From the New York Herald.

TALLAHASSEE, November l5.-The
Official figures constantly coming in
wonderfully confirm the estimates made
on individual reports. With nearly all
the official returns at hand it is i'm
possible that Drew's majority can be cut
below 800 or Tildens below 400 There
is wonderful change in the tactics of
the Democrats in the last two dsys. All
their inertness and feeling Of discourage
ment . has gone; from acting on
rather feeble and desultory often
sive they have suddenly assumed
the aggressive, and with wonderful en-
ergy and organization they sre attack
ing the Republicans on all sides with
charges OF fraud, illegslty and miscount-
ing. They have filed elaborate protests
against the Legality OF the vote of Leon
and Jetftrson counties, each coving
Republican majority Of 1000 The bill
OF exceptions against Jefferson county is
particularly ample, containing ten spe-
! cific counts. II is claimed there has been
u miscount; that there were fifty two
more votes in the box than were checked
on the registry list; that the clerk was
| when there were no votes being cast,
and that colored Democrats were intimi-
dated.
DEMOCRATIC MAJoRIrIEs UNAssAILABLE.
Chairman Pasco OF the Democratic
State Committe has rctarned TO head
quarters permanently, and SAYS that he
Uas carefully canvassed the facts in the
points of the contest, and is not only sure
that the Tiden msjorities in the State
can be sustained, bat that at least two
Republican counties mu,t be thrown out.
He reports the situation as much better
than he expected, the majority being not
only decisive bit squarely unssssilable
THE STATE CALHTED FAIRLY AND HON
ESTLY.
Ex-Governor Joe Brown. who has
abstainet from any positive comment
until he had thoroughly oyerhauled ull
the returns and the facts, now declares
he is prepared 70 say that Mr. Til.
den has carried this state fairly and |
honestly. His majority is positive and |
ample. We shall be able tD sustain |
determined to trampiG over 'e'eiy'"'ds
We shall be able to p''scnt the matter
To the American people IN such shtp"
that it could not be sustained single
month.
General Pierce Young has just re-
TUNED from an authorized tour through
the contested counties and endorses
what Governor Brown has TO say.

From.
Special Dispatch TO the Enquirer

Thompson has just received the follow.
ing:
"rALLAuAss EE, FLA November 10
1870 2. M.-All the counties are heaId
from except two, both OF which are Dem
ocratic. The counties heard from give
$50 majority for the Democratic State
ticket, and about three hundred less for

GSlgnedl GEO X. RASEr,
chairman of the State Committee"
The counties not heard from are
Brevard and Holme.. which gave 2I3
Democratic msjority in 1874. The
natural increase of democratic gain IN
these two countic, will make the msJor-
ity for the Democratic State ticket 1882,
and Tlldens majority about 1000. 81 his
majority will BE- successfully maintained
before the State CanvassIng Board, and
there is no longer any doubt thst TilCs1
hiss carried Florida by a sufficiently
large majority to secure her electoral
vote OYER all the frauds thst are being
perIetrated by the Radicals.
