| THE VOTE in the State between Douglas
and Lincoln is close, the latter being ahead
some two thousand majority. The coun-
ties and parts of counties still to be heard
from will probably decrease the majority
and may possibly wipe it out entirely
Some eighty-ive thousand votes in all have
been returned leaving probably twenty
five thousand to be reported. The vote in
the extreme counties yet TO be heard from
will probably show considerable Breckin-
ridge strength. Allow the Breckinridgers
but one third of the whole, and sixteen
thousand seven hundred, we will say, are
left for the other parties. 1t is fair to give
Bell one thousand seven hundred of these,
leaving fifteen thousand to be divided be-
tween Douglas and Lincoln. OF these
Douglas must get eight thousand four hun
dred, and Lincoln six thousand five hun
dred to be even. San Luis Obispo, San
Bernardino and Humboldt are possess
ed of a very strong Republical element.
and we think the chances of Lincoln re-
naming ahead are pretty good, but would
not be much surprised if Douglas carried
