The Full Vote For President.

Since printing our table in The Daily

full returns from California and Nevada,
except part of one county in the former
State, leaving only Oregon to be esti-
mated. The result will be found in the
table below, taken from the Tribune AL
manac for 1865, to be issued within a
few days. We compare the vote with
that of the same States in 1860, mt which
time Mr. Lincoln was in minority of
1880. He now has 4O7 ,3Sl majority
which shows n change in his favor equal
to 3i6,95l votes. There are several
counties and good many soldiers votes

late for official count for Electors, al
though, in II few instances, such votes
