Last Tuesday was one of those peerless days, to be found only in Southern Californio, when all Nature is united to make perfection. The atmosphere was so clear that mountains sixty miles distance seemed but a tenth of that, while a sky free of clouds and a delightful temperture rendered the day all one could desire. The polls opened promptly at 6 o’clock, with J. R. Hill as inspector and George Neale and J.C. Bailey us judges. P. L. Judd and J. B. Manahan were appointed clerks. The first vote was cast by William Stone. He was followed closely by others and at 8 o’clodk a large share of the vote bad been polled. All was quiet through the day, Coronadaue conducting themselves as becomes Intelligent citizens. A large number of workers were on the ground looking after the Interests of their friends who were candidates as well as laboring for the Read of the tickets. Very little scratching was done, and that was so scattering that the relative strength -of the candidates was about the same at the close of the polls. Dodge ran ahead of his ticket by about twenty votes. Some of the local candidates were aleo ahead of tholr party by the hard work of their friends. * At 7 o’clock the poll were closed, F. L. Judd, one of .the clerks, casting what was probably the last ballot deposited in the Cnited States at this election. The counting began at once, and in a short time the approximate strength of the two parties was ascertained, after which but little interest was manifested by any one but the election board. The work of counting the votes was not completed until nearly 6 o’clock In the morning. The result Is given below, the prohibition vote for President, Chief Justice and Assemblyman only being given.
