The calculation made by Governor
Richardson's friends before the vote
this morning, and based upon the sup
posed active candidacy Of Gen. Earle
was that Governor Richardson!
emitting all votes from Sumter anc
every doubtful name, would receive
III votes On the first ballot. The dlf
ference between this and the actual re
suit was 20 votes.
1t is asserted enphatically, and with
reason, that the vote for Gen Earl
would not have been increased by tel
if he had been an active candidate. Th
calculations made in advance indicat'
an exceedingly close and accurate can
vass by the friends of Governor Rich
ardson.
