 -'1 do not know of one better fitted to fill the office of Governor than Henry T. Gage. Nature has endowed him with qualities which place him in touch with the people,
 A few minutes before II o'clock there was a great tumult of applause, which signaled the arrival of Henry T. Gage, the Republican standard bearer Although many had gone home weary of waiting. 1000 people remained to greet the next Governor. The greeting accorded to MT. Gage was in the nature of an ovation The audience applauded and cheered for several minutes. Owing to the lateness of the hour the standard bearer did not make a speech. He expressed his grati- tude to the people for the compliment they had paid to him in waiting so long. It was explained that engagements else where detained him. He promised at some opportune time to speak at greater length, and closed by thanking the peo- pie for the magnificent reception.

 As MT. Gage was leaving the Exchange building he encountered MT. Mcguire go- ing in. The rival candidates stopped and chatted for a few minutes and then con- tinued on their respective ways. When MT Mcguire got Into the Exchange he found that everybody. except one or two died-in-the-wool Democrats, had left the building with MT. Gage, so he also re- tired, promising to cali again to-day.

'"The students of two great universities have met this evening to jointly receive James G. Mcguire, whom you all know. These two universities have met before upon the gridiron, on the diamond and in debate, at which times free vent has been given to their rivalry: but tonight they meet in perfect harmony
 After few laudatory words Of Judge Mcguire, the speaker presented Governor Budd as the chairman of the evening. Again the cheering for Jim Budd' broke loose. After it had subsided the Governor spoke In part as follows:
 'It Is enough to knock ore speeches. to see such a crowd turn out on such a night as this, and nothing but the honor of presiding over a meeting of the stu dents of these two great colleges would have brought me out tonight.

Republican Nominees Enthusi- astically Received by the
 Mechanic

The Opera House at the Potrero was packed last night with the mechanics, their wives and children, in the anticipa- 1 tion of seeing and hearing the men that will administer the laws and govern the State and municipality on and after the
 first Monday of next January.
 Shortly after o'clock a carriage drove
 up with the next Governor, Henry T. Gage; Irving M. Scott, c. s. Laumeister and Ava Watt. These gentlemen were met at the door leading into the hall by T. c. Duff and Dr. T B. de Witt, the lat ter acting as chairman of the meeting and the former in the capacity of 'presi-
 dent of the Potrero Republican Club. As soon as the guests had been seated on the platform T. c. Duff called the
 meeting to order and introduced Dr. de 1 Witt as chairman of the meeting. This
 gentleman introduced Irving M. Scott 1 On the introduction of Gage the rafters l of the house were made to vibrate. He
 commenced his discourse by gaining the 1 goodwill of his audience in telling them | that he had been a hard-working man in
 his younger days and as a consequence | his sympathieS were with the working 1 man. Mcguire claimed to be black l smith, but he was under the impression that 1t was a good many years since the 1 single-tax eater had heard the music of

 l At the conclusion of MT. Cages remarks 1 he was given three cheers by the audi l ence.
 1 c. s. Laumeister, nominee for Railroad Commissioner, was enthusiastically re- ceived He made short address, telling his audience that in 1868 he lived In the Potrero while following his avocation as an engineer. He was a mechanic and un-
 derstood the trials and difficulties which beset men who have to work for living in order to properly support their families. He spoke for the nominees of the party and was sure of the success of the entire ticket on election day.

 graduate of the rolling mills, had the en- tire sympathy of the boys in the Potrero with him.

 Thomas Graham, nominee for Police Judge was the next speaker. Judge Joachimsen followed with few remarks. R. R. Duckworth, president of the
 Spanish-American Republican League of California. was presented to the audience. He made brief speech.
 Judge c. A. Low had only few words
 to say He was firmly convinced that the

 Patriotic songs were sung by Mrs.

