HEADQUARTERS.

| CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 22.-The first demonstration | of the day occurred shortly before noon
 when the train from the south drew into the depot bearing eighty-five delegates from Los Angeles. They were accompa-
 nied by nearly as many more politicians who are not delegates, but quite as en- thusiastic Gage boomers as the regular es, in which the Los Angelanos travelled, bore Gage banners on their sides, while the delegation brought a handsome silk banner, which was borne in triumph to MT. Cages headquarters.
 Defiant of the whitening rays of the sun pouring down upon them the Los An geleS eighty-five, each one badged with glaring yellow satin ribbon announcing their choice for Governor, formed in col street to K, thence to the Golden Eagle. No band nor drum corps preceded them. but the delegates kept time to their own Gage" stopping at intervals of half a block to wheel into line and startle the cheers i1e for the @ southern candidate.
 Arrived at the Golden Eagle, the dele gation marched to the headquarters of tween that gentleman and several north ern politicians. After each had shaken hands with the candidate the crowd start ed down stairs to "WhOop 'er up' for their man.
 Right here occurred pretty little incl dent that contrasted strongly with the
 
 last weeks gathering. It proved that, however spirited the rivalry among can didates and delegations may be, they are all Republicans, and as soon as nomina-- tions are made all strife will end and every man will turn to and work honestly and devotedly for the successful ones. The Los Angeles people as they started through the corridor passed Dr. Pardees headquarters and quickly lining up before the open door gave three cheers for Ala medals son, as sincere and hearty as those they had given but few moments before gratified at this compliment and expressed his pleasure in a few happy words. Then the Los Angelenos went down stairs to begin their part in the button-holing, ca joling, handshaking and joStling.
 The Los Angeles delegation caucuSed this afternoon and decided unanimously nominated or defeated. The contest for the Sixth Congressional District nomina- tion was also taken up, that county hay, Frank T. Davis. A vote was taken re- sulting in favor of Waters by forty-five to forty and he was declared the unani- nous choice of the delegation. San Luis Obispo, however has it's own candidate, Judge Gregg, an attorney of that town, votes of his delegation. As Waters will have seven of the nine votes from Ven tura it looks as though Gregg's candidacy would get no farther than the Golden Eagle.
 The orange-ribboned men from the south were out tonight to show their good will to all the gubernatorial can didates and to emphasize their loyalty to Gage. Headed by a brass band they formed in front of the Golden Eagle at 8 o'clock and marched down K street to Fourth, thence back to The Call head quarters. Here the column halted, and after selection by the band cheers were given for The Call. Band and delegates then entered the Golden Eagle and pro- ceeded to pr. Pardee's headquarters, and a serenade was rendered Alameda's can didate.
 Somebody called for three cheers for the doctor, and they were given with a will. Dr. Pardee thanked the Los Angeles peo- pie for their friendly manifestation. es- tablishing at once the most cordial rela- tions by his good natured remarks. Three more cheers for Pardee, followed by three times three for their own man, and the delegation. accompanied by Gage. went across to the Capital Hotel to pay their respects to Lou H. Brown. That gentle man was at dinner. so after some music and round of cheers the crowd went back to the Golden Eagle and serenaded Thomas Flint Jr.
 Gage called for cheers for his rival and after they had been given the two can didates stood arm in arm while the band played another selection. After more cheers all around the Los Angeles men dsbanded their little procession and re- newed their labors in behalf of their can didatp.
