THE COUNTY.
ELEVEN PRECINCTS MISsIN,

day over the election tidings, and gave
vent to their feelings with all the devices
to which an American crowd can resort.
One store flooded the street with diminu-
tive ROSTERS, and these some of the en-
adherents of the g. o. p. stuck
on the crowns of their hats, and thus
paraded about, apparently rejoicing in
the expressions of ridicule with which
they were frequently assailed. The
Democrats did not give up hope
until Brice's concession OF victory to
tho Harrison party was posted, and then
thosp who had large sums of money
staked on the result took the matter as
cheerfully as possible, conscious that
they had done all in their power to avert
defeat A good many were to be found
who were willingt to bet even money that
Cleveland would have the popular vote
but takers were both few and far be.
tween. 1t is estimated that over $50, OOC
will change hands in this city on the re.
suit OF the campaign, and several gentle.
men are quite big winners, one well. known
merchant on Spring street netting the
handsome sum of 5000. The matters
are benefited wonderfully as custom has
made the popular bet "a hat" and the
consequence is that new chapeaur will be
noticeable on the streets for some time tc
come. 1t is only to be expected that the
Cinnamon are as gleesome as their iel
low-supporters of the Monaghan candi
date. A stroll around the celestial quar-
ters and inquiries here and there of its
yellow-s skinned denizens who sat bask.

Heap glad Hallyson 'lected."
A good many of Harrison's supporters
in the Caucasian part of the city practi.
cally upheld the free whisky plank OF
the Republican platform, for alcoholic
refreshment flowed literally in the up
town saloons for the benefit of those who
had supported the victorious local Office
seekers Among the bets which are to
be paid are the wheelbarrow bets, Of
which perhaps the most noticeable is
that Mrs. 6. Brose Democrat, of the
Anglice Bakery, and Mrs. J. E. Woods
(Republican). This bet will be carried
out on Monday afternoon at O'Clock
and the route of the wheelbarrow will
he from the corner of First and
Spring to the Plaza and return OF
Main to First street. A collection
will be taken up on the route for tn,
beneSt of the Firemen's and Policemen
funds. The city band will lead the pro
cession.
Mr.. J. H. Mullaly will wheel barrow
from the Pico House to First on Main, i

elected.
THE COUNT.
The complete returns OF this county
will not be learned until the Supervisors
open the envelopes ON Monday next and
canvass the vote. There are eleven pre-.
cincts in the county in which the
officers of the election board failed
to comply with the instructions oil
the Supervisors, and write the returns
on the backs of the envelopes. These
few precincts, however, when made
known will not mater ally alter the
totals as given this morning, as most OIL
them are small, and there are about as
many that are known to be Democra tic
as there are that are Republican. 1t is
expected, however, that when the re-
turns are opened by the Supervisors that
fully 1000 votes will be counted thai
were thrown out against the express
orders Of the District Attorney
A serious charge is preferred against The
Pasadena Board. 1t is reported that some
Republican tickets that were manifestly
against the law were replaced by some
Of the Republican judges, and that the
good tickets thus substituted wer.
counted.
The result SO far as known at present
which contains the count of all the pre-
cincts of the county except eleven, is al
follows:
