GEN. GARFIELD has given New York
Herd'd correspondent his views on the
political situation. The Ohio fight, he is
persuaded. is virtually settled in favor of
Foster. The hard money Democrats fear
Ewing and the effect bis election would
have to unsettle business. They are
forming honest money leagues in the
chief cities of the State, with the inten,
ton of bringing the Democratic party
back to its own financial moorings. the
present favorable outlook for the Repub,
lican party, the General thinks, is against
the denomination OF Grant. Still, much
will depend upon the course of the Dem.
ociats in Congress next Winter. The
Republicans, being everywhere in accord
on all questions, are ct liberty to select
their candidate from any part Of the
country. No such liberty of choice is
allowed the Democrats. The party MP
peared foredoomed to have Tilden."

ONE GOOD RESULT OF THE ELECTION.
The campaign has done one excellent
Thing in consigning TO an eternal grave a
horde of office>seeking demagogues who
have rushed forth on all possible occa =
sions to grasp at the spois of Office, and
whose political course-actuaied by mall
ice and propelled by ;greed- would have
put to shame n weather vanc in a chang
ing wind. They are dead, dead forever,
and the people assstat their iurneral with
the greatest imaginable delight. At
every turn they have proved themselves
hypocrites. Opposed to Chinese immi-
grafton, they nominated n man whom
they knew to be large employer of
Mongolians. Professedly against all mo-
nopolies, they worked for land monop-
-olist, and in so doing were necessarily
forced to defend the greatest curse Of
California. To them there was but one
thing in California which the people need
TO fear-the railroad. That same railroad
too, from whose pap, in times past, they
had fed and whose breasts they now turn
ed to bite. Malicious, envious, greedy,
propping their cause up with falsehoods
and endeavorIng 10 sustain it with black
guardian, they soon dsgusted an honest
and intelligent public, and the people will
greatly rejoice at their demise - Sdcra-

HURRAH FOR OUR SIDE!

Geo. G. Perkins, one of Gods noble-
men, has been elected Governor of the
State of California and the JOURNAL
congratulates him on his magnificent sue
cess, and the people Of the State on tl.eir
excellent choice Of n Chief Executive.
The latest figures, mostly official, give the
following totals in the State Perkins,
63, ,43l White. 1881 (; Glenn, 3,Ole /;
giving Perkins plurality of over 20, 900
more than either Of his opponents and
leaving Glenn about $50 behind White.
Having been an earnest supporter OF
George G. Perkins, ''first, last and all the
time" we feel highly elated a: his grand
success, and now place the prediction On
record that he will make one among the
best OF California's Governors. Tn all his
officials actions but one motive will rule
that of right-and 10 merit and receive
the approval and applause of the people
of the Golden State will be his sole am
bition.
Below Governor, it is probable the
Republican State nominees Except Su>
preme Court Judges will have majori-
ty over their Democratic opponents rang
ing almost any place from 10000 to so,
900. The Workingmen and Democrats
having combined on the Judiciary Ticket
succeed in chosiEg a majority if not all of
the Supreme Bench.
In the First, Second and Fourth Con-
gressional Districts the Republicans have
been successful in electlng Horace Davis,
Frank Page and Rcmualdo Pacheco, thus
securing majority of the Congressional
Delegation. In this, the Third District,
the race is very close between Joseph
McKenna, Republican and C. p. Berry.
y
Democrat, the official vote of all the
counties being necessary to decide. In
our opinion, the chances are rather against
McKenna, for which we are truly sorry
The Legislature in both branches is
Republican and a vast majority OF County
n
secured by the same party. Taken all in
all the late election has beer a very favor,
able one For our party, not only present
but future. The result this year will do
much toward carrying the State for the
Presidential candidate of the Republicans
in 1880. "Hurrah for our side - again
say we.

