Mr.. w. c. wilder Chosen by Three
Votes Over Mr.. H. w. Schmidt.

the Legislature, rendered vacant by the
death of Hon. S. G. Wilder, was called
to order five minutes past the appointed
hour of I 80 on Saturday evening, in the
Legislative Chamber, DR.. S. G. Tucker,
Chairman of the Central Committee,
taking the chair until the Convention
should temporarily organize.
Rev. w. B. Oleson was unanimously
elected temporary Chairman, and Mr..
Chas. Creighton temporary Secretary.
Mr.. W. L. Wilcox, Legislative and
Judiciary Interpreter, on the suggestion
OF Hon. w. A. Kinney, undertook the
Interpretation OF proceedings in English
and Hawaiian.
The Chair, on motion, appointed
Messrs. T j. King, w. A. Kinney and
S. B. Rose committee on credentials.
Hon. ] B. Atherton suggested few
remarks from the Chair while the COM
mittee were out.
The Chairman said he thought they
were all there in a serious frame OF mind,
because in a certain sense they were all
partisans seeking the nomination OF
particular men; yet they should keep
foremost in their minds the duty OF pro-
noting the unity of this party. There
we're plenty of men-half dozen who
would receive the sutfrages OF the party
if nominated. Doubtless there were
numbers OF people who were dissatisfied
with different things, but he believed
that all there would stand as sure by the
party as at the general election. He
would therefore counsel moderation, Tor
it is true that" United we stand, but
divided we fall" (Applause.)
The credentials committee returned
after an absence OF % minutes, reporting
all the credentials submitted as valid;
that Mr.. Moses Keliiaa OF Ward 4 had
left his certificate at home, but there
was evidence that he had been duly
certified; that Mr.. j. A Campbell OF
Eva and Waianae had no certificate,
but the Chairman of the Central Com
mittee vouched for him, and that the
delegation of Ward had appointed MIR.

permanent Secretary on the nomination
of Messrs. G. Livingstone and +. S.
Cunha
Messrs. Lose, Egan and Livingstone
were on motion appointed by the Chair
as committee on rules.
Messrs. Hoting, Hill and Atherton
were similarly appointed as a committee
on resolutions.
Mr.. Vivas moved that intending can
didates make speeches while the COM
mittees were out, but the Chair ruled the
motion out of order on the ground that
there were no candidates as yet. A re-
cess of five minutes was taken instead.
The committee on that subject reported
four rules, including that for five-minute
speeches. Adopted.
The committee on resolutions reported
for adoption the platform of the general
election of 1887.
Mr.. Hookano moved that the report be
amended by adding clauses dealing with
the Chinese and leprosy questions. Mr..
Mccarthy seconded the motion.
The Chair suggested that these mat
tiers might be referred back to the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Kinney said he would have been
in favor of resolutions on those ques-
tons, but doubted if it was necessary
now. Leprosy formed very important
question, but one that should be very
carefully dealt with. So was the Chin
csc question important, but putting a
plank in the platform would not settle it.
The party had been working on it
the House had passed upon it the other
day, SO to- 2. (Applause.) He sympa-
thized with the sentiment, but as they
were only nominating one man 1t was
doubtful if the proposal was expedient.
Mr.. Mccarthy said that it had been
stated in the ADVERTISER that morning
that the election would be on the ques-
ton of ratifying the doings OF the Legis-
