Clayes, of San Joaquin, state printer ; Hough ton, of Solano, surveyor-general; Charles Tavlor, of San Francisco, harbor commis- sioner ; and for congressmen, Thomas Shannon, of Plumas; William Higby, of Calaveras ; and Cornelius Cole, of Santa Cruz.

Cole was the only spontaneous choice of the convention.

All the elect were firm union and war men.

The election of the union candidates was a foregone conclusion from the first, but the copperheads ran a ticket at the head of which were several well-known politicians, John Downey for gov ernor; McKinstry, for lieutenant-governor; John Weller, John Bigler, and Whitesides, for congressmen ; and Beriah Brown, for state printer.

The majority of Low over Downey was 19,- 831, and for Machin over McKinstry 21,120 The curiosity of the election was the bolting of the inde pendent unionists of San Francisco city and county, who made up their own legislative ticket, and elected two to one of San Francisco s delegation without in jury to the union state ticket.
