messages by wire and long distance
phone throughout the day. He made
two tabulations. one representing the
returns from county committeeman

OF the house, and the other. which he
termed the desperation sheet" gave

calities from which the Republican
managers had not received positive in

GILLETT'S SAFE PLURALITY.
After consulting the tabulations of
the desperation sheet the chairman
Informed the throng Of candidates in the
room that Gillett's plurality could not
be hammered down below the 5000
mark. The actual plurality for Gillett
was placed at 5000. Later in the day
authentic reports came which disclosed
the fact that the Bell ringers were
claiming greater pluralities in Colusa,
Tulsre and Sacramento counties than
the semi-ofhcial returns justified.
The Republicans, according TO figures
received at the headquarters OF the
party. elect six Of the nine candidates
for Justices Of the Courts of Appeal.
In the southern or Los Angeles district
Justices Allen. Shaw and Taggart. Re-
publicans. win In the central or san
Francisco district Hall. Republican, and
Cooper and Dooling. Democrats. are
elected. The election Of these two
Democrats defeats Cook and Kerrigan.
In the northern or Sacramento district
Hart and Burnett, Republicans, and
Hughes, Democrat, are winners Hughes
pulls through by reason of tremen-
dous majority in Sacramento County.
This majority is 70 General y. P. Chip
mans disadvantage. Burnett goes on
the winning list by reason Of a pro-
digious vote in Sonona County in his
favor. Mclaughlin suffers by reason
Of the prepondersnce Of the Burnett
vote in santa Rosa.
While the defeat Of Judge John Hos
ner for the Superior Court Of this city
and county is regretted by bench and
bar and the better element OF San
Francisco. the coming reformation of
san Francisco is forecasted in an
analysis OF the vote that placed his op-
ponent, Police Judge Mogan, on the
Superior bench. IN the hotbeds Of the
push and in the burned district, where
cOlOnizing was the common practice
and the stUf1ng Of the register the rule
the hardest blows were dealt TO Judge
Hosmer. and il is safe to assume that
had the name Of every man that voted
II the burned district that was not
legitimate resident thereof been elimi-
mated from the roll, Judge Hosmer
would have been returnd to the Office
he has filled with signal honor.
VICTORY OF REPUBLICANS.
Early in the day reports from the Sac
rsmento Valley caused some uneasiness
on the part Of Congressman Duncan Nc
Kinlay, Republican candidate in the Sec
ond District. His opponent. Beard. was
credited with tremendous majorities in
Coluss and Sacramento counties. Sub
seouent returns made il clear that
Beard was running far behind Bell.
with Mckinlay considerably in advance
of the head Of the Republican ticket.
The Legislature is Republican in both
branches, but gains Of a bipartisan
character are reported from the south.
