In Sacramento the republicans
made a clean sweep, beating the demo
crats and worklngmen.
In Oakland the workingmen carry
the mayor, for two councilmen and
one school director. The citizens
make a clean sweep of all other
officers.
The firm of Koehler & Hitter,
manufacturing jewlcrs, San Francisco,
lias been attached. A receiver has
been placed in charge. The attaching
parties believe that the failure
is brought about by natural causes.
The failure will affect no small firms.
A disastrous fire broke out at Ash
land on the 11th, at 4 o'clock in the
morning, originating in a blacksmith
shop. The fire was so far under way
when discovered as to baffle all atempts
to check it until every building
on the west side of Main street
to the bridge on the north was
swept away and the flames had
reached the fire-proo: brick building
of J. V. McCall on the south, where
the fire was got under control, after
destroying the false roof of that build
ing. The loss is estimated at $26,000.
The Tidings office was among the
buildings totally destroyed.

A Washington democratic corres
pondent has the following, and he is
not alone in his opiniens: "The mo
tives of the administration in calling
an extra session as early as March 18th,
are interesting enough to make it
worth while that they should be plain
ly understood. They concern an in
genious combination, fathered by Gar-
field, for giving the speakership either
to Garfield himself or to Kelly, accord
ing as the White-house may or may
not succeed in commanding the con
fidence of the greenback people in the
new congress. The president has
been induced by Garfield to believe
that by calling congress together on
March 18th the administration will be
enabled to prevent the democrats
from organizing their own house.
