Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 26.-santa Clara County will give Henry T. Gage larger majority than it has ever given any Republican candidate for Cover
 nor. Reports from different parts of the county con rm this. The orchard
 ists and farmers do not take to Ma
 guireism, and the majority of them are
 enthusiastic supporters of Gage. Ma
 quire was greeted by big audience
 here a few days ago, but large pro-
 portion attended as spectators and
 will vote the Republican State ticket.
 The greetings accorded Congressman
 Loud at his meetings throughout the
 county during the past ten days shows
 how the people stand on the State
 ticket. Everywhere his meetings are
 crowded and people promise their SUD-
 port to himself and Gage.
 The fusion of Democrats and Popu-
 lists has driven many Democrats to the
 Republican State ticket, while there is
 dissatisfaction among the Populists.
 The latter believe they are getting the
 worst of 1t from the Democrats and that the Maguireites are working prin-
 cipally for their own men and these
 will also support the Republican can didate for Governor.
 The Republican Good Government League has been chiefly instrumental in bringing about this condition in politics for the Republican State ticket. They have canvassed the county and did hard work for 1t in their fight against Req and for reform. At all their meet ings they have urged the people to support Gage, Loud and the State and Legislative ticket. The league has over 1900 members and each of these has been working energetically in his own locality. By this means a thorough or ganization has been perfected.
 The Req county central committee is making no effort to elect the State ticket. The Reaites county ticket can- didates hold nightly meetings in vari- ous parts of the county, but they are too busy seeking votes for themselves to take any interest in the guberna- torial fight. This lack of interest in the election of the State ticket is ac- cording to orders issued by Req and Mackenzie. In fact these two worthies would like to see Gage defeated-simply because Paul r. Austin, one of Boss Rea's henchmen in the Board of Su- perVfsors, fWas not given the Repub- iIcan nomination for Secretary of State
 The chances of the Good Government League electing its county ticket are as bright as those for the State ticket reports come in from all over the county, and it is almost certain the reform forces will carry the election The union of Good Government League, Democrats and Populists upon good men for county offices means the de- feat of the gang. The people are tired of being taxed to provide for the sup port Of friends of Req and the Macken- zie family. Taxes are being steadily in- creased without any material benefits. and the schools and other institutions wrecked through gang interference.
 The gang is doing all in it's power to defeat l.. J. Chipman for Superintend- ent of Schools. This official has held the office for over twenty years, and because he refused to obey Boss Rea's the edict has gone forth to ruin him politically and every other way. Chipman refused to go before the Req Republican convention this year and took the nomination from the Good Government League. Rea's candidate for Superintendent of Schools is H. c. | ''abes, recent arrival from Santa Bar para. He is a migratory candidate for 1 he office and ran for the same po- | sition four years ago in Santa Bar | para County.
 The gang has left nothing undone to 1efeat Chipman. The Board of Super- Visors, at the direction of Chairman | Req, brother of the Boss, ordered an | investigation of the Superintendent's | office. Experts worked upon the books 'or some time and last week turned Jver a bulky report to Superintendent Req. This report has not been filed with the board, but it is said that it is being used as a campaign document against Chipman. The office has al- ways been ably conducted and it is cer- ain no irregularities could be discov- ,red.
 Matters will probably be turned and visited so as to make some nonsensical 'harge against the Superintendent. The 'eport will undoubtedly be filed day 1T two before election, when 1t is too ate to circulate a general denial
