No Way that Gov. Tilden
Can be Counted
Out!
He is Elected Beyond Doubt
HE HAS CERTAIN 203 ELECT0-
RAJ VOTES!
He is Elected Beyond Doubt

RAJ VOTES!
The situation about the Presiden-
tial election is simply in a nut shell,
a Democratic nutshell and can be ca
silly and truthfully explained. Til
den has received 209 electoral votes
thus: New York, Indiana, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and the "solid
South" In the three Southern
States of South Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida, there are Counting
Boards, and here comes in the SEEM
ing doubt, which for the past five
days has bothered most of our peo-
pie, but we are placid and serene
over it and feel and know we are the
winners this time, and that Samuel
J. Tilden is the President elect of
these United States. There is but
one way to cheat Tilden out of his
election, and that is a rather hard
anu rugged road just now for Radi
calism to blaze. 1t is to swindle
Tilden out of the nineteen electoral
votes of South Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida, all Of which three States
have cast majorities for him, and
then count them all solid for Hayes,
which would cheat him by ONE vote.
Whereas if they leave Tilden ONE
single vote Of the nineteen he is
elected.
The very latest and most reliable
we have from our State, except the
parishes of Caldwell and Cameron
Nichols majority fcots up 1852,
throwing out entirely Ouachita:
Nforehouse, East and West Baton
Rouge, simply because the Radicals
are believing the old intimidation
cant. In a word, on a fair and hon
est count our majority, fair, just and
honest, cannot be under $500!
We append the latest kilograms on
the situation, and to close ask and
beg our friends to keep cool, to be of
good cheer for all is lovely, and our
friend Wise's goose hangs high in
cool Democratic breezes!
SAVANNAH, Nov. 10.-Advices to-
night from reliable sources say Til
den, Drew, Congressman, and Legis-
lature elected in Florida. The eight
counties of Duval, Alachee, Gads-
den, Jefferson, Leon, Madison and
Nassau give aggregate Republican
majority Of 1884.
This, without any increase, would
give a total majority Of 1884 and
elect the Democratic ticket by ma
jority of 292. The Is counties to
hear from, however, will certainly
increase the majority of 1874, from
1900 to 1900 and the entire ticket
will be elected by majorities ranging
from 1000 to 1900. The State has
most certainly gone for Tilden and
Hendricks.
The other counties of the State
have certainly gone Democratic. Re
turns from thirteen counties, Baker,
Bradford, Clay Columbia, Hamilton,
jackson, Levy, Monroe, Orange, Polk
Putnam, St. Johns and Pawnee give
an aggregate majority of 1920; the
remaining eighteen couties in 1874
gave Democratic majority aggregat
ing 1905.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. II, Excite
ment to day and yesterday intense,
though comparatively undemonstra-
tive. The suspense on both sides is
painfully sensational Republican dis
patches placarded at the Centennial
grounds increased the general uneasi-
ness tonight. Republicans weaken
perceptibly before the persistent and
apparently well-known claims of the
Democracy to all three doubtful
Southern States, and generally they
seemed respondent. There is nc
betting at the pool rooms. Odds Of
500 to $40 are freely offered on
Tilden, but find no takers. In fact
Republicans decline to bet at all.
Their leaders, though, continue tc
claim the election. Hon. S. j. Ran
dali leaves for New Orleans at mid
night. Col. A. X. Mcclure, a fail
