California.
San Francisco, Nov. 5.-The politi-
cal campaign closed with a general
outlook \of more mixed character
than ever before known in the history

materially change the complexion of
the voting. Several counties hereto

a good majority for one side or the
other. From all indications large
vote will be cast all over the state.
