Xlie Herald's news regarding tbe doubtfu : states is not generally itiataiued by I the preponderance of testimony else-where. else-where. The election pool gamblers are desperate and trying every expedient ex-pedient to aavo BomeLhing of their enormous losses, if Hayes id elected, ' hence much o( tbe conflicting and bogus news. The Times' news bears internal evidence of being much more careful than any other. In thin criaia nobody else has such full, logical specials from the south at present. Hitherto the case has opened on conflicting estimates in the absonce of the official returns. As the latter come in they seem to sustain the republican and reduce the democratic claims. This morning morn-ing the case appears to reetabaolutely ou Louisiana, where the republicans tiil claim the state, and the democrats demo-crats pretend to claim omy on the basis of returns from the five parishes in wbioh the republicans declare they will present suoh conclusive evidence of fraud and intimidation that the returning board cannot help throwing them out. We are not omniscient and have not oflered our opinions, but confine ourselves to telling what prepondernting testimony seems to show from time to time. To day the World persists in claiming Tilden's cantly devoid of supporting argument or facta. Its strongest telegram is a special from Columbia saying that Hampton declares he has received a , report from the managers of tbe election in every precinct in the atate and is certain of his election by 1,400 majority. He is equally certain that except for republican Irauda he would j have at least 10,000; that he iutenda i to prove many instances of repeating, I tbe illegal conduct of tho managers 1 and ballot box stuffing. He knows but little, he says, concerning tho presidential result, but doei not concede con-cede the state to Hayes. I candidly think the calm, moderate men of both parties are settling to tho conviction con-viction of Hayes' election. J. V. SlMONTON'. |
