbst their vote this year, while a gain ever 1884, will ahew a less aa compared with two yeari age and will net exceed 7,000. Oatalde of a few cities the poll falls te show that thereare any adherents te tbe alleged caue et labor as represented by the Union Labnr party, and the total will net figure up 600 votes. This is naturally regarded as a very advantageas olream. atance by tbe Democrat, ss tbe labor vote of tbe state Is Democratic In tbe proportion of about tbree te one for tbe Republicans. The committee have reoelved tbe names of a large number of laboring men through out the state who were formerly Republi cans, but who will vote with the Democrats this year, and through them a list et names bas been rocelrod of their fellow laborers te whom it will ba profitable te send tariff and ether political document?.

This prospect uuu urupa nore ana railing crops in Europe Is tha keynote te the besineea situation in this country at present.

Speculation In feed products, while It may net always be harmful, has tha tendeney te abnormally In fluence the prlee of wheat and either advanee or depress It above or below the legitimate standard. There Is a danger In the great speculation In wheat whleh Is new In Dresresa In the nrndnna exnhnnvii. where from 10.000.000 te 35,000,000 bushels have ebanged hands In a single day. The danger lies net alone In tbe peril that always exists In option trading, but alae In the possibility tbat the prlee may be ae manipulated that tbe country may lese mueb. of the advantage which it bas In being the main storehouse for European neeteiltle.

It was only a short time age when tbe rates were merely nominal, at less than Id. The trade reports continue te show tbe improvement in business that bas been manifest alnea early In July. R. Q.

Tbe stats of spec ulative markets tends te prevent farmers from sending forward their products promptly, and at the Seuth resistance of grodueers te tt.e exactions of the ootton eotton oetton gglng trust keeps baek stocks. Yet there Is a noticeable Inereaae In confidence as te the Immediate future of business In almost every quarter from which reperta are re ceived, and banking returns show a con tinued Increase In exohaeges, In part, of course, because of greater speculative activ ity."
