l 9OS Broadway, Nov g. | Alameda County will not part with the State Republican banner this year. While | her majority will not be so great as it
 gave President Mckinley, 1t is larger l than that of any other county in the l State.
 l Never was a Republican victory so 1 gratifying to the respectable element or Alameda County as that which has land l ed Henry T. Gage in the Governors chair | It is a flat repudiation and denial ofall the | falsehoods, epithets, insinuations and in 1 suits that have been hurled at the voters of this county by the fus1onlsts TOT the | past three months. It is vindicatlon or | the party integrity that prevailed at the 1 State and county Republican conventions It is a slap in the face to those 1ll-ad- ! yised calamity howlers who have been i forever crying slate" boss or any | other term which could relieve thelr | jealousy and spleen. 1,. success is a Vindicat1on Of the honor anu manhood of the thousands who derive their living from the railroad company. The lie that these citizens, among the i very best in the county, can be herded at election times and made to vote as tnelr employers dictate IS exploded py the very arguments used by the fusionists. In thelr final howl they declared that all the cor porations had issued orders to defeat the Republican nominee for Assessor, Henry P Dalton. Now that the votes are in this falsehood is best repudlated py the [ poIied the largest majority of any cand1- date on the county ticket
 In this county the issues were hatred, malice. satire, indeceney, hypocrisy and egotism on one side; decency, logic, non esty, fearlessness and candor on the other side-and the latter won- From railroad employees, to the Tesla coal mines where hundreds of black-handed but White-hearted miners tunnel In the bowels of the earth, the principles of Mcguire have been repudiated, and Ala meqa's thousands Of worklngmen voted in accordance with their best interests.
 This feeling permeated the Congress SiOnal, Legislative and county tlcket. Tn the next Legislature Alameda,s six As pubIicans. In the next Congress this dis trict will be represented by Republican. The county government rests with the Republicans. It is true there has been break in the county ticket, which IS en- tirely due to an error made at the San stated at the time in The Call as being likely to defeat one or two candidates. It has defeated two. The nomlnau9ns for were both given to Berkeley candidates. From Washington Township came one of county, Henry Lynch. His solid dele gation asked that he be put upon the ticket for Superintendent of Schools. This request, reasonable as. 1t was, was not granted, owing to the fact that the larger Berkeley delegation had made deal with other candidates. MT. Lynch was left off, and both of the Berkeley candidates, MT. Spear for Recorder and MT. Waterman for School Superintendent, have been de- feated. MT. Grim, the next Recorder, is a Republican, but made an independent campaign when he saw that he could not Being a resident of Berkeley. his attitude helped largely to defeat the two candi- dates of the college town.
 It is also gratifying to note that the Re publican party in Alameda County can come together solidlys yy,. even after b bitter majority Victor H.. Metcalf for Congress. The bitterest fac tional struggle this county has eyer seen the nomination for Congress. After the primary, however, unanimity again en- tered the party ranks @ ana MT. MetcaIi yesterday ran probably 5000 votes ahead of
 The vote of this county also repudiates the falsehoods of the fusionists regarding the alleged stuffing of the great register, said great register being the work of a Republican County Clerk. It was stated day that there were nearly ten thousand suffers of the great register. Any or sand names were all duplicated, being merely transfers, cancellations or new registratioeps compiled in special supple feel justified in ordering an entire new register, Clerk Jordan compiled such a perfect one but two years ago. The. refu- tation of this campaign calumny is the county's vote, which is exactly the same | as rf. four years ago, namely 29OoQ;
 
 claimed that the fact that the 10000 inn | aginary suffers did not vote was entirely 1 due to the vigilance of Chairman Tarpey | of the County Union Committee. It was | due to the fact that these 10000 names | had no existence and that the Republican Board of Supervisors appointed such rep 1 utable boards of election officers that no evil-minded person could violate the in- | tegrity of the ballot. Assumption of vir- | tue, however, is the least of the vices | practiced by the fusionists in this cam paign..
 Hereafter, 1t Is evident, the people of Alameda County will pay less attention than they have in the past to the reports of grand juries when 1t is more than sus- pected that such reports are impregnated with the flavor of politics. The last Grand Jury report, which was supposed to rep resent the costly result of ten months labor, complimented Supervisor Church in one place and then devoted large sections toward heaping obloquy and humiliation on him and Supervisor Talcott This re- port was taken up by the fusionistS and made the subject of foundationleSS and bitter attacks on the Republican Super viSorS who were candidates for re-e. .ec- ] tion. These attacks have been repudtated in the most decisive manner by intelligent voters at the polls. The height of absurd l ity and falsity was reached when honest honest political manipulator, false to his trust and unfit to hold office. Day after day he was held up as man to be avoid ed and as one to be kept as far away from the county treasury as possible lie now enjoys the satisfaction of knowing that he has been reelected by a handsome ma jority over his oponent
 Supervisor Church was also subjected to far more bitter denunciation than ldr. Talcott This opposition apparently helped to re-elect him, and MeS5rS. Church and Talcott will hold their seats for another
 Alameda County during the past twen- ty-four hours has definitely reasserted her Halff
