GAGE ADDRESSES NINE IMMENSE GATHERINGS With Charles L Patton and Others He Is Given Gree an Enthusiastic ting. BIG bonfire on the corner of Fillmore A and Pine streets last evening at- tracted & crowd of over a thousand of the citizens of the Western Addition to Franklin Hall, where they were ad- dressed by Henry T. Gage, Hugene F. Loud and nearly all of the ecandidates on the municipal ticket. The audience was as enthuslastic and as representative as any that has gathered to applaud party favorites thus far in the campalgn. Henry T. Gage and Charles L. Patton were tendered an ovation that was re- markable even among the many rousing receptions that have been extended to them since they began their fight, and | though neither gentleman spoke at length | they spoke to the point and their audience demonstrated its satisfaction in round after round of wild appla an, introduced G. R. Fletcher, as chair John B. Carson, candidate for the Supe- rior Bench, as the first speaker of the evening. Mr. Carson observed judicial | dignity to the extent that he ignored his | own case and appealed to his hearers for | support of the whole Republican ticket. | He urged that the voters of the State should send a solid delegation to Congress | and elect a Republican Leglislature in order that President McKinley might not lack the support that he will need in fur- thering the splendid plans that he has for the future welfare of this country. Mr. Carson was followed by John D. Siebe, who found that he was just as pop- The few words spoken by Mr. Gage were well received. He apologized for the brev- ity of his remarks by saying that he had nine more meetings to attend during the evening. Attorney General W, F. Fitzgerald, nominee for City and County Attorney, was the next speaker. He met with equally as warm a reception as was ac- corded the nominee for Governor. In ths course of his remarks he paid a warm tribute to C. 8. Laumeister, nominee for Railroad Commissioner. * His election to the office he sought was assured, and when he reached there the people would | be fairly dealt with by the rallroad com- pany. His record as Sheriff for four years was such as to justify the people in again placing him in office. The Republican platform and the nominees placed before the people by that party was without ex- ception the best that was ever placed be- fore any constituency. He felt assured of the elegtion of the entire ticket. (Ap- plause)) The meeting was addressed by Colonel J. H. Roberts, W. J. Martin, W. J. Her- rin, Charles L. Patton, Henry S. Martin, F. M. Galvin, A. de la Torre and others. sl MEN OF THE 'o8 CLUB CHEER GAGE ular in the Western Addition as he is in | the other sections that he has canvassed. | Congressman Eugene F. Loud took Mr. Siebe’s place on the rostrum and roundly denounced the course that has been pur-| ued by James G. Maguire and his sup- | porters during the campaign. Mr. Ma-| guire's career in Congress he laid before Ifs hearers without any of the garlands | that James G. Maguire makes use of In | telling it, and to the fusion nominee's action on the funding bill he pald par- | ticular attention. | “My record,” he said, “is clear to any | one who will read it, apd I shall not | stoop to defend myself against any cur who is ashamed to sign his name to his | lies.” Mr. Loud would have dealt further with | the Democratic rootback but for the ar-| rival of Charles L. Patton, who had some difficulty in making his way through the crowd that had gathered to greet him. He finally reached the stage, and he was followed by genial Henry Martin, who | had even more difficulty in breaking in. | Mr. Patton promised that if elected he would guarantee the dollar limit of taxa- | tion and run the municipal business on an economical basis, and with assurances of victory left for other meetings. | Mr. Gage's arrival had been practically | given up, but a roar from out in the street, that was carried up the stairway | and into the hall itself, anounced that| the party’s standard bearer had arrived. | Cheers burst from a thousand throats | as the Governor-to-be entered the hall | and with a good deal of hard work made | his way to the platform. Mr. Gage did not deal with party issues or allude in | any way to his opponent. He had come, he said, to make the acquaintance of his audience and assure them that victory | was to roost on the Republican standard | afier the coming battle. He said that | there were eight other meetings that he | was obliged to attend, and that if his audience would permit, he and his friends | The closing rally of the '98 Republican Club for this campaign was held last night in Cadets' Hall, 335 McAllister street. George D, O'Neill acted