Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1886-11-02
The Election To-Day.

general election will be held in California
to-day. The public have had politics
dinned into their ears so industriously for
weeks that this has been marked in their
calendars as a bright-letter day-the day of
their deliverance, for the present at least.
In this city there will doubtless be much
interest taken in the contest, though not so
much as there would have been if the
Democracy were able to present a united
front. By dint of very vigorous and con-
centrated work the latter hope, however,
to avoid being completely whtewashed,"
and this the Republicans can guard against
only by standing up " straight to the rack"
and working with a determination to roll
up an old-time majority for the whole
ticket. Their fellow Republicans in other
portions of the State expect this of them
expect every Sacramento member of the
party to do his duty. Very favorable re-
ports are daily being received from all over
the State relative to the undoubted success
of the general ticket, but these assurances
of victory should not cause a relaxation of
effort.
Being legal holiday, the Courts, public
offices, etc, will be closed, and it is not
likely that much business of any kind will
be transacted. Chief Dillman has notified
law relative to selling or giviag away in
toxicating beverage during the hours the
polls are open is enforced. Eight special
officers have been appointed to preserve the
peace, in addition to which there will be %
Deputy United States Marshals on duty.
The Governor, as usual, has Offered re-
ward of 800 for the arrest and conviction
of any person violating the election law.
AS the Great Register printed this year is
not new one-there not having been a
call for an entirely new registration-but a
copy from the one in use for some wears,
with the names of new citizens and resi-
dents added, parties have had published a
list of names purporting to be those of per-
sons who have died or removed from the
city. While in the main the list may be
correct, it includes the names of many who
are entitled to vote, and may cause voters
some trouble and annoyance; bat in such
cases the voter can swear in his vote if
challenged, as long as his name is on the
register.
The Howard Benevolent Association will
have coliection-boxes at the various poll
ing places, and, as they have not called
upon the people for aid by means of pub
lie entertainment or subscription this year,
it is hoped that those who exercise the
right of suffrage will each contribute a
little for the benefit of the poor that are
sustained by this worthy organization.

ton in this city will be as follows:
