certain OF South Carolina Florida
is Still 1902 democratic. with only
one county yet to hear from
In New Orleans an injunction
has been applied for against the
boand Of canvassers. Leading dem
ocrats have invited leading republi
cans to a conference. Col. Burch
says troops are thickening and the
radicals determined to count the
State for Hayes. 1t may be settled
in few days and may take months.
Messrs. Doolittle, Trumbull, Ran
dali, Morrison, Lamar, Curtin and
Bigler are in New Orleans, deter
termined to get the bottom facts
and certify them to the country.
New ORLEANs, Nov. IA, 2 A. NJ
The SUMS advices give Louisiana
to the Democrats by 1878 majority,
and Florida by not less than 1000
In South Carolina Hampton's ma
jority is over 1900. Tilden runs
behind several hundred votes, but
he viii probably have a small ma
jority.
Special to the American.
Tilden undoubtedly carried the
State by over seventy five hundred
votes. His majority, after disfran-
chlsing five parishes, is over $500
Nevertheless, the general belief is
that the Returning Board will give
Tie vote to Hayes. That Board con
sistS OF Wells, a Federal Office hold
er, and Anderson, a candidate-both
disqualified-and two negroes. IF
Wells and Anderson are ruled out,
the two negroes have power to fill
the vacancies. One of the negroes
is keeper Of bawdy-house, and the
other an undertaken and gambler.
Northern Democrats here are
firm in the determination to reach
the bottom facts. BURCH.
The American says The sender
of the following dispatch is a cool,
clear headed, trustworthy man,
gentleman of prominence in Florida,
and one who would not have sent it
without full knowledge of its truth.
Special to the American.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 13.-The
Democratic majority is l 800 on the
State and national tickets on a fair
count. JAMES NJ. BAKER.
GEN. HA1IPToN's ESTIMATE.
COLUMBIA. Nov, Ito the Ed
itor Of the Herald: We have heard
from our Commissioners ia each
county of the State, in all thirty
two, with accurate reports of the
votes cast. We carry eighteen
counties for the State ticket and
nineteen for the Legislative and
county tickets The vote for Gov
ernor is the only one on which we
have full returns. The Democratic
majority for Governor is about
400. The balance of the State
ticket and Presidential ticket have
a smaller vote. The exact differ

think all will be elected. The Leg
islature has ia members in the
House and 33 in the Senate. We
have elected Ga members of the
House and Is Of the Senate, a ma
ljOrity of one on joint ballot.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-There be
gins to be some doubts expressed
again here as to the result in Ore
gon. A private message was re
ceived last night from Portland say
ing that the returns from that Stat,
are not near all in, and the esti
mates from some Of the remot,
counties were made up as Republi
can when in fact they were Demo
cratic. The Republicans, it will b,
remembered, only claim the Stat,
by 800 majority, ard if what is sale
in the dispatch referred to be tru,
there may still be considerable hon,
of Tilden's having carried the State
At the last election held it wen
, Democratic by something like 1000
and it looks as though the chances
were more than even for It's goin,
the same way this year.
