TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 27.-The notice from
the Secretary of State to the other members of
the canvassing board to meet this morning to
canvass the returns, was withdrawn TODAY
McLin and Cowgirl refuse to obey the order Of
the court and will file motion to vscate the rule
and set aside the m andamus. Attorney General
Cooke will obey tn e mandate of the court by
making canvass himself and filing same IN
the clerks office this afternoon as directed by
the court. Ex-Attorney General Williams ar
rived this morning, and it is understood Judge
Wood will be in Florida tomorrow.
The Board Reconsiders the Vote and
Elect Hayes and Drew--Cocke Protests.
Later-AttorEey General Cooke made can.
vass OF the vote this morning after the other
members of the board refused to canvass This
gives Drew 497 and Tilden "a majority. This
canvass he filed in the clerks Office in obedl-
ence to orders of the court. Subsequently the
other members of the full board agreed to re.
canvass and the full board met at o clock this
afternoon. They just finished their canvass,
and by disregarding the order of the court
throwing out Clay Co. entirely and adopting a
false return from Baker, when they had the
jority of 1876 and Hayes electors BOG Cooke
filed protest.
The court re assemblers tomorrow ank will
review the action of the board.
The Recanvass only to Apply to State Off
cers-A Majority for Hayes on the Face
OF the Returns.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Advices received to-
day by the National Republican COMMITTEES
from their counsel and other prominent North
ern Republicans now in Florida, are to the
effect that the recanvass ordered by the state
Supreme Court applies only to the votes for
Governor, SC. and does not apply to votes for
Presidential electors. These advices also say
the Courts order is that in re-counting the
aforesaid votes the question whether county
return is so irregular, false or fraudulent that
the true vote cannot be determined, must be
decided by the board not on proofs shown them
but by merely inspecting the face of the return.
1t is conceded that the application of these
principles to votes for state officers will give
them to the Democratic candidates by 200 or
300 majority, but the Republicans say it is in
evidence that if it were possible to re-canvass
the electoral votes the msjorities for the Hayes
and Wheeler electors would at least be from 3S
to 43, respectively, according to the official GER
tifcate of the clerk of the board, dated and
published November 2Sth The Republican
counsel at Tallahassee also inform the commit
tee that if the board were to revise their fiud-
ings as to the regularity of each return on its
face, they would, under this order of the court,
be obliged to reject several county returns, and
thereby increase Hayes and Wheeler's majority
to between 200 and 300

How Hendricks Hurried Tilden.


The Saratoga correspondent of the
N. Y. Times gives the following Incl
dents connected with the publication Of

noon, having promised Governor Hen
bricks to be mere at 10 this morning. He

terlineations and erasures, and immedi-
ately sought an interview with Hen.
bricks, alter which he went to dinner at
the United States, anu returned to AL
bany by the 6 O'clock train. Tue inter-
view between the two wortnies was
very brief, as Hendricks is understood
to have declined any further palaver
over The fussy details of the Tlden
document, and insisted upon the pub
Iication OF the lett rs without further
delay. This was contrary to Tilden's
programme, which was to postpone the
publIcaLron till Monday morning. But
he had TO submit, and messenger was
dispatched to New York by the z. M.
train with slips of the letters. No sooner
had the messenger left than Hendricks
letter, printed OH halt sheet of paper,
was scattered broadcast around the ho-
tells, very much as programmes of the
races or quack advertisements are
hawked about here. Hendricks must
have known and assenLed to this, and
the excuse given by mis- iriends-Nn nieh
is certainly valid one-is that he was
afraid Tllden would recall the messen-
ger Ior more corrections OF his letter, and
ask for another weeks delay. Whatever
may have been the motive, the result
was that the politicians hereabOuts
had an opportunity to read and dis
cuss one of the long expected epis-
lies some twelve or fourteen hours
ahead OF their brethren in New York.
1t is generally well received among the
Democrats, VINO say it is straight
onward, manly document, square up 10
the platform, including the repeal clause,
and all right. Some think they Can de-
Lect sly dig at lilden in the second
paragraph OF the letter, where he says
1T would have been impossiD Dle Tor him TO
accept the nomination il he could not
"heartiiy" lndorse the platform. 1t is
well known that Tilden could not
heartily indorse" portion of the plat
form, and yet he does not find it impos-
sible to accept the nomination. Therein
lies the difference between the two meu,
and Hendricks was determined tnat the
public should note it. Others are Won
dering how much of the last paragraph
of the letter euloglzing the head OF the
ticket came from Hendricks neart, and
u0W much was pure hypocrisy and gam
mon. Everybody, ho"eyer, feels re-
lieved that the long agony is over and
The letters are at last i'll the hands of the
printers.
