SACRAMENTO, Oct. 10.-denry H. Gage, Republican nominee for Cover nor, arrived in the capital city of Cali fornia at o'clock this afternoon He came from the mountain counties of Calaveras and Amador, where the meetings surpassed all previous politi- cal demonstrations In that region.
 The enthusiasm for the Republican standard bearer was not confined to the meetings, but was exhibited by the people as MT. Gage journeyed through the Sacramento Valley to-day.
 Among the miners in the mountains, as among the farmers and fruit grow CTS of the San Joaquin Valley, he gained outspoken supporters by reason of his manly and unassuming manner in meeting and talking with the peo- pie. Mir. Gage Is the kind of man that the masses respect. They recog- nize in him a man Of the people, dlf- ferent from the office-holding aristo- crats who have grown sleek and fat at the public treasury.
 The tour of the Sacramento Valley opens under the most favorable aus pices. In expectation of the coming of the standard bearer the Republican organization made ready to receive him, but no one anticipated that the reception would take the form of a great popular uprising, such as was ex- hibited in Sacramento tonight.
 A committee of leading Republicans went down the road to Gait and there met the standard bearer on his return from the mountains. Immediately on his arrival at Sacramento he was es- corted to the Golden Eagle Hotel. An informal reception lasting two hours, from o'clock until 5, was held at the hotel.

 The marching clubs in line. stepping to the music of brass bands and drum corps and Saluted by the cheers of thousands and thousands of spectators who lined the street on either side of the route, inspired the Republicans of the capital. Rockets, red fire, banners and transparencies were features of the great demonstration. While count less hundreds were viewing the parade those who knew a. thing or two about the limited capacity of the old pavilion went there early and secured seats.
 When the head of the column reached Sixth and M streets every chair in the house was occupied and standing room was at premium. Later thousands sought to gain admission. but they were turned away. An overflow meet ing on Sixth street, near the pavilion, was large and enthusiastic. It Is esti- mated that 5000 people assembled on the street near the pavilion entrance.

Seamens, commander of the Army and Navy Republican League of California, under the auspices of which the meet ing was called. MT. Bruner read the followin~ list of vice presidents:
