ESPECIAL BY TELEGRAPH TO THE REcoRBUNIoNl
SAN FRANcIsco, March 30th.-At half
past 10 o'clock this morning the total vote of
the city was IA, $50 against IS, GA at the same
hour of the State election last September.
This indicates light vote, which is generally
to be considered favorable to the Working
mems party. On the other hand it is a
noticeable fact that, as compared with the
same hour last election day, heavy Citizens
wards, such as the Sixth, Eighth and
Twelfth, have cast a larger relative vote
than the Seventh, Ninth, Tenth and
Eleventh, which are the Workingmen's
strongholds. The Workingmen claim that
between II and l they will swell their record
materially.
SECOND DISPATCH.l
SAN Francisco, March 30th.-An analysis
of the vote up to 1890 shows that while
strong Citizens wards are voting up to with
in from one-eighth to one-sixth of their vote
at the same hour last September, the Work
ingmen's precincts are from one quarter to
one-third behind.
THIRD DISPATCH.l
San Francisco, March 3Oth.-At 1890
the vote cast was Is, SIS, or about S, 900 short
of the vote at the same hour at the last cleo
ton. At this rate less than 80, 600 votes will
be polled. The probability is that light
vote will favor the Workingmen.
Owing to difference in the tint of the pa
per, the character of the ballots can be known
as they lie in the boxes, and those who have
been on the watch claim that the Citizens
Union ticket is ahead even in some strong
Workingmen'5 precincts.
There is not much talk of scratching,
though more or less is being done.
Thus far the election has been the quietest
ever held in this city.
FOURTH DISPATCHl
SAN FRANCISCO, March 30th.-The total
vote of the city, except two small outside
precincts, is 3O,667. Since noon the Work
ingmen's wards have pulled up somewhat,
and at the close it is found that nearly all the
wards are about uniformly % per cent. be-
low the vote of last September The Tenth,
strong Workingmen's precinct, has fallen
somewhat short of that proportion, and the
Twelfth, an equally strcsg Citizens ward,
runs little over. There seems to be gen.
eral belief that the Citizens Union have
elected all their candidates, although the out
look is less favorable, reasoning from the
totals of the various wards, than earlier in
the day.
FIFTH DISPATCH.l
SAN Francisco, March 30th.-The Work
ingmen have fled protest against counting
the ballots of the Citizens Union ticket, on
account of difference in tint, claiming that
their own ballots were printed on legal paper,
obtained from the Secretary of State, while
the ballots of their opponents are not in coz
formity with the law, differing in color,
weight and texture of the paper.
[SIXTH DISPATCH.J
SAN FRANcIsco, March 30th.-Much COM
ment is excited by the variation before noted
in the ballot paper. 1t is known that men
have been stationed at polling places during
the day to take notes of the color of the bal
lots and persons voting them, and the Work
ingmen charge that the Citizens Union put
up the job purposely to enable them to ex-
ercise a surveillance over the voters in viola
ton OF the election laws. One of them is
that an employe of the Secretary of States
off zoo ado Of 70 +ba Jas;raI
difference in ballot paper. There seems good
ground for contest over the matter, and
many hold that the ballots not in accordance
with the law can be thrown out, giving the
election to the Worlingmen.
SEVENTH DISPATCH.l
SAN Francisco, March 30th.-The vote
counted at $50 P. NJ. stood Citizens ticket,
3.2H Workingmen, 1882. Many precincts
have not yet commenced counting
EIGHTH sDISPATCHl
SAN Francisco, March 30th.-At II P. NJ.
the vote of the city was about two-thirGs
counted, with this result: Citizens ticket,
II, 760; Workingmen's, 1900. For Joint
Senator - Byrnes (Rep.), 11,612; Freud
(Workingman), 1856. This may be con-
sidered fairly indicative of the result.
NINTH DISPATCHI
SAN Francisco, March 31st.-The result
of the count up to II P. NJ. shows conclu-
sively that the Workingmen have not voted.
In their stronghold of the Tenth Ward the
Citizens ticket is running go ahead of them.
Ia the Eleventh Ward-another Working
mems district-the Citizens are nearly 100
ahead. In the Seventh and Ninth Wards
both heretofore strongly Workingmen-they
are only a few votes ahead, while in the
Eighth Ward the Citizens lead nearly four to
one, in the Second Ward five to one, and in
the Twelfth nearly three to one. The old
theory that light vote means Working
mems victory is completely overthrown, and
the only conclusion that can be drawn is that
the laboring classes have at last recognized
the evils of Kearneyism and agitation, and
are ready to begin new order of things.
