STILL WAITING.
Candidates on the Ragged
Edge.
ANXIOUS FOR THE RETURNS.
Many a Close Fight Will Be Decided
When the Official Count
Comes In.

Many of the candidates for municipal
honors are still on the anxious seat because
there are still some precincts to hear from.
Among other anxious men are McDade
and Scott, who both want to have the serv-
| ing of warrants and subpenas. Billy Blatt-
ner wanted this work. but will have to
serve the ThTd-street saloon In some other
capacity.
At present McDade leads Scott by some
1600 votes, but he is very anxious about the
other twenty-seven precincts not included
in that count.
1t is nonsense to talk of the Treasurer.
Widber succeeds himself; but when 1t
comes to Recorder the fight is strong. as
there is only a difference OF "a votes in
favor of Reed against Glynn. with twenty
five precincts to hear from.
The San Benito rancher is to have the
chance to comply with the regulations OF
the United States and prove up on his
homestead in good shape. and it is hoped no
wicked Democrat will jump his ranch while
he is still collector of licenses OF the city
and county of San Francisco.
The fact is that while other men are left
behind by him. be is outvoted by Haley
and is 1929 ballots short
Billy Barnes was so personally popular
that his election was foregone conclusion
but there was some surprise expressed at
the election of Cresswell for Attorney
and Counselor, but he gets there just the
same.
Coroner GarwoOd's large vote was rather
a surprise, but he is left by 1000, and his
place will be taken by DR.. Jerome A.
Hughes.
Freese succeeds himself as Public Ad-
mi trNr l. al.
largest on the ticket
There are many who will regret that
Charley Tilton got left for Surveyor. The
NOn-Partisan nomination that lie could
have had would have elected him. but Fitz-
hugh gets there by nearly 2OO0
What sweep Ackerson made The peo-
pie Of San Francisco only need hope that he
will make as clean sweep Of the streets as
he did Of his opponents.
Wallace is sustained in his fight against
the bossism in the city and has been
returned as Superior Judge by the largest
vote poi.ed. Slack has also been reelected,
and so has Trout, and Seawell comes in as
the fourth Judge.
Joachimsen secured the Non-Partisan
nomination for Police Judge aud is conse-
quently the leader in that fight by nearly
5000. His coadjutors will be- Campbell and
either Humphreys or Low.
The five Justices of the Peace will prob
ably be Dunn. Barry. Willett, and either
Cook or Gray.
When 1t comes to Supervisors the ques-
ton becomes mixed, but the following can
didates appear 20 have the best showing:
In the First Ward Goodwin leads by $500
and may be counted as safe; but in the
Second Ward the returns with twenty-five
precincts to hear from, are considerably
closer. Rogers d. only leads Browell n. p.
by 259 votes.
Montgomery has carried the Third Ward.
Kennedy. who was on both the Non.
Partisan and Democratic tickets, has car
rled the Fourth Ward by 1900 plurality.
While the figures are closer in the Fifth
Ward, there can be no doubt OF F0rman's
election. and he was considered too honest
to 20 on the Kelly-Crimmins ticket and was
nominated by the NOu-Partisans.
Whether or not his Christian name had
anything to do with it, there is no doubt of
the election Of Christ tisn Reis as Supervisor
Of the Sixth Ward.
James Ryan gets there in the Seventh
Ward and Robert Day in the Eighth, but
Heyer. who has the indor sement of Pat
Dolan and all others of that ilk, is not sure
yet, as Dundon Is close after him, only 26O
votes behind, and "stll there's more to fol-
low"
Turning to the Tenth Ward, Hinton has
knocked SOnntag Into a cooked hat and
used him up almost as badly as the latter's
namesake used the deputy sherifs who were
after after him and his "pardner."
thousand majority is sufficient to insure
that Jefferson G. James will be the next
Supervisor from the Eleventh Ward.
Poor August Helbing who pulled out his
$40 so gracefully at the Wigwam and paid
for his nomination on the Nike de Young
ticket, will have to make 1t up on mining
stocks, for James Denman has anyhow $500
votes more than he could poll.
When il comes to talk of School Directors
the people should pity the man who has to
tabulate them and say who Is elected
Sixty-fye candidates packed as closely as
sardlnes IN box, ten of them women. pre-
pared to reform the schools, give one an
awful task when tired out.
But somehow or another there is no gal
laniry among the people OF San Francisco
and no woman was elected.
1t is true that while father, mother and
daughter in one instance ran, the father got
there and the ladies were left, but any one
who was ever married knows how that will
be, the ladies will have the vote on the
board.
As at present appears the following will
compose the School Board next year: Pei
ham W. Ames d.. j. Il. Burke n. P D..
Charles a. Clinton n. p. Thomas r.
Carew d.. j. j. Bowling D., Charles w.
Decker R., S. E. DuttOn n. p. F. j. French
n. p, F. A. Hyde n. p, Il. j. Stafford d.
and c. L. Perkins n. p.
For the unexpired terms Broderick will
take Smiley's place on the first Monday
after the votes are counted, unless, as is
probable. the present Auditor decides to
fight the matter out in the courts
Daingerfeld will assume the bench and
be Superior Judge till 1895.
James A. Campbell will step from the
justices Court to the Police bench, but
Dunn and Barry are fighting for his posi-
ton.
Goodwin has been elected a Supervisor
for the First Ward, and Rogers, probably,
for the Second.
Charles A. Clinton will have no difficulty
in showing that he is a School Director for
the unexpired term. for he leads his next
opponent by nearly 5000 votes.
This completes the list ON the municipal
ticket.
