California 10000 Republican.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.-Although
complete returns have not been re-
ceived from all the counties of Califor-
MIA, the indications are that the ma
jority of Henry T. Gage, Republican
for governor, will be nearly 10000.
His associates upon the state ticket
are all elected, with the possible ex-
ception of Curry, for secretary OF
state, who ran far behind, and may
have been beaten by Thompson, DEM
ocratic candidate. Mayor Phelan is
reelected in San Francisco by about
1000 majority, but, with the exception
of the assessor and three superior
Judges and two supervisors, the other
municipal officers will be Republicans.
The next state legislature will have a
large Republican majority on joint
ballot, insuring the election of a Re-
publican United States senator to sue
ceed Senator White, Democrat.

with his ticket, which carried every
county in the district His majority is
estimated by the committee at 2,700.
In the Fifth Calderhead has $500
plurality, losing only Clay and Cloud
counties.
Reeder's plurality in the Sixth is
likely to'reach 1900 and Longs in the
Seventh is estimated to-day at 2, 200.
Leedy lost thirty-six counties this
year that he carried in 1896. They
are: Anderson, Bourbon, Chase, Cof-
few, Comanche, Elk, Franklin, Geary,
Grant. Greenwood, Hamilton, Jewell,
johnson, Kingman, Labette, Lyon,
Miami, Montgomery, Nemaha, Neosho,
Norton, Usage, Osborne, Ottawa,
Phillips, Rocks, Rush, Sheridan, sher-
man. Stafford, Stevens, Sumner, Ire
po. Wilson and Woodson. In almost
every instance the influence of the
blanket is to be seen. Bourbon was
in perpetual row over police commits
sioners as long as Leedy was naming
police boards. Coffey is his home
county.
In Franklin, P. P. Elder, Senator
Sheldon and Walter Costigan fought
him before the convention, and Shell
don and Costigan all through the cam
paign. Geary county had a local can
didate on the Republican state ticket,
George A. Clark. Jewell was kept in
a turmoil by r. W. Turner and W. E.
Bush. In Johnson, John 7. st. John
left the reservation with his temper
ance friends.
In Kingman Glenn Fairchild, who
was elected to the legislature on the
fusion ticket, worked for Long and
Stanley, because he hated Leedy and
/ Tavlor Riddle. DR.. Wetmore went
back to his old patients in Lyon county
and sowed seeds of revolt.
Norton county Democrats fought

kept up the fight all fall. Usage county
miners demanded the removal of H. G.
Jumper as chairman of charities. but
were not appeased. Ottawa county

election result: Good prices for wheat
and cattle and heavy wheat crops and
plenty of cattle to sell has put money
into the hands of the people of Kan

refused to believe the Populist argu-
ment that wrong legislation has
brought us hard times.
I'm Kansas the strife for leadership
in our party, with constant quarrels
and kicl1ings, disgusted many voters
and turned them against US. The
failure to get railroad legislation cut
some figure, but not so much as some
Populists believe. Voters did not ask
whether it was the legislature or gov
ernor who was responsible. Some body
was and we lost some votes on ac-
state from scandals and were disgusted
with the inefficiency of the board of
charities; others thought we were
mixing too much with Democrats"
Twill this force reorganization of
the party?'
''Yes, and on the threshold we shall
be confronted with two propositions,
one side will want to go into the re-
organized Democracy, I mean the
Bryan Democracy, the other side will
be for straight-out Socialism. On that
proposition we shall probably split"
Chief Justice Doster said he had not
had time to think about causes or

House will reach twenty
1t has taken more than the usual
length Of time for the exact condition
of the house to be made known. The
earliest returns on Tuesday night in
dicated sweeping Democratic gains
everywhere in the East, and especially
in Massachusetts, New York and Penn
sylvania, and the outlook was so du-
bious for the Republicans as to lead
many of them to believe that they had
been swept from power. Early yes
terdoy morning, however, the Middle
West and the Pacific slope were
heard from and the conditions be-
gan to change. In Missouri, where
the Democrats had claimed a clean
sweep, the detailed report showed that
the three Republ' can districts continue
Republican. 1t soon became evident,
also, that the Republicans had carried
Kansas and made gains in Nebraska,
while California was also Republican.
In addition to all this dispatches indi-
Gated that in Washington the fusion
forces had been routed by the Repub-
licans, so that the Democratic gains in
the East were soon practically wiped
out.

DISTRICTS CONSOLIDATED.
Action Taken By the Davis County
Commissioners.

Pennington, Jan. 24.-By a vote of
two to one, the county commissioners
today decided to grant the petition of
J. H. Coles and others, asking for the
consolidation of the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth school districts. Commits
siOner Kershaw cast the dissenting vote
for the reason that he believed that
a majority of the property owners of
the Thirteenth district were opposed to
the change. When the consolidation is
effected the new district will have a
property valuation of about $250,000,
with a school population of 1876. The
property rights of the two districts will
be adjusted equitably prior to the final
action being taken to unite the dis
tricts.
Another important action of the COM
missioners today was the making of an
order directing the county treasurer to
pay to each school district having rev.
enue tied up in tax sales their just pro-
portion of the taxes, interest and costs
received in redemption from such sales.
The revenue act of 1886 was ambiguous
on this point and consequently the
schools have been deprived of their
portion of redemption money on sales
made in 1896 and 1897. Under the re-
Vised statutes of 1898 the matter is
made entirely clear.
An ordinance authorizing the pay
ment of a bounty on certain wild ami
mails and destructive birds was passed.
The clerk was instructed to nego-
tiate with the telephone company for
the putting in of telephone at the
court house.

not thought that any one man ever
before filed such a heavy mortgage in

Sent to the Asylum and May Go to
the Pen.

Parowan, Utah, Jan. 24.-Judge Hig-
gins reconvened court here today, pur-
suant to the arrangement made VIXEN
he left here a week ago. No cases,
however, came TO trial and the session
was a short one.
The case of the State VS.. George Cor
ry, charged with assault with intent to
commit rape was dismissed on motion
of the prosecuting attorney, on his rep
resentation that the defendant had
been sent to the insane asylum upon
the Judgment of the court that he was
suffering from species of insanity
termed by the medical profession
ssuelancholia." The county attorney
very recently been arrested on a SINH
lar charge and would perhaps be tried
on that at the next term.
It was ascertained that the new case
referred to by the county at
torney occurred at Paragoonah
last Thursday. Young Cory was
employed TO haul some drum
mers around the country. They re-
manned at Paragoonah over night,
where this young man entered the resi-
dence OF Stephen Barton and insuited
two young girls of Barton's, but being
speedily elected went into another room
and made an assault upon another girl.
Her screams brought to her assistance
a young man occupying the same
house. Upon his appearance Cory
made his way out of the house, leaving
his whisky bottle and hat. He was
without a hat the next morning and
without whisky, and of course was
taken in as the culprit. His preliminary
hearing will be had the latter part of
this week. Young Corry's people live
in Cedar City and are a highly 1e-
spectacle family. Much sympathy is
expressed hereabouts for them by rea-
son of the repeated trouble and dis
grace this boy has brought upon them.
Judge Higgins leaves here today for
