electioneering and OF the principals keep
ing in the background. While this was
not acceptable TO ".he push" as il pre-
vented great deal of buttonholing and
other things known to that element, it
was certainly profitable to the candidates.
In all the districts the fight most ap-
parent was that for Supervisor. In each
of the three districts from which a candi-
date was to be elected there were from
four to six names on the ticket, and not
one of these resigned at the eleventh hour
in favor of some one else, as is nearly
always the case; consequently each can
didate continued his little fight ND to the
hour of closing the polls, thus leaving the
issue in each case very much in doubt.
The First Ward, which shares with the
Sixth the distinction of being the liveliest
in the City on election day. was remark
ably quiet. Very little challenging was
done, no fights were INDUCED in, no acci-
dents were reported and the general con-
duct OF the day was somewhat of a surprise
to those acquainted with the former his

OAKLAND, CAL, Nov. 3.-Alameda
County did not retire last night. OF course
many of its conservative citizens took a
few hours rest, but at this particular time
they do not constitute "the county," The
term is monopolized just now by those to
whom politics are paramount. These had
not finished their interest in last nights
parade bsfore they began to prepare for
the work of to-day.
p The voting began early, and in some of
the precincts one-haIf of the entire votes
were recorded before 10 o'clock. Every
thing was qniet and orderly, and the Aus
tralian ballot system once more covered
itself with glory.
The increased number of booths, VIII hich
guarantees that no elector shall have to
walk more than a couple of blocks to the
polls. has almost done away with the use
of carriages, and the streets were quieter
than at any previous election.
There were many interesting sidelights
to the election. Men who have walked to
the polls arm in arm for a score of years
to-day went separately. Hundreds who
have hitherto been stanch Jeffersonian
Democrats to day walked to the ballot box
with gold ribbon OH their coats.
Judging by appearances one might sup
pose that a majority of the ballots that
went into the tin boxes were for Repu biz
cans. but it was what is known as a "silent
ballot" People seemed to be voting their
convictions, and consequently were not
discussing their choice.
Senator Denison, wearing several kinds
of badges, indicative of his loyalty TO Nc
Kinley, was one of the most familiar
figures on the street. Nothing seemed to
trouble him and he walked up and down
broadway chatting with his friends and
remarking occasionally with twinkle of
his small eyes, that it was only question
with him OF how large it would be. 1T. +"

BERKELEY FOR MCKINLEY
A Quiet but Effective Vote
Polled at the College
Town.
Suffr agists Active-Stratton, Wright
and Gentry Run Ahead of
Their Ticket.

BERKELEY, CAL, Nov. 3.-The cleo
ton in Berkeley passed off quietly and
was almost wholly without incident
worthy of mention. In most of the pre-
cincts more than so per cent OF the entire
vote was cast before 10 A. NJ. AT some of
the polling-places citizens were on hand
and the casting of ballots began as early
as the law allows.
Very little excitement marked the davis
work and the only interesting contests
were those of the fighters for the sixth
amendment ana of candidates for local
offices.
The woman suffragists were out in full
force. They established headquarters at
the Woman's Exchange building and their
leading campaigners, including Mrs. Car
Isle, Mrs. Haight, Mrs. r. P. Thomas and
Mrs. William Keith, visited the various
precincts in buggies and added their last
stroke to the suffrage cause.
The general result Of the National and
Congressional ticket was regarded as GER
tain for Republicans and in consequenc ce
but little interest centered in the big
fight.
Stratton for Senator, Wright for Assem-
blyman and Gentry for Justice of the Peace
ran away ahead of their tickets.

BERKELEY, CAL, Nov. 3.-The Unita-
rian society of Berkeley has accepted the
resignation of their pastor, Rev. Edward
