SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Q.
Nothing in the way of news is being
received at the headquart ers CT either
party this morning and the crowd at
both places are dependent mainly upon
press dispatches for information.
Some change in the feeling has taken
place since yesterday. The Democrats
low feel confident of victory, and the
Republicans, without yet giving up
the fight, still admit that the prospect is
less cheering. Great satisfaction is ex-
pressed by the latter at the unexpect-
eddy heavy Republican majority in
this State. ~ 2 |HaF
Doubt is entertained of Pacheco's
election rs the returns to date are
somewhat against him.
Strong hopes are entertained that
McKenna is elected. and dispatches are
momentarily expected at headquar-
ter from northern counties which will
probably settle the question. v..F
On the street to-day the crowd re-
mains almost undiminished, but is
much less noisy, owing probably to
the fact that the dispatches are few and
far between and not of a particularly
cheering nature to either party.
There was some talk among the
Democrats this morning OF claiming
Oregon, but late advices have had the
effect TO crush their hopes OF that State.
On the whole, the Democrats seem to
have the best Of it to-day. -s.0

% SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8.
Since the election there has been
much talk about frauds inthis city, the
Democrats claiming that in view OF the
immense vote polled and the Republic
can majority, that such must peces.
sarily exist. The matter is understood
to have been discussed by Governor
Irwin, Mayor Bryant and others. and
as a result the Board Of Supervisors
met this afternoon and instructed the
Finance Committee to investigate the
conduct of the officials and everything
| pertaining to the election. In accord
ance with this, the Finance Committee
presented County Clerk Reynolds, who
has in his keeping the ballots, certifi.
Gates of affidavits, etc. to turn those ar
ticles over to the Sheriff. This raised
a tremendous breeze, the Republicans
, openly alleging that the obvious pur.
pose Was 10 obtain possession of all
these papers and then find means to
materially modify the result OF the
election in the city. There was a vast
amount of rushing around for an hour
or so, and, as a result Of which, a meet
ing took place in the Mayors office.
