SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.-With the
close Of the work Of collecting returns on
the Gubnatorial contest in California Sat-
urday night complete returns had been
received from 2,0S4 precincts, and the re-
| suit showed a plurality of 757 votes for
Budd, or if the figures accepted by the
/ Democratic State Central Committee as
Budd's plurality in San Francisco.
namely, ii ,073, are considered, then
Budd's plurality in the State at large at
the close OF the count Saturday was
!, 1,234, with 100 precincts to hear from.
Every effort was made to-day to collect
the returns from as many precincts as
possible, but they are in remote districts.
with no telegraph or telephone connec-
tions, and with a very few exceptions no
positive information with regard to the
vote cast IN the precincts remained in the
various county seats. The fact that
nearly all the telegraphic offices in the
State are open but few hours on Sunday
has added to the difficulty of collecting
information.
The only news of positive character
which has been received by the Associated
Press IS the returns from five additional
PANSAhNeo III ClSAIy Ou NOuDbN, WHICH give
Estee gain OF Il, and the complete re-
turns OF Orange County make three addi-
tlonaI precincts, which give Estee gain
OF Do. Budd's plurality III San Francisco,
according to the count reported at the
registrars office yesterday, is III ,454 with
three precincts to hear from. 1t is not
claimed that these precincts gave Budd
more than 100 plurality, so that as far as
can be determined now his plurality in
this city Is II, ,554. Reckoned on that
basis, and including the returns from the
eight additional precincts in Orange and
Slskiyou Counties received to-day, the
count now stands: Budd, I07, 1874; Estee.

Inmates are as follows: Sierra County.
