man. has possessed bdh city and State for an
.ptirc week Never ince the first election Of
lincoln has there ben such passionate interest
shown in the result q such extraordinary activi-
II by both parties. The State vote was some
thing over 225, 900 and even the remote mining
towns polled their fun quota. The sweeping Re
publican victory unexpected even by the
most sangunc o. the Republican managers, while
the confidence # the Democratic leaders IL their
ability to carr the State has cost their followers
several HUNDRED thousand dollars. The Republi-
cans had made very careful canvass OF the
State, and Their figures were given fortnight
ago in these dispatches. Estee and other con-
servative managers declared that 5000 was all
the majority hey could hope for, while others
said it would not be over 1900. The result
shows that 1t VIII exceed $1,000.
An analysis OF this vote reveals some curious
features Ali the Republicans predicted large
gains in the sathern counties, which have been
rapidly settled by Eastern people, but no one
dreamed of thesplendid majority the Republicans
would roll up in this oldtlme stronghold OF
Democracy. Ls Angeles gave 1891 plurality
for Harrison although the Prohibition vote In
the county, manly drawn from the Republicans,
amounted to l,62; San Diego gave 1,6l6 Re-
publican pluralE, and San Bernardino considera-
have received tie lions share Of the best immi-
grafton from he East increased Harrison's
plurality in Clifornia by nearly 5000. Time
was and it was,nly ten years ago, too, when these
three counties 'ere counted upon by the Demo
Gratis to give a. solid . Bourbon vote as kempcr
County Mississippi The lone lung Yankee
has overthrownhis supremacy and the Missouri
ans and Greaers" who made up the Democracy
They viii neve again recover their grip
The banner Republican county in the State is
Alameda who gave 3,4O0 for Harrison. Sacra-
mento came mkt, with $4,000 Humboldt, the
county Of resvood numbering gave over 500,
while several theirs gave from 100 to 300. The
Democrats carried all their old strongholds ex-
cept the soutern counties; and Colusa, which
was settled h Southerners, and is still cropped
every year t. wheat, gave them about 900 ma
jority.
The Prohibition vote was large, amounting to
over 1000. Los Angeles led with 1,062 votes
for Fisk lie anomaly of this is that wine
making is ole of the leading industries Of this
county, and Increases in Importance every year.
The other sothern counties gave 600 votes for
Prohibition nd Santa Clara, which is spanged
with vineyars, gave 34l. Most Of these votes
came from olonies where rigid prohibition or
high licensehas been the rule for some years.
Thus Pssadea, which is in the centre of great
vineyard, wi not tolerate liquor store within
the town Units; and the same thing is true of
Pomona. vsich obtained National publicity by
the Murchon letter
The American party, that promised 70 become
q power fur years ago, was completely fattened
out at tn election. 1t polled only trife over
1000 vots in the State, whereas its managers
claimed would get 10000. No one has any
confidenc, in its leaders, which, perhaps. &C
counts &c its total collapse.
The republicans ought to have secured one
more mnber Of Congress than they did Biggs,
the Denocrat who ran in the Id District, could
have ben beaten by strong man, as he had voted
agains duties imported fruits and raislns.
But tie Republicans put up Engon, who was an
snti- Edraulicer. The result was that Biggs,
who Introduced the resolution for commission
TO iauire into this question, solid with the
hydpulic miners, and they voted for him re-
gardess of party. Nevada County, which went
zoe Republican, gave Biggs 200 more votes than
it yave Harrison. II the Republicans had
chsen q man who was in favor of helping the
hyrauhc miners. they could easily have defeated
Bigs
In San Francisco Boss Buckley received a
lockout. Although the Democrats secured the
Mayor and majority Of the legislative candi-
dtes the supervisors and the Board of Education
hey lost the sheriff, county clerk, tax collector,
nd District-Attorney. All these offices i'm
.ortant TO Buckley but especially the sherifs
flee, through which he manipulate the
ourts and juries. Reputable citizens were dis
rrsted with Buckley's shameless devices 10 con-
tol the candidates, and Kelly, who ran for sheriff

the rainbow chaser" he claimed everything IN

The Republican jubilee parade Thursday night
was a unique demonstration marked by many
ginal characters and an enthusiasm that was
never paralleled in this city. The feature of the
display, was the large number OF enormous spoons
borne by paraders signifying soup for Cleve-
and. The bandanna was also draped in mourn
ng, and the broom brigade was large and hilarious
More than half the line was made up of volun-
eers. who marched raseedly, but whose shouts
could be heard blocks away. As the procession
fled by The Chronicle" office, cheers and shouts
arose for the paper which had made so splendid
fight for Harrison and Protection.
Senator Hearsts organ here has been trying
20 demonstrate for two days that the New-York
action fight between Hill and Cleveland cost the
Democratic party the election THIS is ridculed

,dmit that free trade beat them. Cleveland

The success Of Harrison means a great deal TO
California. Governor Waterman estimates that

grapes this winter, which would never have been
planted had Cleveland succeeded Assurance that
the present tariff on fruit and rasins will not be
