The Election az Eaiiua, Hawnii.

Mn. EDITOR A few Of the facts relating TO the
election of a Delegate for North Kona, will bear ven
tlation.
From two Of the inspectors of elections of that
district, L learned the manner in which the election
was conducted, and the results of the same.
The Minister OF the Interior having failed to COM
ply with that portion of the law relating to elections
which makes it his duty TO provide suitable ballot
boxes in each election district, an open bucket, into
which each voter was allowed to insert his whole
hand. was made to answer the purpose of a civilized
ballot-box.
One of the inspectors noticed that as a voter with
drew his hand from the ballot bucket. q dozen or SO
of small ballots which had adhered to his hand fell
upon the floor. But he allowed the rogue to pass
unnoticed.
There were two candidates for the houors and re-
sponsibilities of a Delegate, namely kupakee and
Kamalo.
Kupakee's ballots were of the usual size. from two
to two and a half inches in length, while the most of
Kamalo's we're little pieces of paper, from one-half
to three-quarters of an inch in length.
The number Of voters recorded, was-............3I3
BALLOT. for Kupakee. c,onest vo.es)

Kamalo received a certificate of election, oil straight,
from two of the inspectors. the Hon. Waiau, Judge
of N. Kona. and Kapuukui, the tax collector. The
school su perintendent stated on the certlhcate that ne
did not consider the election legal.
Will the Minister of the Interior or Will the Con-
ventiOn order a new election ,
Yours, HUALALAI.
1Can it be possible that the same instructions were
sent to Kailua as to Molokai, to have " WISE in
spectors to preside over the ballot-bucket, and that
the remarkable " stufing'' of votes shown above
has been the result?l
