Never in a Pres election has there been such a demonstration of popular feel- ing. The t ripples were obser ble early this morning, when farmers from all over the county began to drive in with their famil and make prep. arations to for *the big meeting They were not old Repub- lone; old-line Dem- to-nig lican wheel hor were oc hear and cheer the Republi ard bearer.

For nearly two minutes Mr. Gage stood bowing his appreciation and unabie to proceed. Mr. Gage began his speech after the most exucung day's work of the ardu- ous campuign; yet his powers of en- durance were equal to the emergency. His voice, too, had the penetrating power of reaching the people who stood in the pavilion at points far removed romn the stage. He spoke for one hour and heid the close attention of his au- dience threughout. Here as elsewhere his sincerity and. straightforwardness gained him the respect of the audience. He reviewed the record of Maguire on Lie raiiroad scitiement and convinced hearers that the “Little Giant” was ouuig rairoad” to.divert public no- tice trom the odious single tax. The | Congressionai Reec s produced to n the statements regarding Ma- s atutude in Congri Applause tong continued told how etfectively the case was presented to the people by the Republican ndard bearer. Un the subject of single tax Mr. Gage presented the points in_a concise and comp :nsive manner. The application of the :me to the miner as well as the farr was explained. In clusing his address Mr. Gage, in the frank and manly style which com- mends him to the people everywhere, spoke of what he shouid do or not do if elected Governor. The pledge of a clean, honest, economical, businesslike n elicited from the audi- proving cheers. His own atti- tude toward the Southern Pacific cor: poration was mentioned, and the fact reiterated that he had never been em- ployed as coun by the corporation, although his ces had been fre- quently sclicit "Republican _Glee Club The StocKton entertained the audience with a song.

Bursting bombs and cheers from the densely thronged street greeted the first portion of the procession, but when | the carriage . ntaining Mr. Gage came | into sight there was wild enthusiasm. The affair no more resembled the re- ception ac ded Judge Maguire last Monday iing than day resemble night. At the agricultural pavilion where the meeting was held the speakers had been moved to the north wing in order to increase the acoustic proper- ties The pavilion w decorated in the national colors and se had been ar- ranged In such a systematic order that the first 700 people to arrive did not have any diffictlty in finding seats and 2000 more found improvised seats or stood far out on the outskirts of the mighty throng. The following well-known citizens, in- | cluding several Democrats, took their places on the stage as vice presidents of the meeting: N. B. Sperry, H. B. Bishop, G. Alegretti, T». Musto, H. M.

The Senator embellished his admir- able address with stories to the point, and kept the audtence in a happy frame of mind. Phe great audience adjourned with mighty cheers for Gage and Neff. Republicans are confident that their ticket will triumph in San Joaquin Coun The success of to-night’s demonstration gives them renewed zeal. Hon. BE. F. Preston has finished his speaking tour of the San Joaquin Val- ley. Immediately on the arrival of the train from Oakdale this afternoon he started for his home. Henry T. Gage will get a few hours’ rest before star ing on his trip to Angels Camp, San Andreas and Jackson. The tour of the San Joaquin Valley. which culminated in the enthusiastic and immense outpouring to-night in Stockton, was remarkable throughout. Never were greater audiences assem- bled in Celifornia to hear political questions discussed, and never were Republicans of sound judgment more confident of overwhelming success than they are to-night. METCALF’S MAJORITY WILL BE A LARGE ONE Never Before Has a Candidate Been So Enthusiastically Received in Solano. SUTS Oct. 15.—Tt is generally con- ceded that Victor H. Metcalf, the Repub- lcan nominee for Congress in the Third District, will Toll up a larger majority than was ever before given to a candidate in Solano County. His reception through- out the county have never been equaled in enthusiasm and unanimity of public sentiment favoring a nomiinee's election. He has not only made a favorable impres- sion personally, but his able and thought- ful speeches have inspired confidence that in Metcalf the constituency will have a representative at once conscientious and mindful of its varied interest, especially in the matter of river improvements. Mr. Metcalf was given a rousing recep- tion in Rio Vista this evening. He was followed in his address by Frank B. Kelly of San Francisco, who jn his advocacy of Gage's candidacy elicited hearyt cheers, J. H. Gardiner presided and campaign music was rendered by the Sulsun brass and. S PO Meetings in Mendocino. MENDOCINO, Oct. 15—Hon. J. T. Dare, J. M. Oliver and A.

