Speech: w. Nat Friend spoke few
words and assured Mr.. Gage that Ala
media was of one mind and that it
would do its whole duty as a Repub-
lican county until the standard bearer
of the party shouldsreturn to the north.
Mr.. Gage wore the button Of the
Young Mems Republican League of
Alameda County and said he should
wear 1t till the election. The bell was
already ringing when he thanked the
delegation for their kind expressions.
He thanked Alameda for the manner in
which it had treated him and said: I
shall never forget the magnanimity Of
your county. 1t is no surprise to me
now that Alameda can always be de-
pended upon to be loyal to the Repub-
lican party. 1 can assure you that
when the time comes for Los Angeles
County and for myself to get behind
Alameda County and her candidate we
shall do our very best to return all the
compliments you have extended toward
the SOUTH

dent Breed of the Young Mems Repub-
lican League, Judge Nusbaumer. Frank

DEMOCRATS LOSE
MANY VOTERS
DECREASED REGISTRATION THE
CAUSE.
Figures That Prove Where the Loss
in Voting Strength VIII
Be Felt

From estimates compiled by Registrar
Buggy it appears that the total registra-
ton for the present year is about ten
thousand less than for the year 1896. Poll
ticians and political managers have been
endeaYoring to find some means of ascer-
tanning how this remarkable decrease in
the voting strength of the city will affect
the coming election. The result of this
investigation has been demonstration Of
the fact that the falling off in the regis
tration is largely confined TO those dis
.tricts that have heretofore returned DEM
that the Democratic and not the Repub-
lican vote WILL suffer from the decrease
in the number of registered voters.
The following table, which has been
carefully compiled. gives a comprehensive
review of the situation:

BARRY MAKES HIS BOW.
The Congressional Nominee Adj
dressed Number of North
Reach Voters Last NiCht

James H. Barry, candidate for Congress
sional honors, made his initial bow before
a gathering of residents of North Beach
in Apollo Hall, 80 Pacific street, last
night Two bonfires and a band of music
attracted about 200 voters to the meeting
and for two hours they listened to the
virtues of James G. Mcguire, some sing
ing and Mr.. Barry. The latter came late
and half the audience had dispersed, but
those remaining were told at the outset
that he was not going to take up their
time in addressing himself to the import
ant questions of the campaign, as they
were doubtless tired. The candidate then
spoke for twenty minutes longer.
John ]. Barrett also spoke at length,
and was frequently interrupted by an en-
thusiastic drunken man, who encored at
the wrong time. Mr.. Barrett dwelt on the
good deeds Of the Democratic candidate
for Governor. Songs and music followed

THIRD ANNUAL GATHERING OF
STATE SPIRITUALISTS.

The growing tendency of Pacific Coast
associations to sever their relations with
national bodies in the same line of en-
deavor, having headquarters in the East
developed early in the proceedings of the
third annual convention of the California
State Spiritualists Association yesterday.
The matter was brought before the con-
vention by M. S. Norton, who claimed
that the California Association will never
prosper. until it withdraws from the ma
tional body and assumes control of the
societies in this State. After a general
discussion it was decided to refer the
matter to the incoming board Of officers.
The convention, which was held in Oc-
cidental Hall, Larkin and McAllister
streets, was attended by delegates from
various portions of the State. Presi-
dent c. H. Wadsworth presided over the
deliberations of the delegates The re-
ports of officers, agents and missionaries
of the association showed 1t to be in a
healthy condition, both in point of mem
bership and in finances.
There were a number of addresses in
terspersed with the business of the. day.
DR.. H. G. Johnson spoke interestingly on
the theme. Liberty of Thought and LIB
erty Of Speech Miss soo Fosina Fosne
The last business of the afternoon was
an extended discussion of what is known
as the Sleeper and Progressive spirit
uaist Trust. This was beQueathed the
association some fifteen years since for
the building of temple. 1t was in the
form of property, near First and Folsom
streets, and the money has never been
available. The discussion ended in the
appointment of committee, consisting
of C. W. Bassett, M. S. Norton and R.
A. Stitt to investigate ,Ae matter and.
possibly, suggest a way to carry out the
wishes of the donor, Mrs. Eunice Sleeper
of Mountain View.

others made eloquent addresses. Mr..
Davis gave an interesting comparison of
our Government with the Governments of

ing of unrest and state of transition
He recited at length the many inconsis-
tencies which go to make up the so-called
principles of the Democratic party and
the feeling of qualification throughout
California over the nomination of Henry

there could be no more fitting Endorsement
than to roll up Cages majority at the

The Fourth Congressional District Re-
publican convention will be held at
Shells building on O'Farrell street at 8
o'clock this afternoon for the purpose Of
nominating a candidate for Congress
against James H. Barry, the Populist-

that the nomination will be given to ex-
Assemblyman julius Kahn. Ex-State
Senator T. c. Maher, at present a deputy
in the County Clerks office, has with
drawn from the fight. The friends of H
