SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. s.
The election in this city and county passed
off quietly and q large vote was polled.
Only partial retdrns have been received,
and the indications are that Mckinley has
carried the county by 200 to 800 majority.
Bowers for Congress is running ahead of
the ticket, and will carry the county by q
good majority. Oster (R.) for Judge is
certainly elected. Golf (R.) for Assem- bly,
man is running well, and is elected by 300
majority.
The vote for Jones (RepubIican) for
State Senator for the counties of San Ber-
nardino, Orange and Riverside is up with
the ticket and he has certainly polled ma
jority of the votes of the county. The
Republicans of this city are wild with Joy
over the ell ction of Mckinley and Hobart
which at this hour seems to be assured
The Democrats and Populists are glum
and detected.

SECOND DISTRICT.
SACRAnENTO.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 3.-The cleo
ton returns in this county. as far as has
been heard from, are an entire surprise to
the knowing ones of both parties. Grove
L. Johnson, who was conceded a majority
of from 1000 to 1000 by men of both parties
has SO far obtained but 1850 majority over
his opponent from Stockton, and his de-
feat is certain.
Sims and Ennis, Republican Assem- bly,
men from the Twentieth and Twenty-first
districts whose defeat was conceded, have
both won victories, and Lovdal. Republi-
can Assemblyman from the Twenty-sec-
ond District, may yet snatch victory
from his opponent, as several large pre-
cincts are still to be heard from.
The Superior Judgsships have not Gre
ated quite so much surprise, as for several
days Hughes and Johnson, Democratic
candidates, have been conceded walk
over, with Hart r. good third.
In the contest for State Senator Doty
D. has always been conceded victor. even
by some of BRUSHES (R.) stanchest friends.
AS lar as has been heard from the county
has majority for the head of the Repub-
lican ticket of a little over 1000 votes. The
majorities from AZ precincts out OF a. city
and county, are as follows: johnson (R.)
Congressman, 1850; Sims (R.), Assembl bly,
man, 224; Ennis (R-), 3l9; Landsborough
(Pop.l So; Brusie (R.), State Senator, 3.
All night long the street in front of the
Record Union Office has been crowded bv
thousands who have been watching the
partial returns from the East thrown by
stereopticon on an enormous canvas, and
at each fresh Indication of the Eastarn
landslide in favor of the Republican candi-
date for President the cheers were deafen-
ing.

OREGON.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 5. The
heaviest vote in the history of the State
was polled to-day. The election in Port
land was attended by scenes of great ex-
element. There were clashes between
Pennoyer policemen who were looking out
for the Bryan vote and special deputies
who looked after the other side. Nnmer-
Gus arrests for illegal voting. repeating
and disturbances at polling places were
made, and among the number were eight
Italians who were arrested in a bunch.
Altogether there were twenty arrests. AS
no registration provision is included in
the Oregon Australian ballot system there
was more or less illegal voting.
The predictions OF the Republican
leaders that Mckinley would carry Ore
gon seem to be verified at this hour.
Sound money carries the city and county
by 2 to l.
Scattering returns from six counties
give no satisfactory results upon which an
estimate may be placed. The Populist
vote for Bryan shows slight gain over
the vote for Populist Congressman last
June. Returns from the State tonight
are slow coming in. At Bryan head
quarters nothing is conceded on the State.
The chairman insists that Bryan will
have $500 outside of Portland.
The city is wild with excitement to-,
night. Thousands of men and women are
marching to and fro in the drizzling rain,
watching the returns. Bands are out
playing and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
walls over the announcement of the re-
suits in the East. 1t is believed McKin-
ley's majority is safe against any gain of
Bryan in the interior, as returns show a
great increase over the estimate of party
managers.
PORTLAND, ORE, Nov. 4-One hun
dred and eighty-four precincts out of 1853
outside of Portland give Mckinley 1884
Bryan 1854.
PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 4.-The COM
plexion of the Oregon vote was not changed
at 1850. The State is safely for McKin-
ley. 1t was announced at midnight that
he had 1000 majority. No definite results
in the State were received at either head
quarters, but Mckinley leads. In accord
ance with his promise made two months

FRESNO.