Demonstrations That Throw Into the Shade Those Made in Welcome of the weader of the Con- fusionists. Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Oct. 15. -The tour to- day of Gage and Preston through Stan- islaus County was a series of remark- able popular uprisings unsurpassed in the history of California political cam- paigns. Here in the San Joaquin Val- ley, on the banks of the Stanislaus and Tuolumne, the ovation in honor of Henry T. Gage, the Republican stan- dard-bearer, excel in many features the | ralli south of Tehachapi, which struck dismay to the fusion leaders. Gage and Preston arose in Merced at dawn this morning and boarded the early northbound train for Modesto, the county seat of Stanislaus County. A delegation from Modesto met the speakers and welcomed them to Stanis- laus County. As early as 9 o'clock in the morning people began to wend their way to the | hall, where the speaking was to begin at 10 o'clock. Promptly at the latter hour Mr. Gage and Mr. Preston went | to the platform. Their appearance was | greeted with intense applause. The spacious hall, capable of holding 1000 people, was densely packed at this early hour. The meeting was called to or- der by T. E. Brice, who introduced as chairman C. R. Tillson. Tremendous applause followed the in- troduction. When it subsided Mr. Gage thanked the people of Modesto for the reception and spoke of the remarkable demonstration at that hour of the day. He did not accept the ovation as one for himself, but remarked that the ar- dor of the people was due to their de- votion to the principles of the party of which he was a humble representa- tive. As the time was limited, Mr. Gage made but a short address. He spoke of the great enthusiasm for the Repub- lican ticket as exemplified in the meet- ings throughout the San Joaquin Val- ley, in_the counties of Kern, Tulare, Kings, Madera, Fresno and Merced. He predicted for the Republican cause the greatest triumph ever achieved in Cal- ifornia. . Hon. E. F. Preston received an enthu siastic greeting from the cheering mul- titude. He spoke with earnest force, invoking the admiration of his listen- ers for the courage of his expressions. There was no juggling with words in Mr. Preston’s address. He denounced the calumny that the Valley road had joined the monopoly as a campaign lie. Judge Maguire's promise, made when he withdrew from the Democratic party, to devote his life to the service of single tax was taken u~. Maguire's career as a salary-getting agitator was reviewed. Maguire's advocacy of the infamous single tax doctrine while drawing the salary of a Congressman was characterized as shameful. Before the remarkable early hour as- semblage adjourned a delegation con- isting of R. K. Thomas, A. S. Emery, G. W. Dunlap and George McCabe ar- rived from Oakdale to escort Gage and Preston in carriages across the beauti- ful country to that thriving town fif- teen miles distant. After a hasty luncheon the line of carriages for Oak- dale was formed. The distance was covered in oneé hour and a half. Rapid movements were necessary in order to give the people of Oakdale a chance to see their next Governor and afford him time to catch the train from Oakdale to Stockton. The ringing cheers of Modesto Re- publicans had hardly subsided when the saluting shouts of the Oakdale pop- ulace began. Two miles from Oakdale Mr. Gage and his escorts were wel- comed by a vast procession of men, women and children from the town. A column of mounted men, marshaled by W. H. Rea and A. E. H. Meyer, headed the long procession of vehicles. The caravan made a great cloud of dust, but a breeze from the north blew the dust aside and disclosed to view the column a half mile in length. Again the bands played and the anvils sent forth a welcome as the man of the people and the standard-bearer of the Republican hosts entered the town of Oakdale. Without delay the procession, which was ably managed, moved to the pa- vilion. When Gage and Preston arrived more than 1000 people had assembled to hear them speak. The celebrated Mo- desto Glee Club made the trip across country and delighted the Oakdale audience. The meeting was called to order by George McCabe, who presented R. K. Thomas as chairman. The following named vice presidents were announced: A. 8. Emery, R. Thompson, J. M. Owen, John Connor, Oakdale; C. D. Swan, Montpelier; J. W. Allard, 1. H. ‘Watson and H. R. Schell, Knights Ferry; L. L. Dennett and A. A. Wood, Modesto. Henry T. Gage was introduced by Mr. Thomas as a man of the plain peo- ple who had gained his way in life by struggles with toil and poverty. As Mr. Gage stepped forward, the tumults of applause made the pavilion tremble. The speech of the standard bearer was brief, following the line of comment at the Modesto demonstration. Colonel Preston’s speech also was short and incisive. He aroused the multitude to a high degree of enthusiasm with his forcible and clear-cut style of calling things by their right names. He spoke with watch in hand, in order to note the time and not miss the train for Stockton. Gage and Preston were followed to the depot by many people. As the train moved out the cheers for Gage and Neff were mighty. At Farmington, in San Joaquin Coun- ty, where the Stockton committee boarded the train to meet Mr. Gage, a large crowd was assembled at the sta- tion. In response to the cheers Mr. Gage went to the platform and ac- | knowledged the compliment. So ended an eventful day for the courageous and dauntless Republicans | of Stanislaus County. | Advances made on furniture and planos, with or without removal. J.

