Greeting!
THE RADICAL SPELL BROKEN AT LAST
Democratic Governor, Democratic Leg

DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY 10000
HOW ARE YOU. RADICAL MARTYRS,
SICKLES. SHERIDAN a. CO.?
NOW FOR PENNSYLVANIA!


All hail, California! At last the in
cubus of Radicalism is being lifted
from the breasts of the American peo-
pie. Connecticut first shook the mon
ster from her bosom, and now CalifOr
MIA, Pacific answering to Atlantic, has
risen in her might and cast from her
the burden that weighed her down.
The glad tidings from the Land of Gold,
will cheer the hearts of the friends of
Liberty, and Pennsylvania and the re-
mainder of the Middle States and ma
ny of the Western States, will emulate
the example of their Pacific sister. The
last election carried by the Democrats
of California, was that of 1859, eight
gears ago. Since then the Republicans
have carried the State, year after
year, by from Is, 900 to 10000 majority.
But the brave and true men of CaIifor-
MIA, struggled on amid the gloom of de-
feat, until at last their constancy was
crowned with victory. In 1868, the Re-
publican majority for Governor was 49,
723, and in 1864, Lincoln had 1898 O.
yer Mcclellan. In spite of these odds,
the State has been redeemed. Let this
bea lesson to the doWn-hearted and dis
pirited every where, for it shows that
''some things can be done as well as 9th
ers.'' Now for Pennsylvania!
Especial to the Age
SAN FRANCISCO, September 5.-The
Democracy Of the Pacific greeting to
their brethren in the East.
Haight, our candidate for Governor,
and the entire Democratic State ticket,
has been triumphantly elected by at
least three thousand majority. We
have carried two Congressional districts
certain, and the remaining one is doubt
full. The City ofSan Francisco gives O.
yer three thousand majority for Haight
and the city ticket.
The revolution is complete, and a
Democratic Union Senator is secured in
place of Conness, the present Radical
incumbent.
Pennsylvanians, as you love your
liberty, emulate your Democratic
brethren in California, and redeem
your state from Radical misrule.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 6.-The
Democrats have carried the State, Leg
islative, and municipal tickets in San
Francisco by overwhelming majorities.
The returns from the interior contin-
ue to swell Haight's majority for Gov
ernor, which may reach 5000. The en-
tire Radical State ticket is defeated, and
it is doubtful if one Radical is elected.
The result is astounding to both par
ties. Nothing worse was expected than
the defeat of Gorham, the Radical can
didate for Governor, and two or three
others on the State ticket. The returns
are not nearly full. The Democrats
will have a majority in the assembly.
Mr.. Haight addresseda a meeting last
night, claiming the election as protest
against the corruption, extravaganza,
Chinese negro suffrage reconstruction
policy of Congress.
LATER Majorities reported from
twenty even counties show Haight
(Democrat) to be 1000 ahead, and the
counties to come in generally give Dem
ocratic majorities.
Another private dispatch indicates
the election of the three democratic cam
didates for Congress, together with a
majority of the State legislature, which
elects a United States Senator.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-At ten o.
clock tonight the Presidentreceived the
following dispatch datedSan Francisco,
this day: "We have carried the State
by 10000, electing our whole ticket, two
members of Congress and majority of
the Legislature. This is purely tri-
umph of the policy of your administra-
ton, condemning distinctly congress
ional reconstruction and negro suffrage,
North or South.