as chair- man In the absence of the president. Many candidates were represented by proxies, men who spoke not only for them but for the entire Republican tlcket. Archie Campbell, the rising young attor- ney, was the first speaker. He read a letter signed by the representative men of the legal profession, recommending the tandidacy of A. B. Treadwell for Police Judge. -Mr. Campbell also spoke for Henry T. Gage for Governor and for Charles L. Patton for Mayor. Edgar Briggs championed the cause of John D. Siebe, Republican nominée for Assessor. James E. Fields commended Charles L. Patton ecially to the voters. He spoke of him as & capable, honest man from the ground up. Every man on the Republi- can ticket, he sald, was good and would render good services to the people if elected. Clarence Gray acted as sponsor for J. G. Edwards, candidate for State Board of | Bqualization. Alexander W. McPherson spoke strongly for the Republican standard bearer and all the men on the ticket. Henry T. Gage arrived late, but this did not dampen the ardor.of the Republicans. He remained with them a few minutes nd departed with cheers for his success and for the success of Charles L. Patton ringing in his ear: IR IR GAGE HAS WON THE MEN WHO OPPOSED HIM Henry T. Gage appeared in the Thirty- sixth Assgembly District last night at Du- veneck’s Hall, corner of Twenty-fourth THOUSANDS RA THE N celved and discussed the issues in.the mu- nicipal fight. He was followed by I J. Truman, William A. Deane and Hon. My- ron E. Wolf. H. J. Riggins acted as chair- man.

His en- trance into the hall was the event of the evening. The crowd rgse to its feet and for fully five minutes cheered for the next Governor of California. During this ap- plause Mr. Gage stood on the platform bowing his acknowledgments to the crowd, but they would not desist from ex- pressing their approval of the great stan- dard ‘bearer of the Republican party, so he . was-obliged to wait until the demon- stration had subsided. When quiet was finally restored Mr. Gage thanked the ‘crowd for its kind and hearty reception. He-sald’ that he was not present to dis- cuss the issues of the campaign, as every one was famillar with the platform -on which he stood. This provoked great cheering.

The Judge then explained his position in the Wallace Grand Jury case to the satisfaction of all. John D. Siebe was them introduced and he made one of his characteristic speeches, winning loud applause. Jist at the conclusion of Siebe’s speech Charles L. Patton entered the hall and then the audience turned loose. The people arose in their seats and cheered for the next Mayor. After quiet was restored Patton took the platform and in a few brief words told the audience what the princi- ples of the Republican platform are and promised to serve the best interests of the people if he were elected. He dis- clalmed all connection with corporate power and clearly explained his views on the labor question. The conclusion of Pat- ton’s speech won the candidate for the Mayoralty another round of cheering and good wishes. Henry T. Gage followed Patton, and it was some minutes after his entry before he was permitted to begin speaking. The gubernatorial candidate said but a few words, but they were encouraging to the Republicans gathered in the hall. He sald that he had canvassed the State and that his only deduction from the state of af- fairs was that the Republican ticket was sure to win. s gl OVERFLOW MEETING FOR GAGE The Republicans of the western portion of the city turned out In such numbers last night that the meeting In Langtry Hall, 3206 California street, was an over- flow meeting, and long before Mr Gage ar- rived a larger hall had to be secured to accommodate the crowd. Frank Powers presided, and the first speaker of the evening was Charles L. Patton, who, as he entered, was greeted as the next Mayor of the city. He spoke briefly and to the point. He saild he was in favor of the confirmation of the new city charter because the majority of the people were in favor of it. He pledged himseif, if elected, to stand by the party platform, and stated that he was not bound by any corporate influence or the railroad. The arrival of Henry T. Gage at 10 o'clock was the signal for prolonged cheering. The next Governor did not dis- cuss the issues of the campalgn. He sald he had already done that in this city at thirty meetings. He promised the people, if elected, and he said that he would be, elected and. denied that he had been or would be controlled by any corporate in- fluence. CANDIDATES ARE GIVEN A RECEPTION The Republicans in the Thirtieth Assem- bly District held a reception in honor of Heriry T. Gage and other prominent can- didates on