Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-11-06
THE ELECTION.
ALMOST COMPLETE RETURNS FROM
THIS COUNTY.
Stanley for Sheriff, Cravens for Police
Judge and Irvine for Assessor
The Others Republican.

The RECORD UNION is able, after great
deal of labor, to present tolerably COM
plete table of the city and county vote at
Tuesdays election. 1t is not nearly as
complete as could be wished, but it is the
best that is possible under the circum-
stances.
The RECORD. UNION made careful pro-
vision for accuracy and promp,ness in
the returns to this Office, but the an
ticipations INDUCED in in many cases
were not realized, the returns coming in in
unsatisfactory condition. 1t seems to be
conventional that Election Boards furnish
ing news reports fail to observe the request
to fill all the blanks provided. Some OF the
most competent of the election officials
have supplied returns but partially made
out, and very few have given the total vote
as shown BY the poll lists, though the de-
STABILITY of such exhibits was urgently i'm
pressed upon the officers.
All the city precincts have been heard
from, bat the figures given are not claimed
to be absolutely correct, nor are those for
each candidate given in all instances. In
the case of close vote for any particular
Office the results given could not be de-
pended on, but are approximately correct.
The thanks of the RECORD UNION are due
to the gentlemen in the city and the coun-
try who returned its election blanks filled
out with the results in the many precincts.
There are few country precincts yet to
be heard from, and as these are all in the
Twentieth Assembly District, where the
= contest is close between Messrs. Campbell
and Doty, the votes of these precincts may
determine the result
So far as is known the result in this
county will be about COO majority for the
Republican State ticket. Lee Stanley lwho
Is Republican, has been elected Sheriff
over McMullen, the regular Republican
nominee, through the combined efforts OF
the Democrats and Independents. Irvine,
Democrat, for Assessor, is also elected by
aid of the same influence.
w. w. Rhoads, whose candidacy for the
County Clerkship was opposed by Beard,
the Democratic nominee and Hamilton,
who ran as an Independent, has undoubt-
edly been elected by a very considerable
majority. 1t is rumored, however, that
Hamilton's friends have some complaint
To make of alleged informally in the
counting of ballots in one precinct, and
claim that If the votes were correctly can
ysssed he would be elected.
AS before stated, there is some uncer-
taiDtV as TO tue result III tHe 1Meutlein
Assembly District. Friends OF Campbell
claim that his election is assured whil'
similar claim is made on behalf of Doty
his opponent. Nit.
candidate, has been defeated for Supervise
in the Fret District, much to his own sur
prise and that Of his many friends, 6y "
Miller, the well-knoSn staoiemah Oh MIMI
street.
RIO. Cravens, Democratic candidate 10
Police Judge, has been elected over his op
ponent, G. G.. Davis. 1t may require IN q
official canvass to determine whether ), d
Devine or C. W. Baker has been elected a
City Justice of the Peace, Henry Starr naS
ing been chosen TO one of the two posinsoin
to be filed. At late hour last night MI
Devine stated that he had verified the r.
turns and was elected by comfortaoi
majority. The figures in our table sho'
Devine's msjority to be 56.
Ii Is safe 10 say that Irvine, Democrat
candidate for Assessor, is elected.
