Chairman Meyers Comedies the stale
to the Democrats.


SAN Francisco, Nov. 9.-The Repub-
ljcan headquarters were thronged this
morning with party workers, who as
sembled to talk over the defeat and ex-
change opinions. At the Republican
State Committee rooms Chairman Meyers
and other members were on hand finish
ing up the work of the campaign.
''What is the cause of this overwhelm-
ing Democratic victory in your opinion ?'
was asked OF Colonel Meyers.
Il cannot account for it, he replied,
upon auy basis of reasoning | can bring
to bear. In the first place statistics show
us that the country generally is prosper
Gus. Nothing has been or can be charged
against HarrISon'S administration. lie
has given us an able, conservative and
clean administration.
at appears to me to be one of those
spontaneous demonstrations of opinion
that sometimes takes hold Of the people
and in this case without any apparent
great cause or issue to prompt the move.
We accept the situation in good spirit and
realize that the President elect will be
the President Of the entire country when
installed i'll office. | hope that the DEM
ocratic party will have full opportunity
to demonstrate to the country their abil-
ity to govern and show to The people the
do this they must have a majority in both
houses of Congress, as well as the admin
istratiOn- l hope they will be placed in
that position, and if they govern the
country well it matters but little to the
people which party is in power, and
should they miSgovern the people will
resent it four years hence. The country
is greater than any party and therefore
can stand the government of any party
for four years. AS u citizen [ hone the
Democratic administration will conduct
the business of this country so that all
| the people may prosper thereby. From
present indications it looks as if Cali
| fornia will be carried by the Democrats"