Want the Assurance That the Elec- tion of a Republican Legislature ‘Will Not Be a Victory for De Young. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Oct. 15—Edward M. Piercy, ¢ne of the most prominent mid- dle-of-the-road Populists of the State | and well-known capitalist of this city, | has just returned from an extended trip | through the central part of the State, | during which he made it a point to| question voters of his faith in regard to | how they stood on State and legislative tickets. The counties of San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito, San | Luis Obispo, Kings, Solano, Sonoma, | San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Alameda | were visited and from five to eight days spent in each. Piercy says the middle- | of-the-roadsters are solidly arrayed | against M. H. de Young for United| States Senator. Since the ruling has | been made that they are not to have a | place on the State ticket they have been | gradually going over to the Republican | legislative ticket. In fact the straight| Populists are about two to one for the Republican legislative ticket, but Lhu,y{ must have an assurance that De Youug United States | stands no chance for Senator before election day. If the Re- publican State Committee will give them such a pledge they will vote al- most solidly for the legiglative tickets in their various counties. The middle-of-the-roadsters denounce De Young as a railroad man and point | out that his paper, the Chronicle, has | aiways been on the side of the Southern | Pacific and other corporations. The‘ “director general’” is dencunced as to- tally unfit, mentally and morally, for| the high position and is classed as al blackmailer. Piercy says he heard General Barnes| frequently mentioned as a good man for | United States Senator. The farmers do not bear the same ill will toward Barnes that they do toward De Young, and would be willing to accept him for | United States Senator. | Piercy was a delegate to the Omaha national convention of the Populist party aud has been a delegate to all| California State conventions of the| Populists. | E.

