New York, November 9.-The Tribune
says this morning: We feel warranted
in saying that Gov. Tilden Is not yet sure
Of more than 1874 electoral votes, and is
In fact in a little doubt about 10 Of those,
which come from North Carolina; that
Gov. Hayes is sure Of 1871, without count
ing Florida, and that in spite Of tele-
graphic denials the probabilities point to
bis having carried Florida also. Every
thing therefore seems to hinge on this
State. III, as we now believe, It has gone
Republican, the Electoral College, at the
worst, will stand 1856 for Hayes to 1874 for
Tilden, a result close beyond all prece-
dent. .ynLl
The Herald says editorially: Accord.
ing to the latest returns, Nevada, Califor.
mia, Oregon and Wisconsin have given
their electoral votes for the Republican
candidate, and Mr.. Tilden's only chance
OF an election depends on the possibility
Of his having carried Louisiana or South
Carolina. The antecedent probability
was that South Carolina would go Re-
publican, and there is as yet nothing in
ihe authentic news TO contradict that
supposition. II South Carolina does not
support Hayes its vote will be doubtful.
The Republican canvassing officers Will
easily find reasons or pretexts for coutn-
ing Tilden out Of his chances. As things
now look they are narrowed down to his
getting the electoral vote Of Louisiana.
Roth parties claim the State, and when
the Presidential election is found to de-
pend on the electoral vote OF one State a
emptation is presented which the ordi-
nary frail virtue Of political par
ties cannot be expected to resist.
The country must accept the official
action Of the State authorities until it is
demonstrated to be wrong, and the only
body entitled to pass on the sutticiency
Of the demonstration is Congress Of
which one branch is controlled by the
Republicans and the other by the Demo-
crats, and which can not be expected 10
agree on question which so profoundly
affects party interests. It is 10 be de.
plored that there is possibility OF dan.
gerous differences arising between them.
Ii, as dispatch received at very late
hour seems to indicate, Florida has gone
Democratic, this grave danger will be
obyiated; but the situation is so critical
that il will cause anxiety in all minds
which think public tranquility more i'm.
portant than the success Of either candi.
