The Philadelphia Times SAYS as to
the issue of the contest: Judge Jere. Black
advances the novel idea that it will result
in the election of Tilden and Wheeler. in
the following manner: He believes Louisi-
ana and Florida gave majority for Tilden.
Dut that the vote of each will be counted
Tor Hayes. and a result the votes of
those States will be thrown out by Con
gress when it shall meet to count the cleo
toral vote. This will throw the election of
President into the House and Of Vice-Pres-
Ident into the Senate. The former vou1d
undoubtedly elect Tilden and the latter
Wheeler. So Judge Black figures it out.
