tended the mass meeting held by the Thirty-ifth Assembly District Republi can Club last evening in Stanford Hall at the junction of Valencia and Mission l streets.
 | The hall was overcrowded with the vot CTS of the district, who took every oppor tunity to cheer the name of every candi date present and every sentiment of the gentlemen who addressed them. In the audience were many ladies who were not less warm in their signs of approval. H. T. Smith. who presided over the big meeting, made an ideal officer. He not only infused enthusiasm in those present | but introduced each speaker in a manner l that made him feel at home.
 w. H. Cobb, candidate to the Assembly 1 from the district, was first introduced His appearance was the signal for hearty cheering, which was intensified as the evening wore on. Mir. Cobb de- voted his time to a discussion of the grand work done by the Republican party. He was frequently interrupted with applause. During his speech, Charles l.. Patton, Judge Murphy and William A. Deane en- tered the hail. and as they moved toward the platform they were greeted with the widest cheering. Judge Murphy mag unanimously pointed to Mir. Patton as de- serving of their applause, and his act brought forth more cheers.
 At the conclusion of MT. Cobbs address the Republican Glee Club headed by the only Sam Booth, sang about the Demo- cratic-Popocratic party going up Salt River on the Sth of November. The words and music made such a favorable impress sion that the quartet was induced to tell In song the good traits of their party S standard bearer, Henry T. Gage.
 Chas. F. Curry was next introduced, and made a happy speech. in which he said: "All 1 intended saying was, How are your and Goodnight as there are so many able speakers to follow me. There are one or two words l have to say. l have listened with a great deal of pleas ure to Mir Cobb's speech. The Thirty fifth District has been wasted two or three times in the past, but it is not go- ing to be wasted this time, as I am sure MT. Cobb is going to be elected (Ap- plause.) I wish also to impress on you that you want to elect MT. Loud to Con gress (Applause) And Mir. Patton will make that false alarm, James D. Phelan, go before notary public on the 9th day of November and swear that he was run ming. Good-by and good luck" (Heatty applause)
 In presenting MT. Gage to the voters of the district Mir. Smith said that on the Sth~of November when James G. Mcguire "gages" up his votes he will find that he will be short some 5000 which should have come from the Thrty-fifth District. As the Republican candidate for guber- material honors stepped forward the crowd rose to their feet and for three minutes cheered and waved their hats for him.
 Mir Gage thanked the audience for it's kindly reception and said: T have been campaigning now for many days. l have spoken, although the Examiner says I have not, sixteen times these last seven days They tell you some other fellow has spoken, and that is like the man who says his headache hurt by reason of the bad whisky his neighbor drank the day before.

At all events, it will not De interfered with on account of any abuse of any candidate that passes through my throat l set that example for others to follow.
 "I am just now impressed with the Bib ical doctrine that we should rest one day in seven, and I promise you, MT. Chair man, I shall assume tomorrow is the seventh day.
 With all joking aside, gentlemen, this magnificent demonstration in this part of the city indicates to me that the people in this region of the country have care fully weighed all the facts in this con troversy and have decided in favor of the
 
 MT. Gage then discussed the single-tax hobby of his opponent and explained some of the dire results that would en- sue If the anarchistic laws MT. Mcguire advocates are foisted on the country. He then addressed himself to the charges that have been repeatedly made against him that he was railroad kirelinB.
 "A more foul and infamous calumny,'' he said, was never asserted against a hot o-ofi gard to myself. (Applause.) I say now that there is not an honest man who has been with me and knows my relations with corporations would make that as sertion unless he was guided by a cor rupt and infamous purpose. Most of the scoundrels that 1 have known to have aspired for office have howled against the Southern Pacific Company to get there. The Southern Pacific has been and Is guilty of sins and we can restrain it by law. and If ever I get the gubernatorial chair, I will see that 1t is the right of the people to regulate fares and rates by law"
 MT. Gage entered into a glowing de- scription of this city as being big com mercial center, and thanked his listeners for their attention. They cheered and called him back and he talked ten minutes longer on what the people would get If he was elected. The cheers that greeted him at the conclusion shook the hall. He then walked down the aisle, shaking hands with every one
 MT. Pattun's reception was not less en- thusiastic than the Governors, and his clear cut sentences were loudly applaud ed He was followed in turn by Hon. D. J. Murphy, I. J. Truman, w. A. Deane and Martin F. Fragley. All made short addresses and were enthusiastically re- ceived. The reception accorded MT. Frag- ley was a feature of the meeting. He. like Judge Murphy and MT. Truman, was among his neighbors and they showed their love and appreciation of the candi- date for Superintendent of Streets by cheering him on the least provocation.