FRESNO, CAL, Nov. '3-The election
passed of very quietly in this city and
county. Much interest was taken and
good vote generally was polled, but the
interest was of peaceable sort and not
fracas has been reported from any pre-
cinct. The county undoubtedly will give
a majority of several hundred for Bryan.
but the ma iority is lighter than had been
anticipated. The Silver Republican vote
was hardly in evidence, it bein. more than
offset by the m,ddle-of-the-road Populist
vote.
Castle, the fusion nominee for Congress,
has run behind his ticket, and Bowers
will have a comfortable majority in
Fresno County. The fusionists elect Cart
wright and Moultrie for the Assembly,
the former being Populist and the latter
a Democrat.
In the Supervisoral contest it is prob
able that the Republicans elect one, the
Democrats one and the Populists one,
there having been NJ fusion on this Office.
Complete returns, how yer, will be re-
quired to finally decide who has been
elected. The first constitutional amend
ment is showed under by ballots both in
the city and county, while fair m majority
of the voters favor extending suffrage to
women.
Tonight the town is owned by the Re-
publicans, W in view of Eastern returns
are iubilant. The fusionists have gone to
bed.
In the forty heaviest precincts OF the
coun0the Republican electoral vote was
2l3o and the Fusion 1865, which is a fine
showirc for the Papob;cans Rowprs for

A. e. Smith R. is elected Supervisor in

ond and Fifth districts. In twenty-seven

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 3.-Reports
from over the State, though very incom-
plete, indicate that Bryan will carryW ash
ington by at least 5000 majority, and that
Lewis and Jones, Congressional candi-
dates, will be elected. In Seattle apd
King County the ballots counted up to

Sullivan lead Bryan and Rogers by only
FIVE votes.

night prominent Republican leaders of

Sullivan, the Republican candidate, will
pull through.

san RAFAEL, CAL, Nov. 3.-Marin
County is thoroughly redeemed. For tn e
first time in many years the Republicans
have stood shoulder to shoulder for their
entire ticket and the majorities for the
National and legislative nominees are
fully double what was expected and dou-
BILE the majority given to any ticket for a
long time.
San Rafael gives 10 Republican ma jority,
the first time it has gone Republican since
Blaine ran. Every man on the Republi-
can. ticket is elected, from Presidential
electors to Supervisors. There will be but
one Democrat on the new Board of Super
visors, and he holds over. The silver vote
seems to have produced no effect, except
TO swell the Republican vote by the acces-
sion of goodly number of sound
money Democrats.
Barham's majority will be 450 to 500.
General Dickinson will have about 900
majority.

rooms are ablaze with electric lights, and
its bulletin boards are Illuminated with
plethoric majorities for open mills and

LOS ANGELES.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 4.-The
splendid victory which now seems assured
to the Republicans of the United States
has set tue Repu olicans of this city Almost
beside themselves with delight. Every
conceivable device has been made use OF
to swell the glad clamor of victory in be-
half of Mckinley, sound money, peace,
protection and prosperity.
Every body is up and about the streets
at late hour receiving and giving con.
gratulations. Old and young. male and
female. are in the general mixup, and
there seems little inclination to quit the
bulletin boards.
While it is impossible to give exact
figures on the LIE islalive vote tonight,
enough is known to guarantee the election
OF four out of six Republicans.
The Republican candidates for City
Justices have also been elected by hand
some malorities. 1t fact, it may be said
that the Republican party has swept the
field where there was any possible show to
elect its candidates.
The Democrats claim that the Bryan
electors have cSrried the city and this may
be true. but the county Is safely Republi-
can Oy from 1OUU 10 Z4UO.
McLachIan's majority will be small, and
later and fuller returns may possibly de-
feat him, but so far he is ahead, with pros
poets of being a winner. He ran behind
the Mckinley electors in nearly every pre-
cinct III the county. Likewise, Barlow has
run behind the Bryan electors by still
greater difference, making very peculiar
situation.
For some inexplicable cause the local
count is extremely slow. Notwithstanding
the ballots were short. The suffrage
amendment seems 70 have carried in the
county, but the majority in its favor will
be small. The returns on the other amend
ments are too meager to form anything
like an accurate basis for an estimate up

