GAGE AT THE BEACH.
He Addresses an Enthusiastic Meeting Under the Shadow
 of Telegraph Hill.


 of Telegraph Hill.
 The noisiest, most demonstrative meet 1 ing of the present Republican campaign was held last night under the auspices or l the Forty-fourth District Club in Bersag- 1 ueri Hail over against the shadow of l Telegraph Hill The hall was crowded chiefly by representative men of the Latin races, and each speaker, in his turn, was greeted with the widest enthusiasm
 Henry T. Gage did not arrive until late l in the evening, and it was thought those in attendance had exhausted their enef- gies This was not so. however. as they made the auditorium ring again and again with their cheers. Hats were thrown Tn the air amid the widest excitement. The greeting was so kindly and so warm as to touch MT. Gage deeply. He told of the strain that had been placed upon his voice by his efforts in the campaign, and apologized for his inability to speak at any length. He expressed hls deep feeling of gratitude for the reception accorded him, which he said was merely a reflection of the peoples devotion to the Republican party and ,the interests for which 1t stands.
 At the conclusion of his address he held a levee upon the floor of the hall, and all those in attendance pressed forward to shake him by the hand.
  L. Patton. the candidate for Mayor, came in attended by Justice Frank H. KerT1- gan and others. Judge Kerrigan was hidden under the shade of a black son. brero such as Mayor Phean now affects. With the announcement of MT. Patton arrival the hall filled rapidly again and a speech was demanded from him. He was introduced by Henry Martin, the Herculean candidate for Sheriff. At first he would only say that as the meeting had been dismissed he would come at an- other time. This was not considered valid excuse by his auditors, so he told them of his candidacy, saying that he knew he would win the fight in walk, and that every man on the Republican ticket from Governor Henry T. Gage down to Justice of the Peace Frank H. Kerrigan, would be elected. He assured them that the Republicans would give them an honest, fearless, buslness-like ad- ministration of which they could be proud. His sentiments struck home and he was applauded repeatedly and given an ova- tion when he went among the people.
 The meeting, over which pr. Campbell Ford presided, was rich in speakers, al- though few of them attempted any flights of oratory. Their sentiments regarding the work of the Republican party during the administration of President Mckin- ley and of the promise for the future, never failed to bring a cheer for the Re publican party and for Old Glory. The speakers included, besides MT. Gage and MT Patton, Thomas F. Graham, Julius Kahn, A. B. Treadwell, A. c. Berthier c. A. Low, D. J. Toohy, A. Meyer, Charles F. Curry, A. Ruef, Judge E. c. Hart and Henry Martin.
 MT. Ruef spoke strongly against the candidacy of Mayor Phelan, saying the people resent his assumption of author
 
 Democratic party. He has taken 1t out of the hands of the people and practically says to them that he Is the entire Demo- cratic party. MT. Patton will wipe the floor" with him on election day, because of the Republican principles for which he stands.
 County Clerk C. F. Curry paid his re- spects to the Democratic boss also, es- pecially as to his attitude toward the workingmen in advocating the cutting of their wages.
 Julius Kahn called upon the voters to indorse the administration of President Mckinley, saying they owed it as a duty to their city, their State and their coun- try
 D. J. Toohy, one time strong in the Democratic party, indorsed each of the Republican candidates who had addressed the meeting.
 The meeting was enlivened by brass band which supplied music whenever the spell-binders present afforded it an oppor- tunity. Jabez Swan also provided some incidental Advertisement in the guise of campaign songs set to popular music.
