The State Sure far Hayes on Democratic
F1gures-i Republican Minority Of 1,5oO
Claimed.
TALLAHASSEE, Nov. l1.-Returns have
been received from thirty counties, leaving
nine counties still to be heard from. In
those counties from which returns have
been received taking the Democratic liz
ures. the Republican maiorities are I,45S,
and the Democratic ma juritles /, I3S. In
SIX of the counties yet TO be heard from,
the Democrats claim maiioIities amounting
to 2.45O Three counties which have not
vet been heard from, will probably couL-
terbalance each other. These figures, 1t
must be remembered, are from Democratic
sources, but even taking these, Hayes has
majority of $50.
The Republicans claim much larger ma
iorities than these figures allow, and 1t is
very evident from private dispatches re-
/ ceived that the Democratic claim OF 2,4Du
in the six counties which are estimated, is
much more than the official vote will give
! them.
/ 4 fair canvass of the returns will proba'
! bly, show the election of the Repuhllcan
ticket by at least 1.500.
A large number of Democratic roughs
from New York are here acting as private
detectives, but their real design is to Spo
the friends of Gov. Hayes and shadow al
their actions.

perhaps in all, New York and Connec-

practiced to any great extent. In the

THE closeness of the present Preslden-
tial contest is directing attention to those
which have previously occurred IN when
there was the same narrowness OF DIVISION
between parties. The Tribune says that
four instances have occurred in which the
vote of some one State would have changed
the result.
In 1886 when the State Legislatures
chose the Electors, Adams had only ma
iority of two over jefferson, the vote being
II to &c. In 1912, President Madison was
chosen over De Witt Clinton by l2S to 81.
In this contest the vote of either Pennsyl-
yapia (23) or Virginia (23) would have
made De Witt Clinton President In 1874
the full Electoral vote Of New York GA
would have given Andrew jackson ma
iority of all the votes cast. AS 1t was ne
received only one vote from this State, and
the election devolved upon the House OF
Representatives. The contest in 1874 was
exceedingly close. Polk received l10 votes;
Clay, 1O5. The loss of New York ga votes
was fatal to Henry Clay. Folks plurality
in that State was only ), 106-so that a
change of ?, 554 votes would have secured
the election of Henry Clay, with all its
eventful consequences. At the sixteenth
Presidential election (1S4S) the vote of Ne"
York (34) or Pennsylvania ga would have
given Cass a majority over Taylor Buch
anan won in 1856 by 80 votes. Withou
tho aid of PENNSYLVANIA he would have haC
only 14S notes.-the exact number necessar.
to choice. Had Pennsylvania gone he
