Gould is Said to Have Purchased the
Road

From surces that are seemingly

option on the Nevada Central rail-
way, running from Battle Mountain
to Austin. by means of which the
Goulds expect to strike into the rich
mineral belt of Southern Nevada, thus
affording them a shorter and more
direct route than that possessed by
the Southern Pacific Company says
the Gazette.
Several weeks ago it will be remem-
bered the owners of the Nevada Cen
trail announced that extensive im1
proyements were to be made on the
line. It was stated that heavied steel
would be laid, that many sharp curves
would be eliminated and that the roll

Now comes the story of the West
ern Pacific acquisition and there is
much to confirm it.

to Manhattan, Tonopah, Goldfi2i

the republican candidate made gains in
other counties this plurality may be cut
down. If not entirely wiped out.
Next to lieutenant governor the figures
at hand show that John 8. Whalen, the
democratic candidate for secretary of state,
may come through a winner by the closest
margin.
AS more complete returns began to come
in by counties today 1t was seen that in
some instances there was small, but con-
sistent lead by the lesser republican candi-
dates over the head of their ticket. This
fact served only to increase the uncertainty
regarding the result for the offices below

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN,.
Gillett Elected Governor and Hearst
Candidate Polls Light Vote.

IAN FRANCISCO. Cal, November t.
Never before in California have election re-
turns been counted so slowly. From all
parts Of the state come reports that the
count has been delayed. Cities ike Los An
geles. Oakland. Sacramento and others
where the count Is usually far advanced by
midnight sent in pitifully meager returns.
At o'clock this morning only $50 pre-
cincts out OF 2,471 had been heard from
These gave: Governor-GtDett, republican,
2.O21; Bell, democrat. 19.313; Langdon, in
dependence league, IL, 762.
Gillett carried San Francisco by 1915
votes over Bell. The total vote of the city
was: Gillett. 12,9O6: Bell, 1850; Langdon,
1852. The entire republican and union la
Dor legislative ticket In this city was elect
ed, with the election of r. French for SEN
ator. French was expelled from the last
state legislature and he sought vfndication.
Bell made a good showing in many of the
central counties and in some of the mining
centers. Langdon, who was Hearst's Inde-
pendence League candidate. polled very
light vote in the state, but in San Francisco
he polled a heavy vote. In the judgeship

The defeat OF Representative James w.
Wadsworth. chairman of the committee
on agriculture. and one Of the leading fig
ures of the House. followed one of the
most unique campaigns ever conducted in
the country.
His opponent was Peter A. Porter, a re-
publican, who began his contest as an in
dependent republican and then received the
Endorsements of the democrats and the
Independence League.
Porter was not long In the campaign be-
fore he appeared In the district astride of
a COW. announcing that his issue was the
beef trust and Wadsworth's opposition to
the meat inspection bill, and that he pro-
posed to make the cow the emblem of his
campaign. The COW and Porter were con-
stantly together, and In not few towns
Porter made his entrance into meetings
mounted on the emblem Of his campaign

MISSOURI DEMOCRATIC.

ST. LOUIS. November 7.-Missouri has
been redeemed to democracy Incomplete
returns Indicate that the democrats have
elected at least twelve and probably thir-
teen of the sixteen representatives, as COM
pared with the five democrats now sitting.
All OF the democratic state ticket is elected
by q plurality estimated at from 5000 to
$1,000. and the democrats will regain control
Of the state legislature by a good majority.
They already had control OF the senate, but
the republicans had large majority in the

fully loo. against a republican victory of
LOCO two years ago. This indicates the
election of Booher (dem) in the fourth con-
gressional district over Fulke-son.
Nearly every precinct In the state which
has been heard from shows a democratic
gain over two years ago. and many Of them
over 1900. when the banner democratic ma
1ority OF 5000 was rolled up. Members
of the grand jury and police commissioners
poifced the city yesterday In automobiles,
exercising constant vigilance to see that
the purity of the ballot was maintained.
From an investigation II was reported that
seventeen hundred names were fraudulently
entered upon the registration books These
were supplied to the judges OF election,
with instructions to call the police when any
of the repeaters appeared.
Notwithstanding returns from the state
are coming In with proyerblal hardness,
from what Is known the fact seems estab-
lished that Missouri has again returned to
the ranks Of democracy. Chairman Evans
of the democratic state committee holds to
the claim of a majority OF at least $1,000.
But until all the returns are in. especially
from the outlying districts In the southern
half OF Missouri, the result Is not conceded
at the republican state headQuarters.