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 3.-Three

SAN DIEGO.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Nov. 3.-Returns
have been coming in slowly from the
county precincts, but enough have been
received to prove that the county mas been
snatched from the fusion column and
placed in the Republican ranks.
Instead of giving the county to Bryan
by 500, as conceded by Republicans week
ago, Mckinley will get it by several hun
dred. Instead of giving the two Superior
Judgeships to Popocrats, Torrance (R.) is
reelected by 300 majority, and the other
Judge is doubtful between Hughes and
Shaw, fusionists.
w. w. Bowers, Republican Congress
man, has received advices from all over
his district conveying congratulations
upon his reelection by rousing majority
over Castle. Bowers will have close 20
500 majority in this, his own county.
For Assemblyman Guy (R. } is rec elected
in the Eightieth Assembly District. The
fight is close between Cox (R.) and Dryden
(Fusionist). with the chances favoring the
latter. The Republican have captured
two of the three Supervisors, electing
Cherry and Swallow.

A. Triple Fusion Could Not Swing
This State Away From the
Republican Party.

Against the odds of the fusion of Demo-
Gratis, Populists and silyerites, California
has remained true to the principles that
alone can insure her prosperity.
Returns from 573 precincts outside of
San Francisco give Mckinley a plurality
of nearly 5000, while the count in this City
thus far indicates Mckinley plurality of
at least 5000.
: The Golden State may therefore be
counted in the great roll of Republican
States which have achieved triumph so
signal and impressive in the cause of
sound money and protection. The plu-
rality will range from 5000 to 10000
The Republicans are certain OF the elec-
ton of four Congressman, and later re-
turns will probably increase the number
to FIVE. The doubt is in the case of Nc
eLachlan, who is hard pressed by Barlow,
the Populist.
In the Fourth District James G. Ma
guire wins by about 10000 majority, and
in the Second District johnson is undoubt-

All Sorts of Ridiculous Things to
Be Done by Losers.
LONDON, Eng, Nov. Sit is estimated
that $500,000 in bets has been placed in
London on the result of the election in
the United States. Colonel Wilson OF
Chicago made a wager of $1,000 even to-
day that Mckinley would be elected. The
bet was taken by F. c. Fulton, Chicago
Bryanite. Besides the ordinary election
bet there has been considerable freak bet
ting. General Morgan, a Brooklyn sill
verite, made a bet in which he engaged
in the event of Bryau's defeat to have all
his teeth drawn. In the event of McKin-
ley's defeat, his opponents, four in num-
Der, agree to have their boards and mus
taches shaved off. The parties to the bet
are under penalty of $500 each in case of
failure to fulfill the terms of the bet.
Articles have been signed and witnessed
to that effect.
LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Nov. 3-The
following contract in the form of a wager
on election was entered into yesterday at
Dardanelle:
This is to certify that we, the undersigned,
have made the following agreement, viz!
That If Mckinley is elected on the Sd of No
vember, 1896 James H. Pettillo (R.) is to bap-
tie Thomas D. Roberts (D.), and that said Rob-
erts is to forever renounce the Democratic
party and the devil; but if Bryan is elected
President Roberts is to baptize Pettillo and
Pettillo is to forever renounce the Republican
party and the devil. The baptizing is to take
place on Petit Jean River at Rocky Crossing
on the second Sa turday in November, 1895, at
2 O'Clock P. NJ, or soon afterward as the
Presidential election may be definitely settled.
The public is cordially invited to be present.

This wager was made at Fayetteville:
Charles E. Burton ana Enoch Dayton
have entered into contract that in case
Mckinley is elected Dayton is to harness
rup and hitch Burton into road cart and
drive him around the square and then
down Dickson street to the depot. Then
he is to fasten him to q post and give hin,
two quarts of oats to eat. Burton is to
pay for the oats ard for Dayton's dinner
If Bryan is elected then the boot is on the
other leg. and the same procedure adopted
