JACKSONVILLE, Nov 9.-Official returns from
nineteen COMMITTEES report Republican majority
of 4727. There are 20 counties to hear from
which gave Democratic majority in 1874 of
3151. Allowing the Democrats their majority
OF 1874, and the indications are that it will not
be increased. the Republicans elect their entire
ticket by 1876 majority.
If the twenty counties yet to be heard from
show Republican gains i'll proportion to the
counties given above, Gov. Hayes majority
will be at least 2200. Jefferson county gave in
1874 Republican majority Of 359. The official
returns are not yet in, but the majority now
will be 100 better. The Republicans certainly
have carried the state by handsome majority
and we hold the fort. Florida greets the nation
and conducts Hayes to the White House.
PETER JONES.
Sec'y Republican State Committee,
TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 9.-Five of the most pop
ulous counties give 5000 Republican majority,
large gain, which it is impossible for the Dem
ocratic counties to overcome. Many close coun-
ties show small Republican gains. The vote for
the state and electoral tickets is about even, ex-
cept in Duval county, where the electoral ticket
leads little over 100. The state is certainly
safe for Hayes and Stearns. Purman, Republi-
can, is elected to Congress in the LIST district
Returns from % counties give Republican ma.
jority of $500. There are 10 counties yet to
hear from.
