nelly. Mr.. Bluett is the foreman of
the Sutro Tunnel. Mr.. Young Is
Adolph Sutro's private secretary, Mr..
Crowley is head blacksmith, school
trustee, and one of the best educated
employees of the Sutro Tunnel Com
pany; and Mr.. Donneiiy is miner
in the tunnel who is very popular
with the boys. Mr.. McMahon, Su-
perin.endent of the Leyiathan mine.
assures Us that this delegation is for
Pox. but both factions claim it. This
has always been the trouble at Su;ro-
The party lines have no significance
there. Two years ago, although the
then Assistant Superintendent of the
Tunnel Co. was . member of the
Republican County Central Commit
tee, he got up a ticket which was q
composed of nominees on both
tickets before the people. The indie
pendent ticket carried the town.
At the Mound House Mr.. Ganey
was elected He was understood to
be anti Bradley, but the result in
this city snd Dayton may hsve
| changed his opinion.
A LIGHT voTR.
The vote Was ridiculously light,
evincing that very little interest was
felt in the result The Democrats
of this city were believed 10 be anti
Bradley, and that faction would IN
doubleday have carried the day, had
it not been for a side struggle be-
tween Messrs. Adams and Blenner-
hsssett for the second place on the
ticket. But an unexpected reinforce
mens arrived for the Bradleyites on
the evening of Friday, in the persons
Of Private Secretary Garrsrd and
Lieutenant Governor Adams; also, in
that of Mayor Belknas, of Virginia,
lGoye.nar Brsdlsy's son-inrlsv) vbo
came down on Saturday: and to the
united efforts of these gentlemen the
result is doubtless due. The Brad
ley crowd spent money freely, and
the keepers Of the saloons which they
patronized acknowledge an excess Of
| receipts on Saturday aggregating over
$500. There vas said to be some
Fox and Hagermal money around,
but this must have been a mistake.
At auv rate none was used. There
were only 40 votes rolled in Dayton,
| and 81 in Silver. Of the latter 35
were against and SO for Bradley, the
remaining 9 being scratched: Brad
| ley therefore beat his opponents
three straight votes in this city.
About an hour before the opening
of the polls man was kpocksd
down, and late in the evening Con.
stable Hill ran his hand against the
blade Of a jack-knife in the right
hand Of one Of two parties to row,
but there was no serious breach OF
the peace, and the day passed of
quietly enough. Atf iT'si4f
