SAN josE'S PREPARATIONS FOR CAGES RECEPTION

: SAN JOSE, Oct. 31.-The reception to he accorded Henry T. Gage, the next Governor of California, in this city to- morrow will be the greatest polltlcal avent ever held in. Santa Clara County and a direct result of the good worK accomplished during the present cam naign under the auspices of the Re- nublican Good Government League. The. Santa Clara County Repuoncah Club. which has charge of the affair, has recognized the importance of the league. and given it the principal chalr- manship. The greatest harmony pre- yails among the various factions or the Republican party, so far as the otate ticket is concerned; and the demonstra- ton tomorrow will attest the united support that the State and Congress sfonaI candidates will receive.
 Messrs. E. A. Hayes, Rev. H. M. Ten nev and D. H. Bryant of the Good Government League and o. A. Hale and Senator H. V. Warehouse of the Santa. Clara County Republican Club went to Santa Cruz this evening to meet Gage and escort him to this city With Gage are Colonel E.. E. Preston and T. B. Hutchinson. The party will arrive here at $50 tomorrow morning by the narrow gauge: It will be met at the depot by a committee Of proml- nent citizens and Army and Navy League and escorted to .Hales Hall, where from 9:30 to, Il a reception will be rendered to old soldiers and their families. At Il o'clock MT. Gage will be taken to the St. James Hotel, and there public reception wiA be held till 1:30.
 At 3 o'clock mass meetings will be opened simultaneously in the Aud1to- rum and Turn Verein Hall. J. K. Patton, vice president of the Good Gov ernment League, will preside at the meeting in the Auditorium and Senator H. V. Morehouse will be chairman at Turn Verein Hall. MT. Gage will open the meeting at Turn Verein Hall and Colonel Preston at the Auditorium. Hutchison will follow Gage at the for mer and Gage follow Preston at the Auditorium. In this manner of rota- tion all three speakers will address both audiences. Half-fare rates have been obtained from near by points and 1t IS estimated 15,000 people will be present to welcome Gage.
 Unless the utmost harmony prevailed 1t would be impossible to get up such a jollification and reception in honor or Gage. The Good Government League, 
 is solid for Gage and the State and Con@ gressional tickets. In the systematic canvass it has carried on the past month at no time has it failed to urge upon the voters the election of Gage and the entire State ticket. The same winning fight has been made for Loud, and 1t is safe to say that the 25Oo and more votes of the Good Government League will be cast solidly for Gage and Loud The league has done all the actual work for the State and Con- gressional tickets in Santa Clara Coun- ty this year, and the letnargy and idle ness of Rea's County Central Commit tee is drawing forth much adverse con- ment
 Under the banner bearing the pie lures of Gage and Neff in front of the Good Government League headquar- ters another banner, with the words "Welcome Governor Gage" has been strung The Republican County Gen. tra: Committee has made no effort to advertise the State ticket, while the Good Government League has distrib- uted 5000 large cards with pictures of Gage, Neff, Loud and their county ticket broadcast in the city and su- hurban districts.
