To-day Monday is being observed here as Christ
mas. We have had great number of ball. parties,
fairs, festivals, and shows, and number yet to
come before New.Year's Day. San Francisco ha,
public meetings. exhibitions, and merry -makings
than any other place OF lie size in the Union. Unfor
tupatey for holiday festivities but fortunately for
our industrial interests, we have had rainy weather
during the last fosr days.
Ii il universally admitted that John b. Weller will
have plurality, not majority OF votes, at the first bal
lot for U. .. Senator but doubts expressed
whether there will be an election. Most OF the Ad-
mnistrton papers have expressed their preferences
tbe majority for Weller but they have discussed the
question in acrimonious spirit, and the ooaseq uence
il very unfrlend)y feeling among the various Senate
rial clques that perhaps they will be able
agIts IN uniting upou any one.
The Sacramento correspondent of The Bulletin gives
summary Of Gov. Welers forthcoming Message.
