Our ROOSTER mas Woru Vi eAPiaha
ton for those Of his friends who have eI-
pressed. disappointment at his non-ap-
pearance yesterday. Having crowed
up an undeniable Democratic victory
through whole week of inclement
weather, be thought he might be allowed
to take q days res. for the sake Of his
voice, not through any encouragement.
Having been well fed and rested he is
able to come out this morning and cele-
brate the assurance OF TILDENs trium-
phsnt election and the certainty of his
inauguration on the 9Th OF March next.
Official and semi.officisl returns have
been printed from all three of the States
of South Carolina, Louisiana and Flori-
da, by counties and parishes, which give
all three of these States to the Demo
Gratis beyond all doubt. Our majority in
Louisiana is 1859. IN South Car
olina 1906, and in Florida LOLA.
But these returns are yet to undergo
the manipulation of Returning Boards
which past experience has taught US
are mere organs OF fraud-ln each OF
these states. But as Mr.. TILDEs re-
quires only single electoral vote out of
the nineteen to which these States are
entitled, while Mr.. HAYES would require
the whole of them to give him the re-
ouired number, the latter may find 1t
rather more of contract than he can
execute to steal them all.
In Louisiana the Returning Board
will meet to-day. 1t is claimed that only
two of the members are eligible
and they are negroes, CAsANov1,
an undertaken of the city, and hE>NkR,
gambler. The Democrats will, OF
course, claim a reorganization OF the
Board with u representative OF that party
upon il. On former OCCASIONS, thls
Board usually remained in session sew
ersl weeks, and in this case we
are not likely to have the result
of it's deliberations tor week at least
and it may be two weeks; so we may
as well possess ourselves in patience.
If the Board shall steal the electoral
vote OF this state from TILDES to whom
the people have gwen it, Congress can
not avoid recttying the matter and en-
forcing the will Of the people.
The South Carolina Board will pro-
ceed to-day, with its work Of count
ing, and will probably occupy week IN
reaching a result. General HAMPTON
is Internationally elected Governor by
some 1900 msjority, but /. is claimed
that T1LpES runs something behind him.
Whether this is true, and if 80 10 what
extent, not known, as the Democratic
commissioner at each polling precinct
took of the official count for Governor
only, at the time Of counting the votes,
on the night after the election.
Our majority in Florida is sscertsined
to be over 1000. The Radicals are
claiming that TrLDES ran behind the
state ticket there also, and that while we
have carried the state for local csndi-
dates we have lost it for the Presidency.
This claim does not seem 10 be borne out
BY the official and semi-ofici.l figures
already given to the public. In Florida
it Is believed that the Returning Board
will act fairly, and the best evidence we
have seen of it is found in some OF the
leading Radical papers which charge the
Democrats with an intention Of buying
up the Board. It is thought that it may
be two weeks before We have the oficIal