the Republican ticket last evening in the Athletic Hall on the cor- ner of Sixth and Shipley streets. In the addresses delivered they heard, probably for the last time before election, the senti- ments of the standard bearers for whose election they are to extend their suffrages and universal support. Owing to urgent engagements in other sections of the city Mr. Gage was unable to be present, but sent his regrets, thank- ing the Republicans in the district for their loyalty to his cause and to -their party. Charles L. Patton was the prineipal speaker of the evening. Upon his Initial appearance in- the hall he was tendered a ohe and will perhaps give rise to entan- glements, Yesterday the Registrar recefved sev- eral letters from citizens who had tempo- rarily changed their places of abode in the city inquiring if they were thereby dis- franchised. To these Mr. Biggy replied that they would not lose their, votes as a temporary change did not imply a perma- nent change of residence, and that they were entitled to vote in their home pre- cinet. In order to make his position clear in the matter the Registrar has just had printed a large number of cards to be displayed at the election booths, on which the fol- lowing statements appear: To Boards of Election: Every elector duly qualified whose name appears upon the pre- cinet register, and who has continued to reside within_the exterfor boundaries of such elec- tion precinct to the day of election, is enti- tled to vote. Every elector whose name ap- pears upon the precinct register and who has moved his residence outside the exterior bound- arfes of the electlon precinct is not entitled to vote. The electors whose names appear upon the precinct reglster as having removed, must be carefully examined, and if found to still reside within the election precinct, allowed to vote. Do.not send electors to the Board of Election Commissioners to determine any ques- tion or challenge under sections 1230 to 1288 in- clusive.

In his speech in the Seventh Ward last night he in- dignantly repudiated the many slurs that have been thrown -by fusionists 'at the San Leandro convention. “I had some- thing to do with the nomination of that ticket,” said Dr. Pardee. “I was in the convention and I know something of the way the nominations were made, and I want to say now that all the wild talk indulged in about.it, to put the matter mildly, is an exaggeration.

Charles Patton was enthusiastically re- | | [ | i i | | tration. Mr. Gage denied that he was the bonded servant of any corporation or railroad, and he said that his administra- tion would be marked by fairness to every man and that he would do what he con- ceived to be his honest dyty. HENRY GAGE THE ECHO The meeting last night of the Republi- can Argonaut Club in its hall at the cor- ner of Hyde and California streets was a grand and glorious finale to the great work that the club has done during this campaign. - Frank P. Kelly presided. The méeting was addressed by Charles L. Pat- | a new one. The question 15 and liberal basis upon which the Repub- lican party is built. He emphasized the protection it affords the laboring man, not’only in this municipality, but through- out the entire State. 5 Among the various other speakers were Julius Kahn and Louis A. Devoto. These candldates, as dld the majority of those who spoke, followed in the same general course of argument introduced by Patton and Kahn. The event was very successful and enjoyable. MANY VOTES MAY BE LOST BY REMOVALS There seems to have been some misun- derstanding of late concerning the right of voters to change their residence prior to election without forfeiting their fran- chises. Registrar Biggy stated some time ago through The Call and other papers that a change of residence within thirty days of election would disfranchise a voter and he has constantly repeated this statement to persons who have called at the registration office in quest of informa- tion. Despite this effort to disseminate the facts there seems to have been many voters who failed to comprehend the Reg- istrar’'s meaning and frequent changes of | residences have ‘taken place recently, which would probably not have occurred had the status of the case been under- stood. As {t now stands the Registrar believes that about 4000 vaters have technically disfranchised themselves through changes of residence. He states, however, that these voters will, in most cases, probably meet with little opposition at the polls, if they swear in their votes. Others who are perhaps as well versed In election laws as Mr. Biggy state positively that no man loses his vote by a removal, as the law holds that the legal residence remains in zil, repliles, &o.

