come in, especially in the city it is impos.
sible at present 10 give the result. As to
the legislative election returns thus far
indicate Republican gains in the interior,
but It may be modified by later adyices
It is believed that Bryant, Democrat, beat
Asbury, for Mayor OF this city.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 6,-Present
Indications favor the belief that the
Democrats will have majority in the
Legislature, but the result is still in
doubt. The counting is very slow, espec-
tally in this city.
The election returns are still incom-
plete, but enough is known TO render it
almost certain that the Democrats will
have 4 mSjority in the Legislature on
joint ballot. In the city Tax Payers will
probably elect the most Of the municipal
officers except Police Commissioners,
Superintendent Of Schools, and perhaps
Sheriff. 1t Is thought that q majority oi
the Tax Pryers Supervisors are elected.

PROMINENT Methodist paper in Penn.
yIvania, reviewing the work OF this
years camp meetings, states that the con.
versions have been very few, indeed, as
compared with the results OF ordinary
prOtracted meetings in the churches. The
reason assigned for this unwelcoms state.
ment is that modern camp meetings have
degenerated into pleasant social gather.
ings in the woods and at the seaside. 1t
is feared that large number Of those
who assemble at these meetings are drawn
together not as In olden times for purpo.
ses Of religious communion and Quicken.
ing, but to pass portion Of the warm
weather in cool places and enjoy the ex.
citement OF large gatherings Of agreeable
people. The system Of entrance fees and
Sunday trains are also mentioned as op.
Grating against the spiritual success Of the
summer meetings. All these criticisms
are made by the truest friends OF Chris.
ttanity, and the paper in which they ap-
pear supplements them with the hope
that they may lead all camp meeting
managers to avoid these obstacles in iu-
lufe.
