The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1857-10-21
LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

The official result of the State election
has been declared in most counties. The
total vote polled is some fifteen thousand
less than at preceding election. The re-
turns show majority for Weller, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, over
both Bowie, the American, and Stanley,
the Republican candidates, of 1900
The Republican vote leads the American
by about 1000. The legislature is over
whelmingly Democratic. The people have
resolved to pay the State debt by ma
jority of $4,000 against reputation.
The proposition for calling Conven-
tion for revising the Constitution did not
prevail. A majority of the vote cast at
the election was required to carry it, but
so great was the Indifference upon the
