and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi

whereby the good health has been at

that so much is heard in praise of Elec

their restoration to health to the. use of

San Francisco, Nov. 8. The latest
returns from the interior of the state
do not materially alter the vote, and
so few precincts still remain to be

the count is completed.
The republican candidates on the
state ticket have won by majorities of
10,000. The republicans have prob
ably all the congressional districts, but
it is thought that in the First and
Second districts the result is so close
that it will be imposible to tell who is
elected until tho returns are completed.
