Eyw YoRE, November 1911 P. ~
Tho excitement oTer the. election has
nsrtIy Iubtidcd, but both parties are
Svpitiug the result with much anxiety.
Betting continues at tho pool rooms and
around the clubs and hotels, but there is
le,, than on Saturday, and many Demo.
Gratis arc known to be hedging. Many
bogus bc.s arc made at MorriSsey's and
Johnsou's pool rooms In order to inau.
onos outsiders, but the latter are becOm.
ing cautious. The Democrats show more
timidlty over tho situation than on Sat
urday, They put out fewer bogus tele'
grams, and admit that they may lose
the election Of Tilden through illegally OF
The count in the Southern States. They
arc now claiming Tilden's election
through inability Of some Republican
Electors to serve. They have begun an
investigation into the qualifications Of the
Electors who have been chosen in the
three doubtful States, as accOrdingto the
Constitution, no person is eligible as an
Elcc,Or who holds any ofliOe,o trust or
profit under tho United States Govern:
mcnt. They say that il one or more Of
Hayes Electors should thus be found
wanting it will defeat the Republican
candidate for the Presidency, as only with
the united votes Of Louisiana, South Car
oliua and Florida has he the requisite
votes. Considerable point Is made over
the report that one Elector in Vermont
and ono in Oregon are Postmasters, and,
therefore, disqualified, and tho Democrats
have made. several bets on this basis.
Politicians Of both sides IRE very active,
and many prominent men are making
frequent Visits to their respective head
quarters.
Tho Republican aud Democratic news
papers both continue confident over the
rsirit, and intimate ths. If the election
goes % their opponents, it must be by
fraud. The Times has several columns
to-day, in which Republican victory ID
demonstrated, and it il, understood that
i. will have an equal amount tomorrow
Taken on tho whole, there Is more cont
denrc among the Republicans than the
Democrats. Many Of the calmest mer
ofBoth parties cay that only an oficia
count can determine the result, and sug
gcst a suspcnsiQn Of the discussion unit
the csnya.khg Returning Boards hav'
completed their work. The genera
opinion seems to be that the contest vii
be narrowed down to Louisiana, and tina
there will DO much partisan feeling OF
both sides concerning it. Many darl
hints are thrown out by tho Democrats
concerning the possible death Of some o
the Florida or South Carolina electors
in case those States are Republican, ant
one prominent Democrat said to-nigh
that he wouldn't be Florida clector TO-
$4,000 under such circumstances. Their
is a general feeling that whatever the re
suit, tho closencss Of the election viii
have an excellent effect, and make tn
Winning party cautious in its policy
Leading Democrats are less violent ii
threats Of the conduct Of their party il
case. oi, victory, and the Republicans pre-
dict that u.cir party will make fewe
mistakes than in the past, The indica
tions arc that the reaction in Democrat
feelings since Wednesday morning ha
been saiutary. Tilden has received man.
visitors today, ard expresses coutidene
in his election. The fatigue Of the cam
paisn has greatly exhausted him, and h
appears as though needing rest.
