GOV. HAYES ELECTION BEYOND
DOUBT.
SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS

SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS
Our news this morning is of the highest
Importance. South Carolina is shown to be
absolutely tsarred from the list OF States the
Democrats have been SO loudly claiming.
The count of the vote of the State is such as
to silence all complaints. Afraid that the
Board Of Canvassers would throw o1t the
hagrantly fraudulent vote OF counties in
which the shotgun policy had ruled, the
Democratic leaders by legal process tempo
rarily suspended the Judicial functions OF
the board, and compelled 1t to proceed with
the counting of the vote as presented. When
it became evident that even on this showing
the State had gone Republican, these leaders
objected to the result being publicly ANNOUNCE
Ell; and though the press reporters had been
present while the count was going on,
they now presented and urged 4 request that
they be excluded from the room. This the
board refused to do, and the result as aE-
nounced was that South Carolina, had gone
fox Hayes by nearly 1000. Rightfully. it
ought to be over 100000 The disappointed
Democrats Immediately began to bubble, in
which they may be wished much Joy. From
Florida our reports are such rs make us abate

noise is made about Louisiana, but the real
work is being done in Florida. They think
they see a last chance there, but the hope is
delusive. Hayes has the State beyond doubt.
There is no installing the tone of the Demo
Gratis in Louisiana. They have given up the
State--sullenly and with bitter notification;
but it is given up. That the count Of the vote
will be fair, open. and honest, the members
OF the Returning Board have done all that
lay in their power to SLOW Deprived OF any
complaint on this score, the Democrats give
up the game in advance, say they expect
nothing from the board, and cover their de-
feat by talking about the contest III Con-
gress. Ne again repeat our assertion that
Gov. Halyes has been elected President.

Colorado, at this particular time, is not in
favor with our de nocratic friends. They
even talk about contesting the election OF
Hayes, nj pom the ground that Colorado has
not the necessary population to ent.le it
to admission into the Union rs State
This, like, the claim of inelisibiltyOf several
electors, shows to what fine points their
desperation has reached. They might as
we'll c.:pt the inevitable. If the States of
louisiana and Florida are declared for the
Republican candidates, as we have not 4
particle lof doubt they will be. from the re-
liable es imates OF the popnlas vote we have
seen, Hayes will be inaugurated President
OF the United States ORA the 9TH day OF March
next. This might as well be accepted now
as hereafter. No petty bubble about the
eligibility of this Or that clector, will inter-
fere with the result.
