MANIPULATING RETURNS.
THREE.

Tn TO about this time it may have been possible
for Nj Marble and other visiting Democrats to be-
heye the assertion that Florida had voted for Mr..
Tilden But 1t must have been observed by the
22d that the local managers were holding back
heavy Democratic returns, while trying, even by
mandamus of circuit court, to compel the board to
oman other returns before all had been received and
thus enable the Democrats to ascertain exactly
what maiOrities they had to manufacture. For
some DAYS, Mr. w. Z. Chambers dispatches to The
TRIBUNE had been earnestly demanding the pro-
duction of returns from Polk, Brevard and Lafay-
cite counties. which finally gave $50 Democratic
majority. From this time. not line tcds sent
bs Mfr. Marble erea IN his most secret ciphers,
or by any other Democratic operator in Florida. as
far as we can learn, implying belief that the Dem
crats had any right TO the vote of the State; the
sole question was whether they could get it, right or
no right For some days. they chung to the plan Of
holding back and altering returns. but Republican
tactics defeated that game. Meanwhile the sug-
eestion in dispatch No. 81, from Gramercy Park,
about "an old shufer of cards." indicated the drift
of thought in that quarter, and Mr. Woolley began
10 speak his mind through Mr.. Marble. thus:

What sort of forces did Mr.. Woolley want to
have held in readiness Armed forces Had the
suggestion come from Mr.. Watterson, of Kentucky,
"between the sherry and the champagne" that
might have been the meaning. But Mr.. Wooley rs
net man Of blood. He is man OF business. The
forces which he understands how to use can be
carried In the vest pocket. As yet however. there
was general reliance on the returns, and Coyle tele

THE English papers have been boasting of
the alacrity with which the members of the
Reserve responded to the call. 1t now
appears that the call closed with the declara-
ton that all those who failed to report
"would be regarded as deserters, and be lia-
BILE to punishment as such." That accounts
for the "warlike enthusiasm" of the Reserve.