Are Russell J. Waters Makes a Canvass | Which Shows That the State Ticket Is Bound to Be Successful. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15.—Russell J. | ‘Waters, Republican nominee for Con- gress, has now completed his first can- vass of every county of the Sixth Con- gressional District, which includes the counties of Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles. Mr. Waters, in con- versation with a Call representative, said: “Judging from what I have seen and heard I would say that Henry Gage and the Republican State ticket will carry every county in the Sixth Con- gressional District, save that of San Luis Obispo, which will probably go for Maguire by a majority of not over 200. “Everywhere I find that there is a pronounced sentiment among old-line Democrats against the fusion arrange- ment. These Democrats feel as though they could not support the so-called triple alliance this year because they want the Democratic party back in its original position of standing upon its own foundation without being com- pelled to carry as a handicap the Popu- list and Silver Republican parties. “They claim that if the Silver Repub- licans and Populists believe as Democrats do in point of principle the thing for them to do is to come over into that party. If they do not believe in the principles of the Democratic party, then why should they desire to fuse with the party and take half the offices? This is the argument used by the old-time Democrats against fusion. They figure that they can best put an end to fusion in the future, once and for all, by defeating the fusion ticket this year. “To illustrate the great change that has taken place in the politics of the upper counties of the Sixth Congres- slonal District I have merely to cite Cambria Precinct, in San Luls Obispo County. This precinct casts 201 votes. The Republican Club there has a mem- bership on its roll of 166 signatures, and 43 of these 166 voted the Populist ticket two years ago. “At the meeting held at Hueneme, in Ventura County, three of the vice presidents were old-line Democrats | who had left their party on account of | fusion. “Then, again, I found quite a sprink- ling of middle-of-the-road Populists who intend to support the Republican ticket this year in order to defeat fur- ther fusion of their party with the Democrats, which policy, if continued, will result in the total extinction of their organization as a separate entity.” Will A. Harris has accompanied Mr. ‘Waters on his Congressional campaign tour, and he states that Mr. Barlow, the Populist nominee, is going to be defeated by 3000 votes at a minimum. In Mr. Harris’ judgment the only one of the six counties in the district Barlow has any prospect of carrying is San Luis Obispo County. This is Mr. Bar- low’s home, and he has a prospect of carrying it i | ticket and the platform. SILVER AN I3SUE SAYS THE JUDGE Maguire Argues for the White Metal.

Maguire arrived in this city from Galt this evening and was escort- ed to the old pavilion by the local Dem- ocratie clubs. blage of probably 2500 peopls, the hall being crowded. D. W. Carmichacl was chosen chairman. Maguire declared the present cam- paign to be a gigantic battle between Jeffersonian principl For years, he said, the followers of Jef- ferson and Lincoln had stood on com- mon ground ar” this ground rights to all, specitl privileges to none.” Of late, Marcus A. Hanna had arisen, | and the motto which he and his kind followed was, “A government of mo- nopoly, by monopoly and for monop- oly.” He said he believed that the per- | petllitv of free institutions depended upon the triumph of Jeffersonian prin- | ciples. The battle was on between the followers of Jefferson and Lincoln and the followers of Hanna. Considerable time was given to a dis- cussion of the silver question, which Maguire characterized as a living issue, despite the fact that Gage, in his Los Angeles speech, had declared it dead. The question he said, was not only alive, but would continue to be intense- 1y so until it was finally settled and the constitution obeyed. He predicted that it would be a paramount issue in 1900, and that Willlam J. Bryan would be the standard bearer of the national reform forces. The last half of his address was given up to a scathing criticism of what he said was an attempt on the part of the railroad to manage the campaign in its own interests. He insinuated that the nominees on the Republican ticket had been placed there by the Southern Pa- cific Company. In support of this he referred to the fact that the San Fran- cisco Call, prior to the meeting of the Republican State convention, published in full the ticket which was subse- quently nominated. He denied a claim which he said The Call had made that this ticket had been gathered by re- porters who had interviewed delegates to the convention, saying that any re- He addressed an assem- | and monopoly. | ‘“‘equal | ADVEBRTISEMENTS.

