OF course it is impossible in time
and space at our command togiye any
considerable number of the dispatches,
pro and con, from the thirty-eight
States which voted for President on
Tuesday last. The following is, how
ever. a complete resume Of the situa-
ton so far as known up to this Thurs
day morning:
Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky,
Missouri, Delaware, Maryland, Tex
as, Tennessee, West Virginia and
Virginia, with theirs 80 electoral votes,
belonged to Tilden, and the mortgage
was only foreclosed as expected.
Then there is Georgia and Mis-is-
sippi, where fair vote would surely
have been largely Republican, but
where the shotgun campaign had
rendered the success Of "Tilden and
Reform sure, thus adding l9 more
votes TO his column.
The two Carolinas, Louisiana and
Florida. with = votes. were in the
same boat with the last above named,
but latest advices give Hayes two of
them and leave the other two in doubt.
both parties confidently claiming
the victory.
New York. with her 35 votes, was
the center Of the great struggle; and
although it appear. that an
official count may lie necessary to de-
eide, the probabilities certainly are
that the great majority of II 90 piled
up for Tilden by Tammany tactics in
the rotten burroughs Of New York
city and county can not be overcome
by the rural vote, although the latter
is st rong for the right.
Then come the doubtful States of
Indiana, Connecticut and New Jersey
with thirty votes, all undoubtedly
transferred to the Tilden column by a
liberal use of money, the specious cry
Of reform and the change promo
ting pressure of .'hard times
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachu

New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania
Rhode Island, and Vermont, mostl,
States with rural population wht
read and think for themselves, carr,
as was anticipated, many ofthem witt
largely increased majorities, their l3
votes into the Republican camp.
These are followed to the same hav
en- by the far Western States of Cali
fornia, Colorado, Nebraska, Sevad
and Oregon, with Is votes. The al
is too pure out there for Democracy
although nearly everyone of thes
States have all the time been confider

This leaves only Wisconsin wit
her 10 votes, which are sturdily claim
ed by both parties with the chance
rather favorable to the Republicans.
A recapitulation of this statement Q
the situation gives Hayes II State
with l56 electoral votes; Tilden !
States with ia electoral votes; and
States, namely: Wisconsin, Florida
North and South Carolina and Louisi
ana in doubt. Ofthese there is goos
hope for adding to the Hayes column
the votes of Wisconsin, Louisiana an,
South Carolina, making total Of Isl
Florida and North Carolina, are thu
left TO decide the great issue; and al
though neither party have concede,
either Of them, the probabilities lool
to us favorable to Tilden's gettin,

to be elected.
