SAN Francisco, Nov. Additional
returns which have been received today,
do not materially alter the result of the
state election as announced YESTERDAY.
Returns have been received from nearly
three-fourths OF the precincts in the
state, including all but thirty-nine pre-
cincts in San Francisco. The result
shows plurality of ten thousand for
Markham, R, for governor. Markham
is leading Pond in this city by about 100
votes. The Republicans have elected
their entire state ticket, and in this city
have elected all the municipal and
county officers, except the public ad-
ministrator and. one superior judge.
Sanderson, R, for mayor, has plurality
of 400 only. The places where the re-
suit is in doubt, are the first and second
congressional districts. The Republicans
have carried the other four districts
Blanchard, R., is leading Caminetti, d.,
by 400 in the Second district, with less
than one-third of the precincts to hear
from. Returns have been received from
less than one-half of the precincts in the
First district, and show that Geary, D..
is leading Barham, R., by eight votes.
San Francisco Returns.
Returns were received this morning
from three of the forty-two city precincts
believed to be inaccessible on account of
the bulletins having been sealed up in
the official envelopes, which cannot be
opened until Monday. These three pre-
cincts increase Markham's vote in the
city to 23,994; Ponds, 23,126. Waite,
for secretary of state, receives "a 1872 ;
Hendricks, 21,752. Cutting, R., for con-
gress in the Fourth district, has IL, ,494 ;
Ferrall, D., 10.051. Loud, R., for con-
gress in the Fifth district, has 13, 14S !;

Official Bulletins.
Fifteen hundred and twenty precincts,
including 2e2 precincts in San Fran
cisco, give Markham, r., for governor,
103,645; Pond, 94,3O7 This leaves GIL
precincts to hear from, many of which
are small mountain precincts. The re-
turns present a total of nearly 100000
votes. The total vote at the presidential
election was 250,000.
10 80 p. m.-Returns from 1907 pre-
cincts in California, including all but
forty precincts in this city, give Mark
ham, R., for governor, plurality Of
9799.
10 AS p. m.-Returns from 2SS out of
457 precincts in the First congressional
district, give Barham, r., plurality of
622
IL p. m.-Returns from 338 out of 404
precincts in the Second congressional
district, give Blanchard, R., 1854;
Caminetti, D., 16, 1877; Blanchard's plu-
rality, 397.
The Close Districts.
Returns from 200 precincts in the
First congressional district give Bar
ham, r, 10,9S6; Geary, D, 11,O7s. The
returns are incomplete from 257 pre-
cincts, representing every county, ex-
cept Lake, and as the vote is running so
close, the result will probably not be
known until the total county returns
can be obtained from the county seats.
Returns from 261 precincts out of a
total of 404, in the Second congress
sional district, give Blanchard, R, 49,
$50; Geary, D, 1876. The returns
from San joaquin, Stanislaus, Sutter
and Tuolumne are complete, but are in
complete from the remaining nine coun
ties in the district. The result will
probably not be reached until the Off
cial canvass.
