tire fairness in the prosecution Of the work
assigned them, and now it is conceded the
Republican Electors have handsome
majority, perhaps moi less than 6,OOO.
In Florida, the work of canvassing the
votes drsgs a little, in consequence of the
fact thatahe Democrats are holding back
the returns from several localities, There

for the accomplishment of their purposes.
AZ first Florida was conceded TO the Re-
publicans, hut soon II became evident that
they had lost SoutlrCarolina and Louisiana,
and without Florida there was no hope for
them. One OF TiLDEN's emmissaries was
dispatched to Florida with tho requisite
instructions and money 10 innugurate a
scheme for setting aside the expressed wish
