Benjamin Wood was inclined TO differ with Mr. Ian
I'm regard 10 South Carolina He believed that tie stas
had gone for Wade Hampton, but he declared that tier,
was strong Hampton and Hayes party the State and
for this reason he thought that the Hayes electoral
ticket would be successful. Mr. Wood however looked
at the matter with the eyes Of betting man, and
thinking that Tiden lacked only vote, while Haye,
would have TO carry several doubtful states 20 Ia
elected, he expressed himself willing to
give odds on Tnden. lie offered 70 bet even
on ANY one Of these doubtful states that il would

ting him on his handsome majority of 10000 Gan IN

asked him his opinion Of the general result for the Prs
dency 1t was evident from Mr.. Hewitts manner that
he looked upon the issue very doubtful The issue,
according TO the figures then in The TRIBUNE ONCE
had been narrowed down to the votes OF Louisiana
and South Carolina. This fact was mentioned To Mr..
Hewitt He said d" the vote was evidently very close,
and that il would probably be decided 10y the vote OF
those two States" He evidently feared, without saying
So that Louisiana and South Carolina would both be
counted in for Hayes "This action he sad, would
be such as every patriot would regret as the cons
ouences to the country would unquestonably be very
serious If Mr. Tden is elected" added BIZ Hewitt, .

people Of the whole country Of both parties for much OF
Mr. TIden's support has come from the Republicans"

A DAY OF SUSPENSE.

The dispatches OF yesterday checking the CONN.,
dence of the Democrats and changing the depreS-
sion OF the Republicans to hope, caused the most IN
tense excitement in this city and filled the streets
with throngs of people as eager for news ana a.
enthusiastic over encouraging announcements as 'he
crowds of Tuesday night. Gov. Tilden coulu hot
conceal his depression during the afternoon ana
Mr.. Hewitt and other prominent Democrats mani
tested the greatest anxiety. At Republican
HEADQUARTERS gloom was converted INTO Joy,
not unmixed with apprehension lest the revived
hone of victory might finally prove to be an
error. The newspaper Offices were beseged with
anxious multitudes and the bulletins were scanned
with the utmost eagerness. TRIBUNE extra sent
the Jews through the city that Tilden was one vote
md short and might yet prove have been defeated
this possibility formed the great theme OF thought

OPINIONS AT THE MANHATTAN CLUB.

The parlors of the Manhattan Club were by
10 means iu last evening. Few prominent politicians
were present al o'clock and the number did not III
crease much the evening wore away. No arrange
ments had been made to receive news b. telegraph,
the persons present relying Tor information
on what they had heard at the Democratic head

from other persons who had CHANGED to drop in their
way home from other places. The feeling seemed to B.,
hopeful but not enthusiastic The express of CONT
dcuce were cautiously made and in all statements OF
positive nature way OF provided by con-
yeuient IL" The majority OF those engaging in the
universal topic OF conversation seemed consider the
result OF the election mainly in ifs bearings ON vagcr-
that had been laid. Those who had INDUCED in no bets
showed disposition 10 mediate ana say nothing.
John T. Agncw expressed the utmost cunAde &c that
M Hidden would be found be elected when the result
OF the known. He based his estimates the
reports OF the Associated Press, giving Mr. Tiden Isl
electoral votes and relying Of the still doubtful.
States to turn the scale in his favor. Mr. Agnew de-
clared his heief that Louisiana Democratic by the
popular vote but that Il might be counted for the RcpuD
leans by fraud.
ExMayor Oakley Hall said he knew little about the
vote in the States represented he doubtful and from
which Mr. Tden's majority would have to come, bu on
general principles he had made bet within a
few minutes that those OF the States cassed
rs doubtful would give msJ0Tities for Thdcn.
He regarded the unfavorable which had come in
during the afternoon as the work OF Republicans who
were trying 10 hedge their bets South Carolina, he said
had already been conceded 60 Wade Hampton, and OF
course It must also be given up to Tden for Chamber

and conservative there was a disposition TO await more

publica's that they had probably lost the re-
quisite number of electoral votes TO secure 'he

feet OF the election Of Tden until after the question was
finally decided During the afternoon the name OF
August Belmont was suggested the probable Secretary
Of the Treasury after the 4th Of March next in case IL
should prove that Mr. Tllden had been elected
Night brought greater quiet in the city The streets
were more animated than usual and the crowds about

rush and intoxcaton OF excitement and surface enth
sasm in keeping with the barrel bonfrcs were chahseu

OrISIJN or EX-JUDGE EMoTF.
Ex-Judge James Emott was called upon, last
evening by TgIsE reporter, and said that he feared
q Democratic administration more on account of the
financial policy of that party than for other reason
Gov Tlden's personal views were comparatively unoD
iectionabe but doubtful whether lac could resist
the influence of the who elected him. There were
many in the Democratic party who favored the
issue OF paper money by the Government
and the abolition OF the national D'hhs
such an action could only have a detrimental
eject upon the country The Government would have
the power TO issue any quantity OF such money ana
could never be compelled redeem IL. The creaog OF
money in this way would be forced loan upon winch
the Governcmcnt would pay no interest and when IL
might never pay had all the power in its own hands
This system advocated by the adhcrents OF the ola
JacksoHidn theory Of the United States Bank. Inc
Democratc principles not so Trustworthy ana
intelligent upon the financial questions OF the day as
were those Of the Republican party Cen Grant, oy MS
dogged obstnacy regarding the financial policy OF inc
nation had been OF great service to the country ana tue
people could be too grateful for that action however
much they might d trust his character and deprecate
many OF his political acts. Judge Emott said he
did not fear any trouble in regard to the Southern
claims the people of the country never would submit
to the payment of disloyal and Illegal claims upon the
Government.
The Republican failure If failure, was due to
the hard times which many thought were due to Rcpub-
Iican rule and the pursued by Gen. Grant ana
those Immediately surrounding him. IT would have
been much better campaign for the Republicans II
they had gwen greater prominence to the element OF
reform in their party

defeated candidate for Governor than any OF the long
faced Republicans who greeted him. His step was qock
and his Whole manner marked by an air Of cheer
fulness that formed pleasing contrast to tie prevail
lrc depression caused by the carly returns
In conversation with TRIBUNE reporter, he expressed
his deep regret and disappointment at what then not
only appeared bee the partys defeat in the state nn
in the country He said that having consented To acrcp
the Republican nominate IN for Governor, ana believing
that the best interests Of the State depended upon Re-
publican supremacy, he had zcaously lahor'd for ms
own election far his personal feelings were con-
cerned there was much 10 mitigate the natural dlsa'-
oiutnent al defca the preference felt by his family
and himself for staying in NewYOrk; in the desrdbty
Of remaining within reach OF his business ana oicr ~
terests The overwhelming victory OF the Democrats IN
the state was largely attributable, he thought to TIE
votes Of the unemployed classes, who believed they
would remedy their condition by change
In rpplv to the questions " a reporter from THE
TRIBUNE last evening, GOV. Morgan said that there was
little more that he cared 10 say The election was over
and must patiently wait the authentic returns.
He had confidence in HayeS's election and attributed
the great success of Tdcn in winning so many votes
AWAY from the Republican party the hard times ana
the general desire for change He thought the returns
from Georgia in the october election proved coercion
Of the negro vote beyond doubt whole
counties going Democratic without any opposition
which were formerly Republican If 1t should turn

uhass upon the last word, "cycry honest Republican

with smile. The greatest fear entertained by Gov.
Morgan was that Tldcn would allow himself and tn"
party TO be governed by the South as was the ease co
hc war and he condemned the influence Of the South in
