THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION.
SAX Francisco. June 20-Returns from
the city as far as counted indicate that the
Kerneyites have elected nearly all their can

from the interior show that the non-parti-
sans have elected most OF their men, and 1t
is probable that the interior non partisan
ell their delegates at large, even II the city
should give the Kerneyites fair majority.
SAX Francisco, June 20.-Returns of the
constitutional convention election are still
incomplete, but it is probable that the
complexion of the convention as re-
CARDS county delegates will be as

returns may vary the above to the extent OF
a half dozen. 1t is still matter of doubt as
to the 80 delegates from the state al

probably from ], 500 to 5000 majority for the
workingmen, but the large counties of Ale
mads. San Joaquin, Sacramento, Somoma
Buttee and others, have gone heavily
partisan. Whether sufficient to over
come the city vote it will perhaps require
the complete returns of the state. Nevadf
county gives the worklngmen large major
