The election returns received since our last
issue do not clearly Indicate the result in the
few States in regard to which there was doubt.
The Bell men in Virginia claim that they
have certainly carried the State by not less
than i LOO majority over Breckinridse-but
! the friends of the latter do not admit that he
has lost the State, and it is probable that on
ly the official count Will determine the matter.
The full official returns in New Jersey con-
firm the reported election of four of the Re
publican and three Douglas Electors in that
State.
The latest returns from Missouri Indicate
that Douglas has probably carried the State
by a very small majority over Bell.
From the Pacific California advices to the
sth are received. The news indicates q great
political revolution in that State. Lincoln
has 5000 majority in San Francisco, where
last year the Republicans polled only 1927
votes. and the returns from all parts of the
State show such heavy gains as TO furnish

The Pony express arrived at Fort Kearney

Secretary State Central Committee.
This news is not surprising. Our dispatch
es and private letters for two weeks have pre-
dicted very heavy Republican gains, and in a
few instances a plurality for Lincoln in the
State. The counties TO be heard from are
probably the northern and southern coast
counties. including Mendocino, klamath,
HUMBOLDT, Del Norte, Montery, Santa Barba-
ra, San Luis Ob;spo, San Bernardino, aud a
few others. The Fremont vote was very
heavy in the southern coast counties and light
in the others. From the tenor of the dis
patches it is evident that n political revolu-
ton has swept over the State, and the effect
of il may be seen in the vote of San Francis
co, which, last year, stood for Governor Re
publican. 1927; Administration Dem jcrat,
4.747 Anti-Lecompton Democrat, 2,943.-
Now it gives Lincoln 3 900 majority, and the
reports say that Breckenridge, whose party
last year carried the State by 10000 over the
United Opposition Republican and Anti-LG-
compton) is now the third candidate at the
polls. The result shows that parties have
been completely broken up since the death of
Broderick, and we arc not without hope that
Lincoln has carried the State, although the reg
u,ar dispatch contradicts our special telegram
given above. It would be a fitting conclusion
of the splendid victory that the Republicans
Lave achieved in every free State on This side, if
the next news confirms the anticipated tri-
umph on the pacific. At all events, another
year is all that viii be required to wheel Cal
ifornia and Oregon into tLe column of sure Re
publican States.
Not the least gratifying feature of the in
telligence received by this arrival, is the news
of the certain defeat of VIM. NJ. Gwin, by
the next Legislature. We may as well count
him out of the new Senate. Joe Lane and
Gwin have been close partners in political vii
lainy in the Senate, and they will go out to-
gether. Broderick is thrice avenged.
