stockton Municipal Election. III
STOCKTON, May THE election

was the most animated aud excit-
ing ever witnessed in Stockton, all
kinds of business having been sus-
pended and the entire day given up

day was quiet and orderly. The
WOrkingmen com menced to work
early and were organized with a
thoroughness that surprised the
most careful observer. The citi-

cast on certificates of registration.

Fusion sgainst the workiUgmsn.
HAYWARD, May 7th.-The situa-
ton at present is interesting. A
most determined fight will be made
against the Workingmen in this
county. The Democrats and Re-
publicans have united in close
sympathy with the Changers. This
combination represents the chief
industrial as well as tho moneyed
branches and things now look as
though the Workingmen will
surely be defeated by this triple al
lance.

solldated Virginia one dollar per

Cisizchs triumphant al Giiroy.
GILRoY, May THE election
for city officers yesterday resulted
In the triumph of the Citizens
except City Marshal and one
Councilman. The Marshal owes
his election to a long established
reputation for integrity and hi
lack of sympathy with the com
munistic and incendiary doctrines
of Kearney. Clark, eX.representa-
tive of the Workingmen's party
who was on their ticket for Coun'
Gilman, received only 1874 votes,
the lowest vote on either side. A
comparison with the last election
shows q material falling off in the
Workingmen's strength.
