LOUISIANA.
The New York Herald Monday.

The New York Herald, Monday.
Mr.. McEnery, who was elected Gov
ernor of Louisiana, but who was deliber-
ately counted out" sends circum-
stancial table of the vote Of the parishes
of Louisiana, which gives Tilden ma
jorlty of the state Of eight thousand.
The Republican side furnishes no figures.
This is suggestive. They only claim the
State.
New York Wo.ld, Monday,
The report of the business men OF New
Orleans sets the Democratic majority in
Louisiana at over 5000 and the impress
sion Is gaining ground that the Demo-
Gratis have indeed bitten of larger slice
than the Returning Board can chew.
When Kellogg telegraphs to the
"Times," he Is sure of carrying Loulsl.
ana; when he telegrsphs to the "Hersld"
he doesn't know how the thing is going.
The fellow has some sense of the fitness
of things.
Philadelphia Times, Monday.
The detailed returns by counties re-
ported from Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina seem TO remove all
reasonable doubts about the vote OF
Louisiana and Florida. They have voted
lor Tilden by decided msjorities. even
allowing the Republican estimates Of
majorities for Hayes in their own strong
holds. Florida has gwen not less than
from 1,2OO to 100 for Tilden, and
Louisiana has given him from 5000 to
10000. The cautious and hesitatlng dis
patches from Senator CoDover (Republi-
cam, of Florida, and of Gov. Kellogg, OF
louisiana to the Herald Of yestel day,
are practical admissions that both States
are lost to Hayes.
New York Sun, Monday.
On Thursday Kellogg telegraphed
from New Orleans: Louisiana Is sure
for Hayes beyond all question. Repub-
lican majorities are larger all over the
state, and the Democratic majorities are
lighter than we estimated" In another
dispatch he said: "Be easy so far as
Louisiana is concerned" Yet on Satur-
day he telegraphed the Herald that he
had no accurate figures on which to base
an estimate. His brag and bluster were
bsted on bis confidence in his ability to
count the state for Hayes, not on any
knowledge he had that the majority OF
the votes cast were for Hayes, for the
reports all indicate majority tor Tilden.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
New York World, Monday.
The vote in South Carolina Is counted
by Board of Managers in each pre-
cinct, then by the County Canvassers,
and then BY the State Canvassers. The
first two are composed of one Democrat
to two Republicans There Is no Demo-
crst on the State Csnvassing Board. The
report of the managers in every county
of the State is in, and shows maJorlty
for Hampton Of 1900.
Chamberlain's dispatch, also to the
Herald" is much mllder than his dis
patches to the "Times," and though he
Processes great confidence in Republican
triumph, he has no figures to show tor
the faith that Is in him. He makes no
mention of hell and shot-guns, and roars
as gently us q sucking dove,
YLoRIDA.
Baltimore Gazette, Monday
Dispatches from Florida, both by the
Associated Press and from private
sources, received yesterday all tell pretty
much the same story; that is, that the
State has gone Democratic by maJorltles
estimated vsriously from enc thousand
to two thousand. The most trustworthy
advices persist in setting tho figures at
about sixteen hundred. A private dis
patch from Attorney-General Cock, a
member of the Returning Board, puts
the Democratic majority at twelve hun
dred.