The man who says that insuits the intelligence of his hearers, insults every one who is a man in the county. Mr. Maguire has said that Mr. Gage is owned by the railroad. You and I have heard Mr. Gage deny this in such a way that unless he is one of the greatest dissimulators on earth he is tell- ing the truth. Further than these consid- erations is the fact that Mr. Gage is the nominee of the Republican party of Call- fornia.” ————— A SCURRILOUS CIRCULAR. Opponents of William A. Deane Re- sort to an Anonymous and Ly- ing Appeal to Voters. The Democratic roorback of infamous history has made its appearance in the present campaign. In doing so it has realized weeks of ex- pectancy and has proved that The Call's warning to beware of it was - well grounded. It makes Its first bow to a supposedly unsophisticated public in the shape of a scurrilous and unsigned circular- di- rected against Willlam A. Deane, Re- publican nominee for the office of County Clerk. Its text Is nothing more Specific than slanderous insin- uation. It is so utterly without foun- dation that its instigators have failed to attach their names, and have been so careful in hiding their crookedness and veiling their allegations in_ intangible terms that mo clew to their identity is to bé found upon the face of their screed. The name of John A. Brown, Deane’s opponent, appears frequently in the article, which was evidently intended to help his cause, but as Mr. Brown is known not only to his party but to his party’s opponents as a gentleman and a fair fighter it is assumed that the attack upon Mr. Deane is without his knowledge or authorfty. Bears Are in the Fight. The Bear Club held a meeting Thursday night at its quarters in B'nai B'rith Hall on Eddy street for the purpose of map- ping out a plan of district campaign. President Collins urged every man to do his utmost for the success of the entire | Republican ticket. In an eloquent speech he predicted a sweeping victory for both State and local tickets, but at the same time sald that it was not yet time to cease fighting. The club formally accepted an invitation to be present to-morrow even- ing at a meeting of the affiifated clubs at ‘Woodward's Pavilion, and with rousing cheers and a promise to bé on duty on electipn day the meeting stood adjourned, Rio’s Joological Gardens. Rio de Janeiro has some active agents ho themselves possess the of publicity Certain of thesé gentle- gift of to: ‘men who feel an interest in the Zoologi- cal Gardens of Rio have lately decided to the ilgrims coming into the .barbor. They have, therefore, issued a circular “to "visitors lylng anch advertise this attraction among strangers and or,! our moneyed men have certainly ac- quired royalty's taste for expensive liv- ing. We have palaces in this country that the kings and queens of the Old World would comsider fit abodes for the mighti- est monarch, and our men of vast means lack nothing that royalty enjoys beyond empty honor. Nor does the wealth of those rulers of naticns surpass that of some of our rich citizens. The Queen of England, says the Philadelphia Times, though the ruler of the biggest and richest empire the world Las ever seen, is by no means the richest person on earth. In fact, her salary, $1,925,000 a year, is one of the smallest paid to any ruler on the globe. And of the $1,925,000, a1l exsept $480,000 is spent by the Lord Chamberlair, the master of the horse, and the Lord Treasurer, who are responsible for the maintenance of the royal household. And of the $180,000, $180,- 000 is put by for a rainy day, so that | Queen has been able to purchase 37.000 | acres of good land in Great Britain, yield- |ing a rent roll of about $125,000 a year. | She also owns considerable property in Germany, & large quantity in New York | and thousands of acres in-Manitoba and ut West.” But with all these Savlnix, e is poorer than many of our wealthy- Osborne and Bal- groperfles of the | i | men. | Claremont House, |'moral are the private | Queen. ~ The first named, standing in its | estate of 460 acres, she bought for $370,000 | Za dectded bargain, for it trigmally cost | Tora Clive $750,000." Balmoral and Cs- | borne are sald to be worth $2,500,000. In | addition_to her property at Coburg, the Queen also possesses a villa at Baden, bé- | dueathed to her by the Princess of Ho- | henlohe. | "The royal family of England is not only | the cheapest that the country. has ever ¥ad, but it is also the most inexpensive The entire expense of the in the world. amoun:s to | whole British royal family | only $82,000 a year, for against the total | expenditure of §2.9%0,000 must be set the | receipt of $2,075,000 from crown lands, Jeaving the above net cost.

