p New York, November 15.-The Her.
ads special from Tallahassee, says: II
is now considered to be settled that the
full official returns Of the County Canvass
ing Board will give the State to Drew by
more than 900, and to Tilden' by more
than 500 majority. These majorities will
be attacked before the State Canvassing
Board, and the Republicans are confident
that they can throw out several precincts,
while the Democrats are equally conf.
dent that they can successfully defend
every return. The County Boards, have,
with hardly any exception, canvassed the
vote, and referred all matters Of contest
TO the State Board.
A dispatch has been received at the
Republican headquarters stating that
Mr.. Cespedes, Republican candidate for
the Legislature in Monroe county, pro.
tested against the canvass OF the vote Of
the Third precinct in Key West, on the
ground that the ballot.box was taken
away from the polls and the vete counted
by the managers in violation Of the law.
This precinct gave large Democratic
majority. The protest was not needed
by The County Board.
The. Tines Tallahassee dispatch says
as the County Canvassers 60 on, it be-
comes more and more apparent that
Hayes has run far ahead OF his ticket.
The Republicans are sure that their
State ticket Is elected by agood majority,
but no matter how that may be there can
be no doubt as 10 the success Of the Ma
tional ticket.