 Chairman de la Torre presented to the audience ex-Governor Romualdo Pacheco, remarking that the distinguished man
 served In Congress with the noble Will liam Mckinley The applause following the introduction of ex-Governor Pacheco was prolonged and hearty.

who appeared before them. Like their more fortunate neighbors who were seat ed they interspersed the addresses of the orators by cheers and applause.
 The appearance of Henry T. Gage near the close of the meeting won him an ova- tion. The voters stood on their seats and cheered until the very rafters rang, and the efforts of the musicians, who were manfully trying to play a welcoming air, were lost in the volume of sound. As the Republican candidate pushed his way through the standing throng his hand was grasped on all sides. He was accom- panied by Irving M. Scott, lately returned from Washington with another contract for the building of a great battle-ship. MT Gage and MT Scott were escorted to the platform, and bowed their appre- citation of the splendid reception. A. E. Tfeadwell candidate for Police Judge, ewas speaking at the moment, but on the entrance of the distinguished guest he closed his remarks.
 A gain the cheers rang forth when MT Cage was introduced by the chairman as the next Governor of California. When the noise had subsided MT. Gage opened his remarks by saying that some might think he was stranger in their midst. He won the crowd almost immediately by saving that he was never a stranger where the stars and stripes foated.
 ''Wherever that flag waves" he con- tinued, land I look into the faces of citi- zens who love that flag I feel at home. (Applause) And here in your midst, though a long distance from the place where I pass most of my life, feel at home.

Applause ) In my early manhood I commenced to battle against the right of the railroad to operate this State, and the first political utterance from my lips was that the Southern Pacific had no right to inter- fere with political affairs
 When MT. Gage informed his listeners that he assisted Joseph Call in wrestling from the railroad corporations of America nearly 30. GOO, 600 acres of land and restored it to the public domain, the applause was deafening.
 Ut is infamous for this man to stand on a political rostrum and declare 1 am a tool of the railroad. It hurts my heart and I resent it because they strike at the name and honor of my children, whom I love. (Great applause.) Fear not, felIow-citizens, that I will ever be dominated by that kind of Influence. If I am elected Governor of this State of California-and I will be its next Gever- nor (continued cheering and cries of s.you wills')--you may depend upon it that when I occupy that chair there will be a heart beating there for the poor man. No Governor will occupy that chair who has not an ear of sympathy for strug, giing manhood"
 At the close of Mir. Gage's address the audience arose and gave him three ring ing cheers.

late in reaching the pavilion-the audi ence divided it's attention be- tween the band and the shouts of the students When the latter gave their vo- cal chords a rest they would fill in the time distributing cards of the various candidates. Those seated on the main floor were the recipients of these favors, which were usually snapped down to them with catapult force.
 After a time the celebrated Columbian Quartet made it's bow and sang 8 new patriotic song, giving for an encore a po- there will be In the old town when Ma guire is elected Governor.
 It lacked just 10 minutes to when Judge William F. Lawler, chairman of the Union Campaign Committee, made a passageway through the crowd for Judge Mcguire, Governor Budd, James H. Barry, William Craig, William M. Hinton, John P. Dunn, E. L. Hutchison, Will s. Green, H. A. McCraney and the Stanford and Berkeley orators. The party ascended the speakers stand amid a tumult of en- thusiasm, while several clubs with band and drum corps marched in, adding to the hubbub Judge Mcguire bowed his acknowledgement of the brand new calls the students turned loose in his honor. and after the cheers for the candidate had subsided they broke out afresh for Governor Budd. and the welcome ac- corded him was fully as demonstrative as 1t had been for Judge Mcguire.

