Elections I'm California.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 4 1t is
impossible to obtain returns from the
city. The count will not be completed
before Friday night or Saturday morn
ing. Enough is known to assure a COM
plete victory for the peoples anti-rail-
road monopoly ticket. The legislative
branch and most of their municipal can
didates will contest. The mayor and
chief of police is very el1seand doubtful.
lt is claimed by the Democrats that a
total vote of twenty-six thousand two
hundred and ten were poled which is
much larger than was expected yester-
4 off e,,r
the railroad companies to abandon the
Republicans and 60 in a body for the
Democrats. They did so but with no
avail. Returns from the interior come
in slowly and it is impossible to make
correct estimates upon them now. Sac
ramentO city votes four thousand. The
Republicans claim a majority of the
railroad there, four hundred taxpayers
say. The county viii more than offset
this majority. The city will give them
a victory over the railroad company.
Most of the towns heard from are indie
pendent. They report the peoples tax
payers ticket ahead. Full returns from
Marysville city give the Republicans
majority of one hundred and seventy
over the independent ticket. The vote
Of the city is eight Thousand eight hum
dred and tifty-seven- 1t isimpOssible for
any estimate Of the majority of the anti
monopoly ticket in this city. The
friends of Chief Crawley believe he is
elected.
Only five thousand votes counted at
noon. Anti-monOpOly ahead of both
others. Governor Booth has received
the following dispatch: Sacramento
gives one thousand majority against the
railroad" That city is the stronghold
Of the company, which has over one
thousand employees there. Alameda
has gone anti-railrOad; Stockton five
hundred independent; Benecia indie
pendent. The indications are certain
for grand victory throughout the State
over the railroad. Twenty-fOur counties
thus far anti-railroad, in favor of the
Republicans.
There is no complete returns from any
ward in the city. The peoples legisla-
Jure ticket keeps the lead. Returns
from the interior are imperfect and con-
fused, and is enough to confirm the be-
lief first entertained of the defeat of the
monopoly throughout the State. The
contest for mayor here is close. Demo
cratic, Mcdonald, is ahead ON the count
eleven thousand. At three o'clock this
evening, COckrill, Democratic, chief-of-
police, was seventeen hundred ahead
Definite figures can be obtained from the
interior tomorrow showing the majori-
ties.

WORCESTER, September 3.-The fol-
towing are the resolutions by the Demo-
cratic State convention to-day:
ResolUed, That the Democratic party
lOes not seek to revive dead issues, but
stands by the principles which are suited
to all times and circumstances; supports
the federal government in all c0nstitu
JiOnal authority; regards, at this day, as
Jefferson did in his day, the true prov
Jnce of the republican government to bt
the protection Of rights, and not of in
rerests; defends the reserved rights OF
the State and people; and opposes cen
tralization, that would impair or destroy
the constitutional rights or independ-
ence of other departments, as executive
and legislative departments under rule
nave done in Over-slaughing the honest
,pinions of the supreme court of the
United States by increasing their num-
Oers and appointment OF new jurors,
who are subservient to executive an0
legislative will; holds that the nearer
the approach can be made to univer-
sal trade. the gres,er will be the advan.
Jage of the federal government to the
people of Massachusetts; insists OIL
the substitution of a banking system
hat shall not cost the people a higher
percentage 10 C cate a currency in few
nours, to loan at their own prices to the
industrial masses, than any other peO-
lie pay for money, and compensate the
nation that opposes all legislation thai
places railroads or any corporation be
yond the Jurisdiction of the peopl,
through their legislature.
ResOlued, That the Republican party
is responsible for the seduction of the
Democratic members of congress to the
corrupt schemes of the Republican party
to rob the people of their money.
Resolved, That the disgraceful, partia
and corrupt execution of the lquor-laW
brings all law into contempt, and calls
for the indignant teondemnatiO of every
citizen who believes in an impartial ad
ministration of justice.
Resolved, That the Intervention by the
federal administration in State pOlitics
for the benefit of its favorites and the
advancement Of its intrigues is most Sc
riously felt in this commonwealth, and
is hostile TO the freedom and purity OF
elections, an insult to popular intelli-
gence, and merits the indignant repro
baton of the people jealous Of then
rights.
Resolved, That we invite co-opera-
ton ana welcome to full fellowship il
political action all patriotic citizens who
agree with us in these principles and are
willing to unite to establish their benefi
cent rule as the government Of The State,
etc.

rived for regulating the hours OF labor
in manufacturing establishments to ten
hours a day or sixty for the week for
women and children, and that this con.
vention pledges itself to support such
legislation as will secure the enactment
Of such law.
Tbs remaining resolutions are the
same as thoae adopted by the Ohio State
Democratic convention Of August 9th.

Ter, as permanent chairman. Colonel

only Of high-sounding words N gener-
al. They might as well have
adopted ths moFal law With
the Lords prayer as a Postscript
The real platform was the Davis adj
ministration, which was indorsed by
their convention, and that the martyred
dead of the GrOesbeck, Huntsville and
IlsnA Flat massacre cried cut aloud to
beaveh, and, like the ghost Of the MUIR
dered Banquo, would lOL 60 down. He
