What tn New York Journals Say.
NEW y.,nK, Nov. 1.-THE Herald, on
$he 1'Sesitisntial contest, says the prob
lem is not yet solved, and it is probable
we shall not get decisive official news
from any Of the disputed States for a
week or ten days.
The World still feels warranted from
its aQVices to believe in Tilden's sue
cess, and is assured that he has MAORI
ty of votes cast in all three of the dis.
puted States.
The Times contents itself with o gem
eral discussion OF the situation, but
makes no assertion in reference to the
claims of either candidate.
The Tribune also retrains from making
any allusion to the probable success Of
either Hayes or Tllden in its summary
Of the political situation.
The Tribune says the Governor of C al
ifornia denies that he has said he will
not certify to the election returns OF that
Stale.
The Situation.
NEW YORK, Nov 17.-At the political
headquarters things are notably quiet.
The scene is very different from that of
a few days since. Public interest in
the present political crisis can scarcely.
be measured, however, by outward ap-
pearauces. There is no great public ex-
citement, no surging crowds at head
quarters, no bustling mobs gathered at
the newspaper bulletin boards, but
there exists powerful under-current
of interest in the political problem now
being solved by the nation. The Off.
cials at Democratic headquarters are
besieged with inquiries, personal, tele-
graphic and postal, from all parts of the
country for news as to the election. They
stated that they had no news of any
kind. The situation remains practic.
ally unchanged. That they had no
doubt Of Gov. Tilden's election, but
what the result of the official count in
the South would be, was impossible to
tell.
Gov. Tilden is sanguine of the election
being declared in his favor. He daily
receives large number OF visitors, and
is seemingly the most unconcerned per-
son of them all.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Govern
ment is without official information con-
cerning the action of the Canvassing
Boards in either South Carolina, Florida
or Louisiana. Private dispatches re-
ceived here to-day from all three States,
from both Democratic and Republican
sources, still claim the States tor their
respective parties. Very little attention
is paid to such dispatches, all parties
here preferring to wait for final action OF
the Returning Boards.
FLORIDA.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Secretary
of the National Republican Committee
received the following telegram this
morning:
TALLAHASSEE, Nov. IT.
"To Hon. Richard Z. Mccormick, Washington,
ID. c.:
"All right here. How is 1t elsewhere |?
GSigned1 "F. W. OsBoURNE."
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 17.-Attorney
General VIM. A. Cocker, OF Florida, has
sent the following dispatch to the Ga.
zette OF this city:
TALLAHASSEE, Nov. IS.
"The returns OF the County Managers
of the election are not yet in. The
Board of State Canvassers, OF which l
am one, does not meet until thirty-fve
days after the election, but you can rest
assured that Tilden has carried the
State and that Drew, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, is also elected.
do not think the Radicals can cheat
the Democrats out OF the election"
