This IS by no means saying that either the po
lice OF the soldicty had absolute freedom to
vote as they pleased, they were urged and a.
pected to vote the Administration ticket and
most u them undoubtedly did 50 Bot the
espionage upon them was no, SO close that
they mghi not have voted as they liked il
they had possessed the courage Of their
convictions which Independents hope they
will possess next election.
Inside the polls, The most perfect dccomm
prevailed, cscep, when Nh kaulukou occas.
ionally forgot to restrain himself and, taking
voters by The aims. led them towards the
ballot boxes with much ostenra,ion. Only
one manifcstly drunken man appeared. On
his way to the ballot box he held his tax re-
ceipt over hi, head and shouted in English,
I'm going To vote for the liquor bill" The
inside scene was panorama OF face, and
physique that would have been worth the
study Of an artist Of ponraiiurc. Sometimes
men OF middle age were followed in the rank

Some dissatisfaction was expressed at tn,
crowded condition Of the rnauka entrance way
But i, does not appear that voters were pre-
vented from exercising the right Of franchise
ON every hand among the whites might b,
heart expressions OF satisfaction at the fair
open way in which the election progressed
as conirasted with the scenes two years ago
and notwithstanding that improper nfucnc,
with the votes Of the soldiery were charge,
and not denied.
Mr.. Gibson was perhaps the most gratihet
man in Honolulu over the defeat OF Mr.
Carter " That man upset Hams in 1872,
said Mr.. Gibson, " and We don't want him t,
Try the same game now"
Mr., Claus Spreckels was present at the poll
for a few minutes and discussed the siluatio
ljocosely with Mr. W. X. Castle and othc
prominent Independents.
