THE STATES VOTE.
THE STATES VOTE.
Twenty Counties Yet to
Hear From.
HARRISON IN THE LEAD.
But He Is Not Enough Ahead, Even
With Republican StrOngholds
Yet to Come.
HARRISON IN THE LEAF
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

Thirty-three counties in the State. out
side of San Francisco. have now been
heard from officially, casting total vote of
a3 $40. OF this vote Harrison has polled
Al. GIG. Cleveland 40,S46. Weaver 1901 and
Bidwell 1858. This is a plurality for
the Republican electors, so far as has
been heard from, of 733 votes. glance at
the table printed herewith will show that
the returns do not include such strong
Republican counties as Alameda. Los
Angeles and Sacramento, and that of
tie other counties not yet In, San
Mateo. Shasta, SonOma. Suffer, Tulare,
Yuba, Alpine, Del Norte, Fresno. Hum
boldt. Kern, Modoc. Placer and Plumas,
there is at least as much of chance for the
Republicans TO come out with plurality
as for the Democrats. With the strong
holds to hear from, therefore. il is
probable that Harrison will come
to San Francisco with anywhere from
1000 to 5000 plurality, which will not be
sufficient to overcome Cleveland's plurality
in San Francisco. On the whole, therefore
from the returns now in, 1t looks more
and more as though Cleveland had carried
the State and that California had gone
Democratic in a Presidential year for the
first time since the Hancock election. The
figures in the following table speak Tor
themselves:

THE SACRAMENTO rIYSTERY.
The Fate of Young Syme Still a Mat
ter of Uncertainty.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 15-The parents of
Alex b. Syme. an employe in the pipe shop
Of the Southern Pacific. fully believe that
lie was robbed and his body thrown into
the river from the Yolo bridge. The family
live in the village of Washington, Just over
the Sacramento from here. Young Syme,
who Is 20 years old. was seen in several
saloons about town before o'clock Sunday
morning. He had considerable money,
which he displayed in Offering to make cleo
ton wagers. The theory of the police is
that be was followed as lie started for his
home IN Washington, stopped on the bridge
by garroters, and that then a fight epsued,
for Syme's coat and hat were found on the
bridge at daylight. 1t is supposed that
Syme was oyerpOwered Ivy the robbers
lie was an expert swimmer, and must have
been stunned or killed before being hurled
over the high bridge into the stream. Boats
are dragging the river to-day for the body.
