1000; Weaver, 600.

gress had been defeated, but claimed
the election OF only three positively
Case Broderick in the First, Funston in
the Second and Curtis in the Fourth.
As to the complexion of the legisla-
ture he is absolutely certain that the
republicans will have clear majority
on joint ballot. Seventy-fve republic
an mem bers of the house, he declares,
have positively been elected and he
claims a majority of the senate. al
though he would give no definite fig
ures.
The returns show that George T. An
thony, republican candidate for con-
gresham at large, has run up even
with his ticket, SO that If Smith is
elected governor it is probable that he
too will be elected. This is, in nut
shell, the claims that the republicans
finally make.
At II o'clock Chairman Simpson tele-
graphed to Chairman Carter, of the re-
publican national committee, assuring
him that the Harrison electors have
been elected in Kansas by over 500 ma
jority.
The democrats and populists decline
to accept the figures given by Chair
man Simpson as final In fact few re-
publicans are overconfident that they
will prove correct.
Chairman Jones of the democratic
state central committee claims to have
received returns from ninety of the 1O6
counties which show majority for the
fusion state and electoral ticket APP
proximating $4,000. He says that if
every vote in the sixteen remaining
counties should be cast for the repub-
lican ticket, there would not be enough
of them to wipe out one half of the ma
jority already assured. He says that
in the congressional districts fusion
candidates have certainly been success
full in the Third, Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh. However, he does not con-
cede the remaining three to have been
carried by the republicans
Chairman Breidenthal, of the peoples
party committee. makes about the same
claims as Chairman Jones.

the state has gone for Cleveland. Not

are in doubt, with the chances favoring
Dovener, rep, in the First district, and
Anderson, dem, in the Third.
The Second and Fourth remain demo
cratic. Democrats will have ten ma

Anahefn.


EDITORS HERALD: In my interviews,
rambles, walks and talks with the gen.
ial people of Orange county, much val
liable information has been obtained in
regard to productions, climate, quality
and adaptability of soil. Locke's theory
is that no two persons can see the same
thing alike. l sometimes was inclined
to ask the narrator the question, "How
long have you lived in California;"
thinking, perhaps, that the climate had
something to do with the imagination.
One in California may think he sees a
real city, lake or forest, when in reality
it is only 'fata morgana."
From observation and limited expert
ence must confess that this is won
derful country. To boil the real ideal
down, it is the real paradise found"
Anything and everything that will
flourish in either temperate or
semi tropic country will grow to
perfection here. We have made Ana
helm the common center of divergence,
and find in every direction, that the
country is settling up rapidly, except
that portion south and southwest of the
Santa Ana river. l learn through the
agency of the Stearns Rancho company,
that they have sold to actual settlers
over % 900 acres of land, and that they
intend to place on the market all of
their lands in the early part OF '9S at
prices that will guarantee speedy sales.
The towns and cities of the county are
a little quiet, except in the old German
colony, Anaheim, which is having a
solid and substantial boom, caused,
principally, by the locating of the beet
sugar factory near the suburbs OF the
city. A new two-story city hall is in
course of construction, which shows
pride and prosperity, and if the sur
rounding country increases in popula-
ton and prosperity for the next year, as
it has in the last, it may yet be used for
county purposes. In this city, all days
are sacred and holy alike, all are blessed
with the privilege of selecting their own
holy or holly days; all have perfect
rights to play or pray one day or seven
days in each week, providing they can
afford it-a ''free CITY," The people are
kind, genial and hospitable, and l sim
cerely would like to see the tenderfeet
look this country over before settling.

such disgraceful object adorning their
