The Sacramento municipal election has terminated adj
versely the Wing party although not strictly party
grounds But four Wing candidates were elected-the
uArha Recorder and two Councimen in the First Ward
where they should have elected their whole ticket The
reasons says The Union why they should and could have
elected their entire ticket plenty enough and
deemed advisable could easily be given. After an election
has terminated adversely is useless 90 into argu
men TO show how has been done although the defeated
party most generally tell exactly what caused the dis
aser. In the instance under consideration we think the
summing up showed very cOnclusiyely that most OF the
Wing candidates lacked hundreds of receiving votes
enough to insure their election.
During the first week in April the Sacramento River at
ITS mouth higher than ut any previous time during the
present The ranches between Suffer and Cashe
Greeks, either side of the river were all submerged
Immense damage newly seed has been caused by
This overflow and not few of the gardens the bank of
the stream are totally ruined
