ANXIOUS CANDIDATES.
THEY CLOSELY WATCH THE CANVASS
OF ELECTION RETURNS.
Nobody Seriously Endangered Thus Far
Except Devine-He Still Claims
Lead of Twenty-Five.

The Supervisors and tally clerks were at
their posts promptly at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning to take up the broken thread of
their tedious task (of canvassing the cleo
ton returns) where it was snapped asunder
at half-past o'clock the preceding even
ing. Those candidates who have CLOSE
contests were also on hand, or represented
by friends, and the amount of figuring done
during the day was enormous. They all
appear to be cheerful workers, however.
and nobody seems disposed to give up the
fight as yet, except those who are several
hundred votes behind their opponents.
Even Matt F. Johnson appears not to be
without hope of going to the Legislature in
place of Elwood Bruner, as he has re-
manned almost constantly by the canvass
ers since the returns were opened, and
watches every move closely.
The person most endangered-of those
who had supposed himself elected by
good round msjority-is James B. Devine,
candidate on the Republican ticket for City
Justice of the Peace. He started in yester-
day with an estimated majority of nearly so
votes over G. W. Baker, but when the tally
sheet of the eighth precinct of the Second
Supervisor District was canvassed it was
found that the election clerks bad grossly
blundered in making up their totals. and
that Bakers vote SHOULD have been SO ill.,
stead Of A. This gave him an increase of
AZ votes, reducing Devine's lead to %, &C.
eording to the latter's figures.
Baker gained three more votes in the
second precinct Of the Third District, re-
ducing Deyine's lead to %. There were
some other and minor changes before that,

A. T. ]. Reynolds, Peter Hanson and
Howard D. Kercheval were elected for the
ensuing two years. The affairs of the
district are in very prosperous condition.
In another month or so the levees will be
completed and they are of SO complete and
solid a character that the embankments
built in former years bear no comparison
to the present ones.
There is large dredger now engaged in
digging canal from the pump, at the
lower end of the island, up through its
center. The canal is nearly forty feet wide,
and ten or twelve deep, and when exca-
waited about mile further the pump will
make short work of what lutte water re-
mains in the center of the island.
Many perons are taking long leases of
land on the island, some paving from i've
to ten dollars cash per acre per year rental
and others paying one-fourth of their crops.
This is for raw tule land.

are getting rich, as is evidenced in the &C.

houses, and the general air of prosperity

Grand Island is considered the "king-pin"
district of the State.
G. W. Clark, of this city, has rented his
tract of 430 acres, and has already put up

in which both Devine and Baker alternate
ly gained and lest vote or two, but at the
close of the days canvass the result stood
as Understanding to the figures kept by
Devine.
The returns of the eighth precinct-in
which the totals of nearly all the c:ndi-
dates were changed from those returned by
the election clerks-contained a written
protest from II. H. Thielen, one of the Off.
GERS OF election in that precinct, against
the canvassing of the Citizens Republican
tickets. on the ground that they were lille
gal. He claimed that the heading TO this
ticket was q counterfeit of the regular Re-
publican ticket, and came under the pro-
vision of the Code which required any
counterfeit ticket to be counted for the reg
ular ticket. The canvassers took no action,
except to file the protest.
While on this subject it may be well
enough to state that several Republicans
who have been defeated, on the face of the
returns, expect to be installed in Office by
the Courts They claim that these Cit
zen Republican" tickets should, under the
law, all be counted for the Regular Re-
publican" ticket. and it seems to be under
stood that the matter will be tested in the
Courts.
The cauvassers made good headway yes
terday. They commenced with the third
precinct of the Second District and COM
pleted the eight remaining precincts in
that district and the first and second Pre-
cincls of the Third District.
The last three precincts canvassed do not
appear in the following table, as there is
not room therefor in the double-column,
but will be included in to-morrow's report,
which will embrace all of the city vote,
and probably portion of District No. 4.
There were no changes made yesterday
of votes enough to materially improve any
persons chances for election except those
of Baker for Justice of the Peace, and
further changes in the vote for this office
are Just as liable to improve Dsvine's
chances as his Should the Citizens Re-
publican ticket be declared illegal, and the
votes credited to the candidates thereon be
given to the regular Republican candidates,
then it will become interesting to note
any of the latter will he SD far in
the rear that the Democratic and scratched
votes will be enough to defeat
them.
The Board will resume the canvass at 9
o. clock this morning.

The studies consist of fruit piece in oil,

eight feet in length, and weighed probably
200 pounds or more. In its cspture in the

johnson Will be Matched Again-The
Outdoor Men.
At q meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Sacramento Athletic Club the result
of the recent Pacific Coast boxing tourna-
ment at San Francisco was discussed. A
set of congratnlatory resolutions was
ordered engrossed and presented to Messrs.
johnson and O'Neill, the young men who
represented the Sacramento Club so well
at that tournament
Owing to the fact that much has been
said by way of excuse for tue defeat Of Nc
Cord, the Pacific coast champion, by the
Sacramento man, Johnson-and also re-
earding the abilities of Satierwhite, who
subsequently defeated johnson for the
championsbip-the Directors decided to
offer q 500 medal or trophy, to be boxed
for in the rooms of the Sacramento Ath-
letc Club by either Satterwhite or Nc
Cord and Johnson, Satterwhite preferred.
Should either of the Olympic men accept
johnson will go into training at once. The
Judges and referee will be mutually agreed
upon by both clubs, and the match will
only be witnessed by members Of both.
The Sacramento Club, in making this
offer, does not wish TO create the impress

satisfied with the decision of the judges at
the recent tournament. Johnson believes
now that he gained something in expert
ence that he can make better showing
with Satterwhite than he did at the tourna-
ment, and the local club has expressed its
willingness to give him an opportunity.
The practice of the outdoor men of the
local club, at East Park, next Sunday
morning, promises to be equally as inter-
esting as that of last Sunday. A special
200-yard handicap race for members will
be one OF the features, and II is expected
there will be large number of entries for
the event. A handsome running costume
will be awarded 10 the victor.
The main event of the day, however,
will be a special match race between
George H. Clark, President of the club, and
Vice, President Ira A. Robbie. The latter
proposes to give the President six yards
start, and the course will be 100 yards. 1t
is understood that both gentlemen have
gone into active training for the race, and
it promises to be an exciting affair.