The RESULT IN SAN Francisco.
The complete count in San Francisco
gives the following result: The Work.
ingmen elect the Mayor, Sheriff, Auditor,
Treasurer, Tax Collector, Public Admin
istrator, Surveyor, District Attorney.
City and County Attorney, two Supervis-
ors. three members of the Board of Edu-
cation, seven Senators, thirteen Members
of the Assembly, and the Railroad Com.
missioner for the city district. The Re.
publicans elect the Assessor, Recorder,
Coroner, County Clerk, Superintendent
of Schools, ten Supervisors, nine mem>
bers of the Board of Education, mem.
Der of the Board of Equalization, and re-
elect Congressman Davis. The Superior
Judges elected are mostly on the tickets
Of al parties. Some of the officers are
elected by majoriiies so small that it is
possible the official count may result IN
some changes.

They have a good thing in San Fran
cisco on old Sam Soule. Sam was. the
ii. B. Candidate for Railroad Commits
sioner, Thomas was the Democratic
nominee for the same position. Phelps the
Republican and Beerststcher the Work
ingman. Some week or so before the
election, Soule met Phelps and said to
him, Guy, what do you think of that
ID fooi Thomas He has an idea
that he is going to be elected Not less
than TO- 900 men have assured me that
shall have their votes, and if Thomas
would Withdraw ] could be elected, as
then | could beat Beerstecher, for you, in
no event, have any chance of Success. /
asked Thomas to withdraw in my favor,
but he won't do it, for the fool thinks
that he is going to be elected" The re-
suit shows shat Soule had 3,l4l votes,
Thomas 2,l46, Phelps II ,932, Beerstecher
lS,l75, hence the question arises what
came of the 1000 men that promised 10
vote for Soule and did not? And the
question is also asked which was the big.

PERKINS PLURALITY.-The indica-
tions now are that the plurality of Cow
ernor Perkins will be fully 20, 900 and that
it may exceed that figure. 1t is also APP.
parent that White will stand second on
the list, and that Glenn will be last
White polled larger vote than was gen.
orally expected. and il may he said also
that Glenn polled a smaller vote than was
generally expected. 1t is probable that
White owed great deal of his strength to
the extravaganza of the attacks which
wero made upon him. Part of Glenn's
weakness WAS doubtless duo to the fact
that the Democrats refused TO be bound
by the Endorsement which their Conven-
tion gave him. The splendid plurality
which has been given to Mr.. Perkins
ought TO convince the most skeptical pol
itlcian that the people appreciate and
recognize real worth. and that assaults
upon genuinely good candidates have the
very opposite effect to that expected from
them. Record Union.

A CENTEPEDE's DEADLY CLAWS
Several Mexicans were in camp ut the
mouth of Memphis creek, Utah Territory
and were lying about the fire, when one of
them, Telestoro Crucas, saw large CEN
tipede, fully nine inches long, travelling
slowly over his leg. Knowing that the
least motion would make it sink its dead =
ly claws into his skin, without moving
his leg he got out his revolver and waited
until the beast had almost reached his
knee. when, slowly putting the mouth of
the pistol TO its head, he pulled and the
centipede was gone. But centipede's
claws are quicker than gunpJwder, and
Crucas began to cramp in few minutes,
the track of the reptile along his leg
turned brownish yellow, and the place
where it was killed swelled up rirhtluly.
Crucas rapidly grew worse, and in little
over four hours afterward he died in great
agony. But the most singular part of the
story is that the bullet from Crucas' pistol
cut small nick in the foreleg of mule
that was tethered near by, and ut daylight
the next morning the mule was also dead
with its ;eg so swollen that the Skin had
burst in several places. Canon County

''candid or inion" is not calculated to
cheer the sangune souls of the originators

EDITOR TRIBuNE:-To fulfill my prom
ise Of last week, l will now give somewhat
in detail few facts to show the weight
and volume of air used in the proper ven.
tilation of buildings and sewers, that the
reader may compare the value and cost of
this agent - . purifier and disinfectant
with other means designed to accomplish
like re-ults. Few of our citizens realize
what good ventilation means, some sup
posing thst if . room is cool the air must
be good. Others think that tin tube NO.
inches in diameter, going from the ceiling
Of the room to the attic, is sufficient 10
ventilate . room, or even house. 1t is
admitted BY the best informed on the cub
ject that each person renders APO cubic feet
OF air unfit for use in one hour. This,
with that impaired by lighrs and fires. it
is believed, requires that all the air,
in dwelling houses, should be
changed every hour at least.
