The Election I'm California To-day.

The Election I'm California Today
NO little interest Is felt In the election In CALI
fofnia to-day, but In consequence OF the num-
Der of candidates and tickets In the field and
the amount OF scratching likely to take place. it
Is not probable that definite results from the
state at large will be obtained In much less
than week. The result In San Francisco,
where the ballot contains about ninety names,
will not be aseertained, it Is supposed, for day
or two; especially II the contest should be any
ways close, as now seems likely. There are five
state tickets In the fleld,-the republican headed
by G. c. Perkins for governor; the democratic
headed by 81. j. Glenn: the worklngmen's
headed by W. F. White; the new constitution
Tor Honorable Bilks), which has accepted the
democratic candidate for governor and has other
candidates OF its own; and the prohibition head
ed by A. G. Clark. Also four Representa-
tives In the present Congress will be chosen
The estimates by the various parties vary Wild
". The San Francisco Chronicle, the "Bilk"
organ, gives Glenn, tthe democratic and blk
candidate for governor,) 1850; Perkins, (rep.,)
bs,ss5, and White, (workingmen,) 1860 votes
This estimate is secuted by both the republi-
cans and the workingmen. In San Francisco
there are 5000 names on the registry list
The Chronicle claims that its party will poll
more than 10000 OF these votes; while the re-
publican Bulletin estimates the blk :" strength
no higher than 5000 votes. The main contest
In the state between the democrats and repub-
licans Is for Congressman and state senator's.
In all the congressional districts except the
third, there are three ayowed candidates
In the field representing the democracy, the
work1ngmen and the republicans In the third
district the work1ngmen OF the northern coun-
ties have Endorsed Berry, the democratic nomt-
nee. Their action Is repudlated, however, by
the workingmen Of Solano and the southern
part OF the district generally. The contest in
This district is concededly between the republi-
can candidate McKenna and the democratic
nominee Berry. This district Is one OF the
democratic str0ngholds Of the state and though
the republicans express the hope of carrying it
this time, there does not seem to be much
foundation for that expectation. In the first,
second and fourth districts the contest ap-
pears to be between the nominees OF
the republicans and the workingmen, and
the republicans appear to have a good deal OF
confidence Of their ability to elect their men,
Davis, Page and Pacheco. In the mixed condi-
ton of political affairs there, 1t would appear
that any claim Of the kind must be mere guess
work.
The vote In California of late years has been
rs follows:-In 1865, Seymour and Blair (dem.A
b4,077; Grant and COlfax, 54,5S3. In 1872,
Greeley and Brown tdem }, 40,Tls; Grant and
Wilson trep), $1,000. In 1876, Tilden and Hen
bricks tdem) }, 76,464; Hayes and Wheeler (repA,
1924. At the last state election the democrats
obtained majority OF sixteen in the legisla-
ture or joint ballot.
