The San Francisco call., 1896-11-05
Country Precincts Add to the
Gains Recorded in San
Francisco.
DEMOCRATS GET ONLY TWO
CONGRESSMEN.
McLachlan in the Sixth and Bowers
in the Seventh Will Be
Returned.

McKinley's plurality in California will
reach nearly 10000. Yesterdays strag-
Cling returns showed Republican gains in
all sections of the State, and the hope of
the fusionist managers and sympathizers
that Bryan would pass the Ohio states
man when the country precincts were
heard from was not realized. The plu-
rality grew and grew, slowly but surely.
until at midnight it had reached 6931,
with 26s precincts to hear from. Later
returns are likely to add from 1000 20 5000
TO these figures.
The vote for each candidate, as counted
up TO midnight, was: Mckinley 133, 291,
Bryan 126,3 SOL San Francisco, with. one
precinct to hear from, gave Mckinley 80
s4s, Bryan 80, ASP, Republican plurality
of 396.
The Legislature is certain to be Re-
publican on joint ballot and United
States Senator, who will assist President
Mckinley in his proposed tariff reforms,
will be elected at the coming session.
The Congressional situation has not
changed and CaIifornia's delegation Will
consist of five Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis. In the Sixth and Seventh districts
the result was in DOUBT up to a late hour
last night, but the Republican candidates
retained their lead and seemed assured Of
victory.
In the former district the vote at the
midnight compilation was: McLachlan
r. Is, ,9O1, Barlow F. 1921. Bowers R. in
the Seventh had 1851 to Castles F.
1858. The missing precincts are not
likely TO materially change this result
Congressman Bowers telegraphed to
THE CALL st 10 O'Clock:
Incomplete returns show my election by 40
plurality. w. W. BOWERS.
California has responded nobly to the
Nations call, and its voice is heard in the
chorus that sings exultingly of the tri-
umph over reputation, disorder and as
saults on the industries of the country.

A we1l-pigger,s Nerve.

ABERDEEN, Md, Sept. 23.-A well.
digger named Shirley. employed by Frank
Riley, had thrilling experience on Tues
day in the woodland lying northwest oil
Aberdeen, belonging to the OSBORN broth
ers. and saved his life only by great nerve
and presence OF mind. The tim Der is De-
ing cleared, and Riiey's sawmill IS al work
on it converting the trees into lumb for
building purposes.
Shirley was employed to deepen q well
and had placed charge OF dynamite in
the bottom to blast large rock that was
in the way. After lighting the fuse he
came out of the we'll and waited a sufh-
cient length OF time, as he thought, for
the fuse 10 burn. He returned tc the we'll
amid many protests from large number
of men employed at the mill. When the
bottom was reached he found the fuse
burning and in another second the explo-
sion would take place. With remarka BILE
courage and presence OF mind he pinchad
off the burning fuse with his thumb and
fingers, thus saving his life, as in another
second he would have been blown into
pieces.
Facing death under such circumstances
was an ordeal we'll calculated to tax The
nerve of any ose. When Shirley came
ont of the well he was not even pale. He
treated it as a case of "snuffing out a slow
fuse or being snuffed out Baltimore
Sun.

SIXTH DISTRICT.
LOS ANGELES.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 4-Owing
to few returns from some of the close
States of the East favorable to the Bryan
cause, literally dcctored by local news
paper, bowling gang of demo-pops has
had possession of the town tonight, de-
spite the almost positive assurance of Nc
Kinley's election. The legislative ticket
in the county stands six Republican to
one fusionist, William Mead, VINO de-
feated George F. McCulIock in the
Seventy-third Assembly District by re-
duced majority.
The combine between Steve Gator and
Tom White has met with merited rebuke
at the latter's own home. Johnston Jones,
fusion candidate for the State Senate, is
the especial friend of White. He was
nominated at "Our Steye's" dictatlon, and
White, residing in Jones' district, gave
the latter's candidacy special attention
and rendered all the assistance in his
power. Jones has been overwhelmingly
defeated by Robert n. Bulla. The other
Republicans elected 10 the Legislature
from this county are Walter S. Melick, ].
c. Vossburg, Brewster c. Kenyon, 1. II.

FRESNO.

