CALIFORNIA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-Retrrns of the
state continue coming in rapidly, but are OF
such a nature as to render it extremely diff
cult to forecast the result decidedly. One
hundred and forty-fve precincts give the
Hancock ~electots a majority of 1878. and
1,176 majority toi Rosecrans, for congress,
the remaining half dozen precincts not likely
to mate tally alter the result. In the face of
this it is almost a foregooe conclusion that
the state VIII 80 democratic by a small ma
jo2ity, .hoogh at republican headquarters they
still figure out a republican majority of be-
tween 800 and 400. 1t may possibly require
an oficia! count TO decide. The difficulty of
fact that the republican Gsils are found to a
considerable extent in democratic strong
holds, and vice versa.
In the third congressional district Berry,
democrat is probably reelected. In the 18th
district the race between Pacheco and Leach
is so close that the outcome at present cannot
be stated. Page is reelected in the I'd dis.
trict.
If California chooses democ a ic ele.fo s
and two or three democratic congressman. t
may be fairly att ibuted to the influence Of
the Morey letter. at least hat is the genera
belief expressed. The republ cans claim tina

1t is claimed, says the New York cores
pondent OF the New Orleans Times, that the
election of Garfield will virtually disband
the democratic party on u national basis, and
that il is thought hat Garfield will be The
last republican president. 1t is also claimed
that all old issues Vtit be abandoned, and
The next campa.Au fought upon new ones.
So far As the abandonment of old issues is
concerned it MAY b. true, but as Tor the rest
It is the same old song we have heard afte
every presidential election since 1861. The
republican, party has repeatedly claimed that
they have killed and buried the democratic
party, and each time beyend the hope of res
direction. If there be any truth in these
declarations the old party las burst its cere-
melts aud proved Itself a very lively and
troublesome corpse. 1t is possible that the
next national campaign may be fought upon
the tariff issue alone. In this event it will
moi he party but geographical lines that will
DIVIDE the people. The agricultural south
aud west will be arrayed against the manu-
featuring nortn aud east. One thing is ce:'
tain, the tariff planS in the party nat;onal

n)attor,ns will not, in the future, be SO loose
Nv drawn. 1t will consey lie uncertain sound
no double meaning.
The sreeuback question is also liable to
enter more prominently into the issues to be
determined at the next meeting OF the ma
tional parties; and the matter OF Chinese I'M
migration that, al present, is more local than
national in lis character, may within the next
four years cut an important figure in politics.
Agaln, issues of a grave nature now cen-
ceaIed Ia the womb Of the future may soon
develop themselves and demand their deter
mination al t,,e napa7 ii the people. As the
tried friend of the poor man the democratic
party will find a field in these issues in which
to display its power and work out its God
given mission. The old party is not dead
1t lives and will always live in the hearts OF
he people. 1t will not b. disbauded.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The wires have been in working order only
at intervals since the election and, therefore,
we are not fully advised in regard to the eS-
act result Of the election in all the states.
Enough, however, has been learned to war
rant us in the belief that Garfield has been
elected. All the northern states except New
Jersey, Nevada, and probably California and
Oregon, gave the usual republican maiorities.
Maine and Indiana are claimed for Garfield
by majorities ranging from FIVE to seven thou
sand each. New York, the pivotal state, IS
said to have cast "a majority Of $4,000 for Gar
field. Hancock carries all the southern stat es,
which, with Nevada and New Jersey, give
him 80 electoral votes. Counting California
and Oregon it leaves Garfield with 219 electe-
total votes, or "a more than are needed to
elect him.
The legislature of Nevada will be largely
democratic, which insures the election of
James e.. Fair, democrat, to the United States
senat in place OF Sharon, republican. New
York will elect a republican to the United
States senate in place of Herman, denloctat.
The republicans LAIN a working majo ity in
the house of rep esentatives after the 4lh of
March nett but this is not conceded by the
democrats. Enough is not yet known Of The
| result Of the congressional election in the sew
eral states to justify, at this date, the republi-
can clam. 1t can now be seen that if the
democrats had abandoned Indiana and Con-
uecljcut to the lepubli ans, and concentrated
al their energies on carrying New York,
dent.

SAFE.

By advices received late last evening we
are warranted in placing California IN the
list OF democratic states. Gen. ROsecrans is
elected to congress from the first district.
The legislature, which is undoubtedly demo-
crasic, elects a United States senator this
wines. This IS The first line California has
elected democratic electors since 1856, when
Buchanan was elected president. 1t is pos
sible that Oregon may have gone democratic.
If so, the Pacific states will have resumed
their old-time feally to The democratic party.
No party can Garry these states in the future,
that does not take a decided stand in OPPOSE
ton to Chinese immigration

CHARGES ANSWERED.

