My fellow citizens, who are these men
that this Democratic leader would thus
rob of their citizenship, right dear to
the heart of every old soldier? They
are those who fought with Grant in
the West; who rode with Sheridan in
the valley; who marched with Sherman
to the sea; with fighting Joe Hooker
on Lookout Mountain; with black Jack
Logan, the typical volunteer soldier of
the war, as he flashed his sword along
the lines at Shiloh; who We're with Far

fleet of wooden ships through that

Now, comrades, in these piping times

as citizens, only less important than
those rendered by you as soldiers of the
republic, and if you do your duty to
your comrades and to yourselves now

relegate this Democratic statesman to

THE RECEPTION HERE
Prominent Citizens of All Political
Parties Welcomed Him.

Mr.. Gage, in company with the COM
mittee of Sacramentans appointed to
escort him in, arrived in this city at
100 p m, and was met at the depot
by the subcommittee of the Reception
Committee, appointed TO meet and re-
ceive him. Several hundred people had
also gathered at the depot and the
candidate for Governor was given a
hearty and enthusiastic welcome
Mr.. Gage entered a carriage with A.
j. Bruner. Chairman of the Republi-
can County Central Committee, Cap
tain Seamans and Colonel @. NJ Mott
and was driven to the Golden Eagle
Hotel. He found a telegram awaiting
him announcing the death Of a near
friend, and owing TO that circumstance
and at his own request, the reception
which was to have been rendered to
him was deferred until O'Clock.
At the hour named the parlors of the
Golden Eagle Hotel were thrown open,
and standing at the door, Mr.. Gage re-
ceived hundreds of prominent citizens
of all political parties, and spoke a few
pleasant words to each and every one.
He left a favorable impression upon
Sacramento's people as being a genial,
scores of friends.
Among the several hundred who paid
their respects to Mr.. Gage were: Mayor
Land, Secretary of State L. H. Brown.
State Controller Z. p Colgan. Deputy
Attorney General c. n. Post. ]. NJ

Charles It. Jones. p. s. Driver. w. d.
knights, T. w. Sheehan, G.. NJ Mott
and others.
While Mr.. Gage was evidently tired
out from his forty days of campaigning
through mountain and other counties
during which period he had Travelled
by nearly every means of conveyance
Imaginable, his native good humor
made him a favorite with every man
he met, and when the reception hour
was over, he retired to get much
needed rest before appearing at the
Old Pavilion in the evening.
MR. GAGE CONFIDENT.
In speaking with a Record Union"
reporter eoncerntng his tour of the
State, Mr. Gage said he had every
where met with encouragement, and
that his meetings had everywhere been
attended by great crowds, the members
of which manifested the greatest en-
thusiasm. From his own observations
and from reports from co-workers he
felt that the entire ticket would be
erected by good, round majority
Mr.. Gage said that while his tour
had been trying one, physically. he
had greatly enjoyed it. He subse-
quently said that beginning with Janu-
ary next he hoped to make his home in
this city for the four succeeding years.
General w. II. L. Barnes arrived on
the $40 train from San Francisco, and
was met and escorted to the Old Pa
vilion by committee appointed for the
purpose.
