San Francisco, Nov. s.-As the campaign draws
toward a close the Republicans feel moro confident
of success in the State and city elections. The
Chronicle" has made careful canvass of Cali
fornia: it's figures in most cases are conservatives
IL claims the State for Harrison by 10000 ma
iority OF which 5000 comes from San Francisco
OF this city there is always great doubt, so that
$4,000 or $4,000 would be fairer estimate.
noticeable feature of the estimate is the Repuo-
hcan gain in many counties over Blalnes vote
Of 1884, although that vote was deemed phenom-
email. In every county in which California IN
dustries are prominent the sentiment oil pro'cc-
ton leads TO an increased Republican vote, show
ing that the people alive to their own interests
and they have not been deceived by the free
trade sophstries which have been so lndustrlousN
disseminated by Democratic orators and the Dem
ocratic press II is estimated that Alameda will
give 5000 plurality for Harrison; Humboldt
600 Los Angeles 1850; Sacramento, 1000;
San Bernardino. 600: Nevada, 400 San Diego,
HOO: Santa Barbara, s0o Santa Cruz 400.
These represent the largest Republican gains. In
MANY old Democratic strongholds like Fresno.
Tularc MERGED. Kern, Monterey, Tuolumne and
calaveras the Bourbon majority has been heavily
reduced. In this city there is n singular TIL
angular contest for Mayor Mr.. Pond the pres
mt Mayor. is the Democratic nominee; Charles
r. Story is the Republican candidate; while Dr.
z. c. O'Donncll is the Independent. ODonnel
is an anti-Chnese blathcrslIite of the kcarney
stripe, but he has developed so much strength
within a few days that Pond has virtually given
up the fight and many Republicans fear that he
will beat Story. 1t would be worse disgrace
20 the city if he were elected chan the success
OF Kalloch.
The West letter has badly worried the Demo
cratic leaders. and they have retaated by
food of anti-Chinese literature. They have tried
70 show that the Republicans arc wholesale en-
ployers Of Chinese labor, but these charges nave
proved boomcrangs; from Senator Hearst
down TO Chairman English of the State Central
Committee, and Charles r. jenkins, one of the
electors they all hire coolies and cannot deny 1t.
Mr. Hearst owns mines which he operates ana
is the direct employer Of hundreds of coolies
although his newspaper organ here contains col
umns Of denunciation of Harrison and the Re
pubcans as pro-Chincse.
