of this city demands heavy outlay in
the harbor and on the wharves.
Having been over to San Francisco
frequently, We can readily discover the
reason why SO large part of the people
of that city come here for food, rest

where it has equalled Oakland in the
beautiful bay of San Francisco.

A dispatch from Cincinnati says that
the vote on Tuesday last, fell one humid
red and twenty. five thousand short of
that cast last year. If the Republicans
had all turned out, the Republicans
would have carried the State by twenty
thousand. But Ohio Republicans in
Washington say that ex-senator Wade
and ex-Representative Beatty. each of
whom has received offices and honors
from the Republican party, kept at least
forty thousand Republicans from voting
the ticket. And yet they charge the
Republican defeat directly to the presi-
dent.