FRESNO, CAL, Nov. 4.-There are still
several outlying Bryan precincts to hear
from, but careful estimate places the
fusion candidates plurality at about 1000.
The precincts heard from up to midnight
give Bowers for Congress 226l and Castle
2542. The remaining precincts will in
crease Castles plurality to about 400. In
the two Assembly districts Moultrie and
Cartwright. the fusion candidates, were
elected by large ma ajorities.
In the Second Supervisorial District
Manly T. was elected by about so major
ity. Sayre d.. was reelected in the Fifth
District by majority. Alexander E.
Smith was elected Supervisor IN this city
by 6S m aiority, after a bitter struggle. 1t
was signal victory scored by the Repub-
hcan party for honest government.
The Democrats and Fopulists became
satisfied during the day that Bryan would
be elected and took their turn at making
demonstration, as the Republicans had
done the night before. The Republicans
maintained confidence, however. and their
expectations of to-night's returns were
realized. During the afternoon the re-
port was abroad on the streets that Bryan
had been elected beyond question.

FIRST DISTRICT.
HUMBOLDT.

EUREKA, CAL, Nov. 4-The excite
ment over the election has continued here
all day and crowds have thronged the
headquarters of both parties. Since the
returns commenced coming in last night
the Republicans have been confident and
jubilant, while the fusionists have been
correspondingly dubious and downcast.
The hopes of the latter were revived to-
night by an alleged telegram from the
State chairman, claiming California and
the election of Bryan.
This county can be coun ted on for a
ma iority OF 600 for Mckinley. The silver
leaders are greatly surprised at the Re-
publican vote.
Protection rather than the financial
question was the iss ue here, especially in
the wool l-growing districts. Never were
so many straight Republican tickets voted
here before. The Congressional and legis-
lative fights were the hottest ever known.
Cutler for Congress was slaughtered in his
own town and county.
Monteith cut no figure, receiving only
g. votes in the city precincts. In these
same precincts Barham (R.) J obtnned 1103
and Cutler 9S1, with the wool precincts 20
hear from.
For State Senator thirty out of sixty
precincts of the county give Gillett Il. 2190
and Haynes F. 1716. Gillett also carries
Del Norte. Haynes stronghold, by IS.
Twenty-one out OF thirty-six precincts in
the Second Assembly District give Hill r.
1117, Devlin F. 994.
Eleven precincts out of twenty-four in
the Third Assembly District give Damon
(R-) T94, Waddington (fusion) $40. The
remaining precincts are in what is known
as the sheep country, which is solidly for
protection and will swell these ma jorities
Conservative estimates place that of Gill
lett for State Senator at 900. and those OF
Hill and Damon for the Assembly at $50
and 800 respectively.
The total vote of the county was about
5000. The thirty precincts give Mckinley
2l00 ana Bryan 100.

Historical Prophecies That Failed.

In these times of cheap vaticination
and short-dated prophecies. it may not be
amiss TO cast retrospective glance on
few OF the most monumental mistakes
ever achieved in this line. Here are few
OF these famous contributions 10 the his
tory of human error:
l. Aristotle said that slavery would las.
forever, or would cease only when the
shuttle would weave of its own accord.
A double mistake this, for slavery is ell
but abolished and, thanks to invention,
the shuttle may be said to work of its own
accord.
2. Before fifty years are over ali Europe
will be republican or Cossack," prophe-
sled the exile OF St Helena in the first dec
ade OF this century. We are nearing now
its fag end, but "Old Yurrup" is less re-
publican than ever, and is still some way
from universal Cossackery.

sion and will never be anything else, !"
opined Prince Metternich, and just before
his death he saw what he considered
Utopia on the point of becoming reality.

use for the transport of goods" sang out
NJ. Thiers, leading a chorus OF sententious
economists
.. There is no morrow for universal

OF the very revolution which sent him
into exile and promulgated universal suf-
irage as sovereign law.
.. Never" was NJ. Rouher's answer to

When Made in a Wrong Way


at wish you would say to the people
some day that l don't believe more than
half those who try Postum, the health
coffee, for the first TINA get 1t right. In
my family the first time it was served the
color was thin and the taste sort of
watery without much character Come
to inquire, the cook had bolied it about
FIVE minutes instead of fifteen; so the
next morning we tried il again and had
it boiled properly, then it came on with
the rich deep brown color of fine coffee.
1 drink my coffee with cream and sugar,
and Postum hit my taste very favorably.
Now we are daily users OF Postum, the
food drink, and stanch champions OF II.
But il we had formed an opinion from the
first trial, when the fault was entirely our
own, we would have condemned II ana
been denied the use Of a beverage we
prize most highly, and which is helping
US physically as well as adding 70 our
table comforts"

tion of a statement made to the advertise
ment writer OF the Postum Cereal Co.
fact that is well to notice. We do not
think he is quite right in his estimate of
the percentage who blunder in the pre-
paration OF the grain coffee.
Our heavy sales in this city indicate
that it is easily prepared and successfully.
Now and then a person may be careless in
brewing it and get a very poor drink;
carelessness with fine coffee makes it disa-
greea bic instead of pleasant drink.
Postum properly brewed is delicious
and nourishing.