The Sultan takes $7, | 000:000, the Emperor of Austria $4,650,000 and the Kaiser Wilhelm $3,650,000. he King of Italy receives §2,925,000—the same. | sum as the whole British family—and the King of the Belgians gets only $625,000 & year. The private property of sovereigns is also very great. The Russian imperial family is the richest of all royal houses, and probably among commoners also. Apa from his salary as ruler, which amounts to twelve and a half miliion dol- Jars 'yearly, the Czar, as_head of the ‘house of Romanoffs, owns 21,000,000 acres of land in different parts of Russia. These yield more than $10,000,000; $2,500,- 000 of this is g‘)aid in"allowances to forty- six ‘grand dukes and duchesses, and the remainder is at the disposal of’ the Czar, who thus enjoys the enormous income of $17,500,000 a year- per hour. The Czar is also the owner of much valuable prop- erty all over the world, and especially in ‘the United States. The daughter of the Czar and Czatina, the infant Grand Duchess Olga, is the richest heiress in the world. The week she was born $5,000,000 was settled ugon her. The sum Was invested in British, French and for- eigh securitiés as a precaution against the possibility of a revolution in Russia. The Hapsburgs, the royal house of Aus- tria, are veg{ ittle, it any, poorer than the Romanoffs. They own immense land- ed estates, and have also inherited large private fortunes. The income of the Aus- trian imperial family is not less than $7,500,000, in addition to the grants from the state. The Hohenzollerns have a private in- come of nearly $5,000,000 per annum, par- tially derived from large investments in New York. The Italian royal family has a private income of $3,000,000 a year, also derived: from American property. Thus the British royal family is by far the poorest of the great ruling housese. The Sultan of Turkey as a despot is, of course, fabulously rich. His annual ex- enses are said to amount to $30,000,000; 000 of this goes for the cloth- of his harem, $400,000 for his own ‘wardrobe, $7,500,000 for presents, $5000,000 for pocket money and another $5,000,000 for his table. It seems incredible that_one man can spend so much money in one year, but when it is remembered that some 1500 %eople live within the palace walls—live luxuriously and dress expen- sively—at the cost of the civil list, it ap- pears more comprehensibie. THE PRIEST AND ing Mr. |+ the exact amount received by her Majes- ty is only $300,000, as fixed by Parliament. Compared with' the big incomes of the American millionaires, this is paltry in- deed. Hers, too, is the smallest salary that any British sovereign has ever re- ceived.

THe campaign opened with Phelan money offering at odds of from 100 to 20 up. Three weeks ago Greene Bros. locked up-in their safe a bet of $1000 to $300 with Phelan on the long end; to-day they have a coffer of Patton shek- els and can find no one to buy at even money. Two weeks ago the odds were laid at 100 to 60 in Phelan’s favor. Mr. Patton'and hjs faculty for making friends raised this to 100 to $ and % a week later,.and inquiry made yestérday at every poolroom in town dewel- oped the fact that odds had been eliminated and that Patton money, even with a fraction allowed as odds to offset Phelan's increasing unpopular- ity, could find no takers. # s The biggest het'of the week went into the Grand Hotel safe Wednesday @® night.
