Even when what purports to be the full vote of the doubtful states has been reported the doubt will not be resolved. The ballots of the Guardsmen on the border remain to be received in their home states and counted before the unofficial result can be ascertained. This even will most probably not be conclusive.

Minnesota has been wavering be tween Wilson uDd Hughes. The final unofficial result will not be large enough to put the final alignment into the realm of certainty. There are 2,100 Minnesota Guardsmen on the border. Their votes may determine the result and may also decide who shall be President during the next four years. In New Hampshire, the largest majority claimed either way is less than 200 California is so close that the offi cial count must be ascertained and certified before it will be known what electors have been chosen in that state.

Secretary of State Jordan has announced that he believes the el toral vote will be split. So certain is he of this that he has asked both parties to delegate representatives to be present when the official count is made. Several other states are so close on the unofficial returns that the possibility of their electoral votes being split looms larger and larger. Unofficially both candidates are within striking distance of victory. The gain of half a dozen electors, with the retention of those already claimed and conceded, will decide the election.

But there are so many factors entering into the matter and sd much uncertainty attached in every instance that it appears certain the issue will not be settled until the several states Close Elections This the first time that a presidential election has been in doubt.

Hayes 184. Nearly all of the newspapers on November 8, 1876, said that Tilden had won. At this juncture the Democratic ni-j tional committee wired to a New newspaper for latest figures on South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. The news editor who got it rushed to Republican headquarters with the telegram. He said it indicated that the Democrats were in doubt and the Republicans had better claim those states.

And this is what Chandler proceeded to do. Thus began the famous fight which left the country in doubt up to inauguration day and at times even threatened to plunge it into civil war. The famous Electoral Commission was created to decide about the votes in the contested states.
