GEORGE C. PARDEE, the Bj 1* Republican . candidate for M J«r Governor of California, be- M Jr 6an hiS caTE P ai S n ln San J^^f^ Francisco under happy aus <1 i pices yesterday. Fresh from the Interior, where his course was sin gularly triumphant and : where he was the recipient of attentions seldom paid to candidates even for gubernatoriaf hon ors, in -this State, he has begun the siege of San Francisco with every .prospect of shattering the bulwarks of the enemy and winning a great victory. Pardee's reception by the citizens of the city of his birth was a flattering one. The reports of -the' assurances -of success in the interior given the Republican stan dard bearer during- the past week had been disseminated by the press and the result was an awakening of enthusiasm among all classes which had its culmina tion In largely attended meetings through cut the day and evening. Pardee arrived in the city at ll_p' clock yesterday morn ing from Santa Cruz and his entrance was signalized by cheers given with a will by hundreds of worklngmen on the water front and the spirited strains of martial music by a full bend. He was escorted to the rooms of the Harbor Republican Club on lower Market street, where for more than an hour hundreds^ of working men, representing -many crafts, and solid business men shook him by the hand and assured him of their unqualified support. It was an occasion of more than usual significance, for it demonstrated what the opponents of Pardee continue to deny, namely, that the workingroen of • San Francisco are determined to perpetuate by their votes the policy by which their Interests have been so well subserved in the past. .' * . .
