How THE RADICAL GAME WORKS.
The following dispatch is received
from the governor-clect Of Florida:
ELLAvILLE, Fla. Nov. 1.-Two Of the
remaining counties give us an increased
majority of 100 over last election. Our
majority from 5 O'Clock Tuesday night
to this moment is l.l63 positive. The
evidences of Radical frauds in The south
are overwhelming and startling. In
Key West a large number of negroe,
voted who were imported for the pur-
pose from Nassau. The evidence Of this
fact is undisputed. In Archer precincr,
Alachua county, Florida. the actual vote
was $50 Republican, ana 1876 Democratic,
while the Radical officials report 800
Republican and l3G Democratic. The
tally-sheets were stolen.

arrested in West Feliciana. parish of
that state, charged with the assassination
Of Capt. West, who was the Democratic
candidate for sheriff OF the parish and was
killed by ambushed persons two days be-
fore the election. The negroes have con-
iessed, and assert that they were instiga-

The Philadelphia Tues correspondent.

commissioners to New Orleans. sums up
the situation as follows:
Careful investigation has brought me
to the following conclusion with refer

/. That the state has been carried by
The Democrats by a majority of not less
than 1000 tor Tilden and S, 900 for Mich
OILS over Packard.
= That these majorities would have
been twice as great but for the arbitrary

been bitterly fighting each other. After
the election on the 9Th one OF the factions
took the ballots aud the other the boxes.
In no way can the vote OF this parish be
determined. The fault is not with the
Democrats, but the returning board will
probably decide that u certain number of
votes should have been cast in that par
ish for Hayes and Packard, and count
them. This is the returning board,

The Democratic house voted to admit
Colorado. The admission of this terri
tory as a state added three to the cleo
toral votes. If this addition had not been
made lsi would have been majority OF
all the electors, and Tilden's election
would have been secured by the vote he
now has. But Colorado was admitted
and there is a returning board in Louisi.

of uncertainty upon the success Of Uncle
