Is safe for Mckinley. This statement is
warranted by the latest returns. Chair
man Mclaughlin of the Republican
State Committee positively states that
California has gone for the Republican
candidate by from 5000 to 5000. The
Republican papers in this city give the
majority as ranging from 5000 to 1O,-
600, and the Examiner" Oem.) con-
cedes the State to Mckinley by 5000.
Up to a late hour tonight returns had
been received from zoos out of 2,3II
precincts. These place Mckinley in the
lead by 6,910, the figures standing Nc
Kinley 133, 291, Bryan 126,321. The
count of the vote on the national ticket
was completed in San Francisco early
this afternoon, Mckinley received 81
314 and Bryan 31,0O6. This result
created considerable surprise, as the
Republican managers had expected Nc
kinley to carry the city by at least
5000.
Alameda County is the banner Re-
publican County of the State this year,
giving Mckinley 1888 and Bryan s.
346, majority of 5,032 for the head of
the ticket.
Humboldt County, which gave ma
jority for the Populist candidate for
Governor two years ago, has evidently
gone Republican by from 500 to 700.
San Joaquin County, which cast its
vote overwhelmingly for Budd Dem.)
for Governor in 1894, is carried by
Bryan by only % votes. Mckinley car
ries Santa Clara County by about LOCO,
the Democratic strongholds in the
county having gone Republican, or
given greatly reduced majorities.
Five Republicans and two Democrats
will probably be sent to Congress. Ma
guire Oem.) in the Fourth District and
De Vries (Fusion) in the Second are GER
tain of election. Barham Rep) in the
First, Hilborn (Rep) in the Third and
Loud Rep) in the Fifth, are safe be-
yond doubt. McLachlan Rep) in the
Sixth and Bowers (Rep) in the Seventh
are leading by a narrow margin, and
the result will be close.
The Legislature will be controlled in
both branches by the Republicans, who
have II of the 20 hold-over Senators.
In San Francisco the Democrats elect
four out of five senators and IL out of is
AssembIymen.
In the outside counties the Republi
cans made numerous gains, the fusion
vote having had but little apparent af-
feet.
