Show CALIF0ENI4 ELECTIOK. Our news from the California election elec-tion rontinui-s meagro, and that fact piuvcs that matters have been sulli-eienlly sulli-eienlly mixeil there to disarrange the I ealrulations of the fHjliticiaiw, who are oft'-n able to figure clse enough I on the eve of an election certainly ' the day aft-T U fpeak with n.nti-I n.nti-I d''in-e as to the viet-irious party. (Air sp.-.-ial n'ixrt from .San Fran'-i.-i''0 this morning indicates tliat the railroad rail-road party has leen d'-feab-l; but we are in doubt an to whether the nih party or the DeinocraL-i projK-r have nirricl the State. If thrre has been a majority of members returned to tin1 Stale Lrgi.-latnro who favor lotb, it will he a most unexpected tli-ft-at to his nppmenU; and will establish es-tablish two things, as well: One, the rat pmver which the Sacramento fnion wields in a political fight in that Suite; for the '''"" with the Ili'llrtin and Coll )ractically fought this battle tor liooui, aiaai, 01 course, by the influential men who sustain, the Governor; and another, that there is a wide-spread fear among the people peo-ple of the growing power of the Central Cen-tral J'aciiic railroad company. Whether that fear is a legitimate one we need not now stop to discuss; but if the Booth wing has carried the Shite against the railroad influence, influ-ence, tho frien'ls ot Gorham, the straight liepunucans, ami uie uwnv-crats, uwnv-crats, it has developed ft most uncx-! pected degree of strength. It is more than likely that the Democrats Dem-ocrats have been victorious, and this by the split in the Republican party on Suite matters. Bo that as it may, a day or two will bring certainty, and give data to speculate on as to who will next fill the seat now occupied by Casserly in the United States Senate. |
