The San Francisco call., 1896-11-05

have to be returned, and that without de-
lay. Alameda County held that banner
for many years and regarded it as one of
the most precious of her possessions. She
was justly proud of it and its depar-
ture from the southern county rese mi bled
somewhat the funeral of pioneer. Its
return will probably be celebrated with all
the'gushing affection and demonstration
that might be expected of loving couple
who, being once divorced, decide that they
cannot live apart and agree to a reunion.
The estimate of 5000 majority predicted
in this mornings CALL was more modest
than the returns justify. When the Of
ficial count is made this number will be
exceeded by 800 or 400 This is the largest
Republican majority that Alameda has
ever given. and certain it is that nowhere
else In the State has anything near this
amount been returned at this election.
AS soon as it was known that the county
had returned to its former Republican
love it was decided TO lose no time to rat
jfy on the streets what had taken place at
the polls. The National Republican
League this afternoon, in conjunction with
the County Central Committee decided to
hold ratification and jollification to-
to Saturday. William R. Davis, the presi-
dent OF the National Republican League
of Alameda County, issued the following
notice this afternoon:

which was duly appreciated by the gen
