Preparations for Canvassing the Vote of Chicago, President Grant’s Views of the Political Situation, Miscellaneous Election Notes. THE CITY. THE BOARD OF CANVABSERS. X Yaafa.‘day brought no changes in the political situation in the Second and Third Covgressional Districts, and the world at large is a3 far as ever from kmowing with certainty just who the suc- ceus_{ul candidates aro. Nothing short of the official count can settlo the vexed question, and tho count will not begin until to-morrow morn. ing. Then the Board of Canvassers, cousisting of Gen. Lieband Justices Haines and Hamull, _will ass"mbla in the meeting-room of the Board of Codnty Commissionere, and will proceed with nll‘ _Poseible dispatch to Tun over the oficial returns as brought in by the Judges of Election, taking the tally- lists ;\'nd footing them up. Nothing will_ ba done in the matter of the irregularities hereto- fore mel_)tmuad. Nothing can be dons by the Canvassing Board, whose ouly duty is to can- vasa the returns as thoy find them, though they will reconat the ballots in any precinct where a candidate ehag swake proper showing of ground for such action. It is probable that several such domnnds will be made, and that tho Board will find a heavy job on their hauds. The pre- cise line of action in this particular hss not beéen determined upon, .further than the notification by Gen. Lieb yesterday to Le:nrnrd Sweet, legal adviser of Mr. Farmall, sod James P. Root, representing Mesars. Ward and Smith, thst they will be privileged to aitend tho sittings of the Canvasung Board. Gen. Lieb has also given’ notice thut all candidates will Lo admilted, buc that the general publie, oxcopting tho newspaper reporters, will be obliged to take pozitions outside the railing. It is not likely that candidates who arealready suro of their election will care to avail themsclves of the privilege, but there are several whose fate may, and probably will, be changed by the offi- cial count, ard wao will feel intensely interested in watchiug the canvass. Extra care has been taken by Gen. Liebto guard the roturns and the balloi-boxes against tho posability of being tampered with by inter- ested parties. Eversthing has been carofully sealed and locked up in the vault of the County Clerk's office, the seals to be broken only by the Board of Commssivnors. Thore: remain na possible chauce for suxpicior or dissatiafaction in this subject. Until the Board has finished it labors, no one can with certainty sav what the verdict of the people has been with reference ta as loast TWELVE DIFFERENT CANDIDATES, whose respective votes are 8o closo tuat the of- ficial conut slone can determine the result. There are Mesers. Harnson and _Ward, in the Second District; LeMovue and Farwell, 1n the Third Congressional District; Robinson and In- galls, for State Senator, in the Seventh District ; Dubois and Bassett, for the Legislature in the First District ; Kearney and Miller in the Fourth, sud Jackson and Stickney in the Sixth. In case all these gentiemen shonid usiite i demanding a recount of the pallots, a8 they may lawfully do upou showing just and ressonable cause, the Board of Canvasgers would find an appalling amount of work upon their hands. The oxtent to which this will be neceseary cannot be deter- mined until the Board have first canvassed tha returnes submitted by the Judges of Election. Nnmerous cases of contested election are like- 1y to arive, though pothing definite is known of any candidate’s intentions. They will wait until they see how they stand on the official count be- fore taking any steps toward contesting. Reasons for such action are freely alleged by the adherents of the Congressional candidates in the Second and Third Districts, but the csndi- dates themselves decline to foreshadow their purposes. A TRIBUNE reporter interviewed both aspirants in the Second District yesterday. Mr. Harnson showed the mzrks of nervous unrest aod uncertsinty, and _refused ' to givo any iokling of hus designs. Mr. Ward was outwardly mure calm, but not more communi- cative. *‘Icangive you no information what- ever,” said he, ‘* 88 to the probability of contest~ ing the election, It may transpite that all partiey will be satisfied with the official count, and that there will be no contest.” i s PRESIDENT GRANT. WHAT HE THINKS OF THE POLITICAL SITUATION. ‘WasuiNaToN, Noy. T.—The following state- ment is published here, on what appears to ba good authority : The President has conversed freely with his intimate friends as to the causes which have produced such a revulsion in the popular verdict. He is of the opinion that the Democrats were sa much surprised by their overwhelming successes 88 were the Republicans, and he admits that, slthough he fally expected Republican lozses, he was not prepared for this crushing defeat He does not sanction the ides that his policy or his personal acts have contribated in any degres to the defeat. LOUISIANA. S0 far as Louisiana is concerned, he savz, he took the course which Le believed it to be his duty to take, but that Le twice specifically called tue attention of Congrees to the affairs of that State, and requested that. body to indicate ita opinion as to the proper course to pursue. Con- gress failed to oxpress sny opinion, and there was no alternative but to adhere to the line of action that he had initiated. * - FINANCE. The President thivks that at the door of the Republican Coogress alone may be lnid the de- feat of the Republican party. 1ie does mnot iay much stress upon the neglect of Congress to present finaucial meastres which would restore _confidence and revive declining trade, for in the matare of things this was next to an imposeibility. A proper ad- justment of the finances was oot s matter sus. ceptible of party control, as different sectious of the conntry had diverse interes:s and views su- ‘perior to party considerations. CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. Tho Preeident thinke that the great element of discord in the Republican party was the un wiso attempt to force upon the American people the theories of Scrator Snmner, embodied in the Civil Rights bill. Last ¢uring it was authori- tatively stated that the President did not favor the Civil Rights bill. It can mnow be said tbat his¥iews in opposition to it have been strength- ened by the recent election. He is firmly con- vinced that the Civil Rights bili had more to do with the defeat of the party than all other causes combined. THE PROSPECTY. The President gives s fricnds to understand that Lo 1snot cast down by the recent reveraea. He believes that the Kepublican party has beforn it a glorious future, aud that it may retrieve iks past errors. Ho believes the Republican Con- gress can, in the three months of life left, so act 28 to heal the dissensions within the party, sad win back the confidence of the people. THIRD TERM. Ttis pot improbable thatin Lis mesrage to Congress the President will set forth some of the views hera given. Ho has not go far, 1 any conversations on the elactions, indicated that Le considered that the ** third term™ had anything to do with the results. At the Cabinet meeting yesterday the Presi- dent expressed himself more at length on the 4 third term " than ever bofore. He said that a careful examination of the returns in the differ- ent States showed conclusively that the peuplo were not influenced by the wild crics on tais subject. Ho pointad to what he ccnsidered tvo notable inatances in proof of his assertion. Tho South Caroiina Republican Convention bad em- phatically pronounced for him for third term, acd its candidate for Governor had been triumphantly elected in the face of enormous odds against him. On the other hand, in the Uuca Distret, in New York, where the Republi- caus had ponderance, Ellis H. Roberts muisted upon the Congressionsl Convention which nominated him ISec Thirteenth Pag: always had an’ overwhelming pro-- % i 4 K
