Empossibility OF Deciding as 10 the P0pu.
lar Vote.
CHICAGO, November 4th-The Inter-Oceaa's
Washington special says It is impossible to tell
with accuracy whether Garfield or Hancock has the
larger popular vote, or what the Republican ma
jority in the House will be- or whether the Senate is
Democraticor Republican without the casting vote OF
Vice President Arthur. AS to the popular vote, it
seems nearly standoff between the two candidates
but this is owing to the immense and fraudulent
majortiesin Southern States whose colored vote
has been wholly in part suppressed. 1t was this
that gave Tlden his majority of nearly quarter of
million ON the popular vote, which was not law
iul expression OF legal voters But in the most of
the Southern States Hancock's majorites have been
very much less than Tildens while in the Northern
States Garfeld's have been uniformly larger than
Hayes. The popular verdict in the aggregate, if
honestly expressed, would be immensely III favor Of
Garfield If the California Assembly is Republican
as reported, theSenate will certainly be Repub
lican by one two or three majority.