The hall in which the meet- ing was held was packed to overflowing and many persons were compelled to stand outside. Maguire in the course of his speech took occasion to highly praise the work done by Congressman Marion de Vries, candidate for re- election in this district. In speaking of his own candidacy Maguire said that his opponent had referred to him as continually clearing out his throat on account of hoarseness. Maguire ac- knowledged that he was a little hoarse, but said that he had become that way through doing his own talking, whereas his opponent was wearing out the throats of Southern Pacific attorneys. He dwelt at length on the war and safd there had been a disgraceful condition of affairs in the soldiers’ camps. If the Republican party wanted to take unto itself all the glory of the war it should also be willing to bear the odium of this disgrace. He spoke at considerable length of the fundinggbill and the do- mestic regulation of railroad freights anad fares. Outdoor Meeting at Ione. IONE, Oct. 15.—Hon. James G. Ma- guire addressed an outdoor meeting of several hundred people at this place to-day. The meeting began at 10 o’clock this morning and Maguire spoke but a half hour owing to the fact that he had to drive 25 miles to Galt, where he held a meeting this afternoon. He touched upon the different issues of the campaign generally, his limited time not being sufficient to enable him to enter into an extensive discussion of the questions. Mr. Maguire was fol- lowed by E. L. Hutchison, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, who is ac- companying him upon his campaign tour. NEFF ADDRESSES SAN RAFAEL REPUBLICANS Candidate for Lieutenant Governor Welcomea by an Enthusiastic Multitude. SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 15—~The Repub- llcan campaign in Marin County was opened to-night by a large and enthusi- astic meeting at the opera-house, which was addressed by Hon. Jacob Neff, can- didate for Lieutenant Governor, Judge Van Duser and Hon. D. E. McKinlay. The party drove over from San Quentin, where it had been Warden Hale's est during the day, and was received i“ a committee composed of ex-Mayor - Carthy, Judge Pricer, W. C. Brown, S. P, Olmsted and Robert Furlong. Preceded by the San Rafael band the party drove up Fourth street, which was illuminated by bonfires, to the opera-house. The route was lined by a multitude of peo- le who rent the air with applause. ockets, Roman candles and Greek fire turned night into day. Mr. Neff was introduced by Chairman McCarthy. to the point. He said the Republican convention at Sacramento was in no wise controlled by the SoutHern Pacific, and that this charge had grown threadbare. The party stood for good, pure prin- nlfles, and in the end would surely triumph.” Above all, he deprecated the charge that the Republican party was trying to gain presuge by claiming all the honor of the war with Spain. As for per- sonal assaults, he never made them, and wcfl:ld refuse to notice any aimed at him- self. Judge Van Duser spoke at len; evils %f Maguireism.

HIS TICKET IN DISFAVOR GOOD GOVERNMENT LEAGUE'S SPLENDID FIGHT. Enthusiastic Meetings Held in the Agricultural and Horticultural Districts of the County. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Oct. 16.—The Republican Good Government League is making a winning fight against the county ticket nominated by the Rea convention. The county has already been pretty well canvassed, and much substantial en- couragement received. In the agricul- tural and horticultural districts the people are opposed to Rea's interfer- ence In county affairs, and they will give the Good Government ticket a good majority. At the same time the league is making a hard fight for Gage and the legislative ticket. Wherever meetings have been held there has been good attendance and great enthusiasm. The people now realize that boss rule is the cause of increased taxation. Newcomers in search of homes are driven from Santa Clara County because of the corruption in county affairs and the unenviable political reputation the county bears. There was an unusually large meet- ing at Morgan Hill on Thursday night. The hall was not large enough to ac- commodate the people. This is in the First Supervisorial District, Where “Boss"” Rea is making a fight to re-elect his brother to the Board of Supervisors. An equally enthusiastic meeting was held at Moreland on Tuesday night. These meetings serve to show how the Good Government people are being re- ceived throughout the county. The campaign against the gangsters in this city will be opened on Monday night by a joint mass meeting at the Auditorium under the auspices of (ne Republican Good Government League and the Democratic County Central Committee. The meeting will be called together by E. A. Hayes, president of the Good Government League, and J. H. Henry, chairman of the Democratic County Central Committee, will pre- side as chairman. The meeting will be an interesting one and the shady side of politics will be exposed. Ju(;fe J. R. Lewis, Nicholas Bowden, J. H. Days and J. H.
