THE RESULT IN SACRAMENTO.

A Quiet Election Yesterday and a Large
Vote.
Considering the interest felt, and the
large number of workers representing the
different tickets and candidates, yesterday:
election in Sacramento was astonishingly
quiet, no arrests being made for disturb.
ances, and there being but few intoxicated
persons noticed on the streets. The poll:
were thronged all day, but during the fore.
noon votes were polled slowly. About
noon they began to come in more rapidly
and as result, when the polls closed al
shutdown, a total of 1919 ballots had been
cast-an unusually large vote. 1t was POS
less than at the Presidential election in
1884, when Blaine was running but 49,
more than at the contest in 1880, when
Garfield was elected.
Very little business was transacted in the
city. The banks and public offices were
closed and nothing was talked of but the
election. With few exceptions the saloons
conducted business as usual. One arrest
was made for violating the law by so doing

Officer Mccormack and Deputy United
States Marshal Strader arrested Henry
Wolf at Front and X streets. His name
appears properly on the register, but some
time ago he was arrested for vagrancy and
made to leave town. At that time he told
the officers that he did not claim Sacra-
mento as his residence, but lived elsewhere
and, being in Sacramento only temporarily
he should not be considered a vagraRt
The third arrest was that of William
Newcomb, by Deputy United States Mar
shall Malone, who was informed by a citi-
zen that Newcomb was voting another
mans name.
Besides the Republican, Democratic, Pro-
hibition, Independent Democratic, Amer
lean, United Labor (O'DonnelD tickets,
there were others, such as the Citizens
Prohibition The Farmers" Citizens
Republican" ETC.. presented through pri-
yate enterprise, to catch votes for indi-
Vidual candidates. Placards and dodgers"
calling attention to the claims of aspirants
for election, giving warning" etc., strewed
the sidewalks and were posted in conspic-
uous places with great iberality.
Piece men were never more numerous,
especially in the First and Second Wards,
some of them looking so dirty as to suggest
the idea that they had been alternating
since the last election, and had not both
cred themselves with such foolishness as
washing the dirt off. Standing around the
corners by the score, they anxiously awaited
the coming of some one with a little in
ducement Some of them waited until SC
late in the day that it is doubtful whether
they had chance to vote before the polls
closed, as in some of the precincts there
was a rush towards the last.
Much interest was taken in individual
fights" such as for Supervisor in the
First District, Police Judge, County Asses
sor, Assemblyman in the Nineteenth, etc,
and wherever the Democrats thought they
had chance to win they concentrated their
efforts, which were brayely resisted by the
Republicans.
When the count in the First Precinct OF
the First Supervisor District was COM
menced, the nrSt ballot taken from the DOX
was straight Republican, with O'Donnell' S
name substituted for that of Swift! There
was a general laugh, some one remarking
that it didn't look as if ODonnelrs vote
was helping Swift much.
The REcoRD UNION displayed the cleo
ton returns last evening on q large bulletin
board, illuminated by an electric light, and
an immense crowd, as is usual on such
occasions, congregated in front of the
Office, and cheered as the news was favora-
BILE to one side or the other. The first
cheer was called forth by dispatch from
Calf, announcing that out of 20 votes
counted Swift had 80 and Bartlett 20.
We give in tabular form the result up t.
l O'Clock this morning. In none of the
precincts was the count completed, and il
some it will not be until late this afternoon
