Governor on his arrival here; and the
pleasure of entertaining him during the
forenoon. 1t was arranged in advance,
also. by the Republican National
League Club of San Jose that an after
noon reception and. two daylight meet
ings be held under the auspices OF the
national organization.
According to the plans the veterans
were at the depot to. welcome with
cheers and music the champion OF the
people The line: of:veterans-and the
alignment was xcellent-extended the
length of the entire depot. AS Mr.. Gage
walked along the line, escorted by the
reception committee, such cheers" as
only veterans can give saluted him He
passed along, raising his hat IN recos-

The streets on either side were lined
with people to view the: procession.
Since the day San Jose. gave welcome
to U. S. Grant there has been in the
valley no patriotic ovation equal to the
reception which the Army and Navy
League gave to-day to the standard
bearer of the Republican party of Cali
forIlia.
When the head of the marching col
umn reached the hall the ranks were
opened, and the carriages containing
the DISTINGUISHED guests passed
through the line. Again the cheers OF
enthusiastic men who had borne the
flag on many field of battle greeted
the manly leader of the Republican
legions in the contest for good govern
ment, law and order. Alighting from
the carriage. to which four superb black
horses were l1arnessed, Mr.. Gage and
his escorts assembled the broad stair
way leading to Grand Army Hall. The
ladies of the Women's Relief Corps
were first visited. When the desire of
the loyal ladies to see the next Gov
ernor had been gratified, the veterans
reception began. The gallant old SOL
diers who had been on dutv since earlx
morning crowded around Mr.. Gage and
gave him the cordial pressure of their
hands The occasion demanded a
speech, and the standard bearer, who
has shown in this arduous campaign
that he is equal TO any occasion. re-
sponded in a patriotic vein He &C
knowledged the compliment of the
greeting. He referred to the long march
of the veterans, and observed that 1t
had a meaning higher and grarder than
a personal tribute to a candidate for
office. It signified renewed determine
ton upon the part Of the veterans to
uphold the honor and defend the con-
stitution of the country. Mr.. Gage ex-
pressed the belief that so long as these
veterans survived, and 80 long as their
example should speak, the anarchy
doctrine of Mcguire could never find
Judgment in this country. The ap--
plause responsive to this sentiment
shook the building.
At the conclusion OF the exercises at
Grand Army Hall Mr.. Gage met many
hundreds of the citizens of San Jose.
One hours rest at the st. James Ho-
tel gave him strength for the duties
of the afternoon. Meanwhile the peo-
pie were coming from Niles, Gilroy, Los
Gatos, Palo Alto, Saratoga, Milpitas
and the farms, vineyards and orchards
which have made this region of Califor-
MIA famous. They came to attend the
daylight meetings and judge by per-
sonal observation what kind Of man
the Republican nominee for Governor
was Hon. z. f. Preston came from
San Francisco and Hon. T. b. Hutchin-
son came from Napa to join Henry T
Gage in these meetings.