Are we relying on the Little GiantT" "
 Several hundred students asked that question at frequent intervals at Wood+ wards Pavilion last night, and each time would follow the answer, almost in the same breath
 "You bet we are relying on the Little Giant.'''
 Question and answer afforded them no little satisfaction. and it certainly afford ed the big crowd packed into the lower part of the structure much amusement. It also tickled the man on whom they placed so much reliance, as well as the other aspirants for office and the invited guests seated on the little balcony that served as a speakers stand.
 The occasion was the joint reception of the students of California and Leland Stanford Jr. universities to James G. Mcguire. For once the rival college yells rang out in blissful harmony in stead of defiant challenge. The blue and gold was intertwined with the crimson i; the men of the two great institutions in termingled on terms of courteous cordial ity. For the hour the bitter gridiron scrimmages and the hostile meetings on the diamond were forgotten, or if not for gotten, were ignored. When the short. snappy bark of Stanford rang out the quick, raspy cry of Berkeley was defer entially stilled until the close. Then 1t would come as a friendly acknoWIedg- ment of the other. It will be different a few weeks hence.
 The big pavilion was artistically decor ated with the colors of the two colleges in honor of the occasion. Back of the speakers stand was a broad banner of blue and gold, which bore the motto in letters of silver Truth is eternal and must prevail" The front of the stand was draped with crimson, festooned with an eagle and shield, while underneath were large crossed American flags. Around the gallery the two college colors were entwined caught up at intervals with portraits of Judge Mcguire and American shields alternately, while over head broad streamers of blue and gold radiated from crimson centerpiece.
 The gallery was reserved for the colle- gians and invited guests, while the main floor and lower circle were thrown open to the public There was some misman- agement on the part of the police, to which Governor Budd called attention when the matter was brought to his no- tice When the officers thought there were enough in the hall they refused to admit any more, although there were many vacant seats left and large crowd outside clamoring for admission. When the Governor demanded that the people be admitted the doors were thrown open and the hole quickly filled.
 Pending the arrival of the guest of the evening and his associates-and they were

splendid body of instructors headed by the scholarly David Starr Jordan. But neither of these universities is of a po- litical character.
 ''When I took up paper this morning I saw a statement credited to the Repub- lican candidate for Governor that the University of California is a Republican institution, fostered by Republican gen. erosity. Back into his teeth I hurl the falsehood. for it is false. For him have the greatest respect as man and law yer, but as a political speaker l will not say anything.
 Governor Budd then gave a history of the founding of the State University, and said that both parties and all the people had helped 1t. There was no politics in it.
 Hastings founded the college of law that Is now part of the university, and he was a Democrat; Poland founded the medical department and he was a Demo- crat; Mrs. Phebe Hearst Is now engaged with plans for new buildings that will be a lasting monument to her generosity; while Miss Jennie Flood, whose father was one of the leading Democrats of the State, has just endowed it with s3,000,- 0O0 Nobody ever claimed the University of California was political institution until yesterday, and If that gentleman doesn't know any more about the college than that he had better remain in Los Angeles and practice law.
 During the last session of the Legis- lature when more generous provision was made for the University of California than ever before at one time by the State, Re- publicans and Democrats alike, without a single exception, supported the meas ure. Coombs, the speaker of the Assem- bly, a regent and a Republican, indorsed the bill; so did Jeter, the president of the Senate, also a regent, and Democrat, and l as Governor, and, too, a member of the Board of Regents. signed it. Three regents and every member of the Legis- lature gave their time and attention to that bill"
 The Governor then launched forth into the issues of the campaign asserting that the railroad was the paramount is- sue. He said the Republicans denied that the railroad was in politics, but it's hand was too apparent in Gage's nom- fnation to attempt any denial. In order to conceal the real issue Mir. Gage and his followers raised the bugaboo of the single tax If they were asked about the rail- road they would reply, ''Sh-h Maguire is single taxer." If Mcguire were forty single taxers he could not carry into ef- feet his theory without the approval of the people, for 1t would require a con- stitutional amendment to adopt it.
 The question to-day, he said, was the Income tax, and though he had worked to secure an income tax, his efforts had been defeated by a Republican Legislature In conclusion, he said: T ask the people tc seriously consider the issues of this cam paign. The railroad Is either for or against one of these two candidates for Governor, and whichever way it be- the people want to be on the other side''
