Tie San Francisco Herald makes the following
statements:
The late election was probably the most exciting
that ey er took place in California, and in San Francis
co in particular the excitement reached 10 an alarming
hight and the most serious consequences were aP-
nrehe nded In resume of the political history OF
California, il will be necessary TO remind our Eastern
friends that California has always been Democratic
State In the last Legislature the Wings were In such
a miserable minority scarcely TO deserve notice.
The Democrats hsd an overwhelming majority. AT
the last scion of the Legislature section OF the
Democracy repeatedly attempted to bring on the elec-
ton of L. g. Senator TO fill vacancy that will not
occurtill March So and the duties of which office will
not commence till tbs following December. They were
on every occasion defeated Day by day the split in the
party became wider and wider, till at length two ds-
trcf factions began to be formed aud one was desg-
mated az the Electiors and the other "a the Anti
Eleciionst party. The fight was continued to the
State Conventio when formal Spit took place,
which resulted in the nomination OF Two Democratic
tickets. The Electonsts re- nominated our late Rep
reseptatives in the National Congress, and the Anti
Electionists Messrs. Denver and Herbert. The
Wigs, confident of success nominated Messrs; BOWIE
and Bepham. On the eve Of the election, Mr.. La
than arrived from Washington, and having been
made acquainted with the position oil affairs, with
drew his name and the Electionists nominated In his
stead James Churchman OF Nevada mus mat
ters stood on the day of election. The election re-
tuns have not vet come in from all parts OF the State
but 1t is generally understood that Messrs: Denver
and Herbert, the nominees of the Anti-Electonist
Convention
as heard from they considerably ahead. rumor
was however prevalent this morning, that Mr. Bowie
one Of the Wing Candidates, would be elected Dy
very small majority. The rebuke received by the
Electionists however in sl parts OF the State was
ennbatc and decided. In the Municipal Elections
matters took quite different turn just previous 10
the election rumors circulated with reference 10
the organization of the Know othngs all over the
State and it was expected that then influence wouiu
he felt to some extent. Throughout the State
these expecatiOns were realized, but In San Fran
cisco they carried all before them. The Electionist
/ CITY and County Conventions met and nominated
members for the Legislature and city and county ON
Gers The Anti Electionsts did likewise, but another
nt here took place and the seceders organized athrd
/ Convention and put in nomination kind OF hybrid
ticket composed OF the other two. The w higs held
/ their Convention and formed ticket. Inc associa-
ton known as the CudadOs putforward another LIST OF
names for the SURFACES of the people Certain indl-
/ yidusls calling themselves The People, hung out
/ another banner. The know-Nothings nominated a
n;red that their nominee for the Maycralty, MI:
! fucien Hermann, an estimable citizen and well
