NFw YoRK November 9.-Thc Tribune
saws: This morning we feel warranted i'll
saving that Governor 1ilden Is not yet sure
of more than lS4 electoral voteS-is, in fact,
a little in doubt about the ten of those which
came fro n North Carolina. Governor HAYES
Is sure o lSl without counting Florida. and
in sp,e OF telegraphic denials, probabilities
point to his having carried Florida; every
thing. therefore. seems to hinge upon this
State IT, as we are inclined to believe it has
gone Republican, the electoral college will, at
she worst, stand lSj Tor Governor Hayes to
1874 for Governor TildeI. Il result close beyond
al precedent IT, Oh the other hand. Gov
ernor Hilden has carried Florida as Is now
claimed in several of the dispatches, there Is
still the possibility that Governor Hayes has
carried North Carolina. in the election OF
1872 it took four or five days to determine the
electoral vote of that State. 1t was yester-
day reported for Tildep. but is now claimed
for HAYES. We invite the attention of the
whole country to the States of South Caro-
Ina. North Carolina and Oregon. They are
going to settle this Presidential contest, and
it Is Just possible that the election there Is
not over. We most earnestly deprecate any
tampering with the returns in anybOdy's IN
terest. and we wish Mr.. MagOne had not
suddenly left the city last night.
The Herald editOrially says; According to
the latest and most Trustworthy returns, Ne
vada, California, Oregon and Wisconsin have
given their electoral votes for the Republican
candidate, and Mr.. Tildens only chance of
an election depends ON the possibility of his
having carried either Louisiana or South
Carolina. The antecedent probability was
that South Carolina would 90 Republican,
and there Is as yet nothing in the authentic
news to contradict that suppositiOn. If South
Carolina does not support Hayes, its vote Will
be doubtful, and the Republican canvassing
officers Will easily find reasons or pretexts for
counting Tilden out His chances, as things
now look, are narrowed down to his getting
the electoral votes of Louisiana. Both parties
claim the State, and when the Presidential
election is found to depend on the electoral
votes of one State temptation Is presented
which the ordinary friul virtue of po
iitical parties connot be expected to resist.
The country must accept the official action of
the State authorities until it is demonstrated
to be wrong. and the only body entitled to
pass on the sufhciency of the demonstration Is
Il congress Of which one branch Is controlled
by the Republicans and the other by the
Democrats, and which cannot be expected to
agree on 4 question which so profoundly af
fects party interests 1t is to be deplored
that there is possibility Of dangerous differ
ences arising between them. If, as a dispatch
received at a very late hour seems to indicate,
! Florida has gone Democratic, tins grave dan
ger will be Obyiated; but the situation Is so
critical that it will cause anxiety In all minds
which think the public tranquility more i'm
portant than the success Of either candidate.
The Sun, assuming that Florida has GER
tainly voted for the Democratic electoral
ticket, declares that there is no danger that
the vote of Florida will be rejected or
changed by fraudulent cOntrivanceS, for the
election machinery of that State Is in the
hands of honest men, who are friends of Gov
ernOr 1ilden. Upon the whole, we see no
cause to doubt that Governor Tilden has been
elected to the Presidency by the people. 4
few days may be needed to determine his
precise majority.
The Times sees only that Mr.. Hayes Is
elected President. and, commenting, says:
Had the power heretofore intrIsted to the
Republican party been wisely used-lad its
exercise been uniformly delegated to honest
and able men. neither the shotgun policy nor
the corruption of the franchise could have re-
duced the party to the narrow history of Tues
day. The lesson Of the election will BE-
thrown away if it be not accepted, lii part at
least. "a a rebuke to the selishness and the
greed which have been allowed to disgrace
the Republican name, and if it be not used
as q means of purifying the party from the
influences which have tarnished its record
and blurred in public memory the impression
Of its great services and noble aspirations.
New YORK, November 10-The Tribune re-
CARDS the situation az unchanged, and still
considers Hayes elected by one vote.
The Times considers the election of Hayes
beyond doubt, and says that the Republicans
have carried South Carolina by 5000, Louisi
anaby 8000 and Florida by 2000
The Sun and World continue strong in
the belief that Tilden IL elected.