Our neighbor, the Nev NORTH Vest, in dis
cnssing the action of the people of Butte in
votin. for the fusion legislative ticket, in
Iulpes in charges not warranted by the facts
III the case. We are inclined to treat this di-
vision question dis~passionately and from a
business point of view. Ne taHc no stock in
the "imperial county of Montana" argument;
nor do we think the people of Deer Lodge
county are inclined to sacrifice their time,
their interests and their money on the shrine
of vanity. Their interest in this matter car
ries its consideration upon a higher plane
than that of viewing it from the standpoint of
pride.
With Butte it is purely a matter Of business.
Viewing it in this hight she voted in the d.
rect line of her interests, as Deer Lodge city
did Oh tie day Of the election.
If Butte succeeded i'll electins her
fusion legislative ticket she did no
more than Deer Lodge city would have done
had she the power. To say that the matter
was sprung upon the people of Deer Lodge
city and rhilipsburg without their knowledge
until the day Of election is an assertion cal
! culated to excite the smile Of Incredibly
rather than a feeling of confidence in its sim
certify, We are just in receipt of advices
from philipsbuig from which we learn that
the division question was sprung by the re-
publicans on the day before the election.
That there were residents Of Deer Lodge city
who knew, at least three days before the
! -.. -. 49, oo.,,l..oJ .,,., ,r a.,
voters of Butte, We are fully assured. If The
people of Deer Lodge city were ignorant of
what was going on up here their focking to
the support of we'll known non-divisionists on
the legislative ticket was certainly a singular
ly unanimous expression of their regard for
those gentlemen.
We are not aware that Butte has attempted
to do anything by stealth, as our contemporary
charges. She has not s. t~ealthily attempted
to run III a delegation from this county favor
able to an arbitrary division of the county
on any line. We believe the people here are
perfectly willing to submit the division ques.
ton to a vote in the county. We dlsclaim
any intention to clip or take from any con-
tiguous county all inch Of their land. By
running the line of division IL he point the
MINER mentioned in a previous issue we
would have all the ter; itory we desire. Deer
Lodge would then contain an area into which
a couple of states of the size of Ri lie Island
could be easily placed. Does Lodge
want more, or can nothing satisfy he but the
tribute which Butte is daily COMPEL d to pay
to her ?

OUR COUNTY TICK ET.

Full returns from all the precincts in the
county have not been received up to date, but
we are in possession of enough to form an
opinion as to who are elected. The precincts
to hear from may possibly change the major
tiles and determine the election of some of
the candidates. NJ. Lou p. Smith, our can
didate for sheriff, is elected by upwards Of 200
majority. Z. L. Irvine. 70" probate judge, is
propaUly elected by a majority of Is or 20.
Some few precincts to hear from may change
the majority or the result. Mr.. McMasteI,
for assessor, now leads by 10 votes. His cleo
ton may be set down as u certainty, as the
precincts to hear f"om will increase his ma
jority. Hardenbrook, for superintendent Of
common schools, is elected by a large major
ity. Foo clerk and recorder the vote is very
close. with the chances largely in fave: of
McAndrews. Mr.. Butchers present majority
assures his election beyond a doubt. DR..
Strang will discharge the duties of co.oner
for the next two years. Mr.. Lew Coleman,
the republican candidate for treasurer, s
elected.
For the legislative assembly Messrs. De
Wolf, Houser, Glenn, Pardee, Bell and Hum
Der are undoubtedly elected. The legislative
council ticket remains in uncertainty, will
the chances in favor of the election Of Messrs.
Aiken, Meader. Jos. A. Brown and Mitchell.
To sum up, the democrats have elected al!
Their county caud dates with the exception of
treasurer and two representatives. The re-
.urns from the council district indicate the
election of Mayhem by at least 800 majority.

The great number of beef cattle exported
from the United States must &c a source Of
some qualification to our stock growers. From
the official returns of the foreign
of the country, we learn that the exports ct
live animals have increased from Ss03 900 in
1860 to SIS, 703, 900 in 1s79-SO. Should this
rate OF increase of exports of cattle continue
for the next twenty years on: stockmen can
see that there is likely to be a demand for all
they can raise. The expectation of cattle

At its last session congress appropriated
$500 for experiments in sorghum sugar
making. The commissioner of agriculture
conducted the experiments at Washington.
He used thirty-tive varieties, and arrived at
the conclusion that the eally amber varieties
were the best, as they produce the greatest
amount of crystallizable sugar. 1t was shown
that some of the cane yielded about II per
cent. of sugar. The Louisiana sugar cane
yields from Is to % per cent. We cannot
see why a fair quality of sorghum sugar cam
not be raised in Montana. Large quantities
are raised in Iewa and Minnesota, whose
climate is no more favorable to its production
than the climate here. Our farmers IN Bitter
Root and other prolific valleys would do well
to give it a trial.

THE LESSON OF TKnE CAMPAIGN,

There are a few lessons that the campaign
has taught the democratic party which would
be we'll for it to heed. Among them is the
one that the democracy can'ol enter into
another national campaign upV ,ues COIN
posed OF gllttering generalities. 4Iey must
take a manly decided stand unon questions
Of vital interest to the Pr pie and force the
the tactics pursued 10y be re uJl' n party
compelled their opponents to act up, he
defensive. This is always a losing Co.,.
The aggressive party in polite unless CT.
ly in the wrong, is generally victorious. The
republicans dinneL and ha:ped upon the
'tariff for revenue only" plank in the demo-
cratic national platform, and kept the demo
cratic press and speakers busi'y engaged in
combating the republican Interpretation of
j..
Another thing that the can7ass has taught
the p ople as well as the party, is that the re-
publican party, with its perfect organization,
with an immense federal patronage at its dis
posal and with It's present system of assess
msnt of and collecting immense sums of
money from republican officials, can elect
any man president OF the United States. A
party that can elect a man with the repnted
record OF James A. Garfield to the highest
Office within the gift of the people, ned not
hesitate in its choice of a standard bearer.
Money is a power in politics nowadays. and
can send a man to most any place except
heaven, and the republican party knows how
to use their means where it pays the best.
Under the present method of conducting pe-
litical battles the Sunday school end" of a
party's conscience cannot he prominently
displayed unless the party desires to court
defeat. We do not countenance dishonest
practices in politics, but it is a fact patent to
eve yone that in great national campaigns
where there is such q wide field for corrup-
ton to flourish unrebuked, that the party that
practices it generally counts their candidates
In. Ifthere is a lesson 10 be learned in this
fast the democratic party has failed to master
