ton for. NOhIC.

ton for Nchlc.
a meeting Of the Reform Party
was held at the lionolulu Rifles
Armory yesterday evening, to ratify
the nomination of Mr., y. Young for
the vacant Noble scat. Owing 10
the detention OF Mr. L. {. Porter,
chairman, at registration board,
the meeting was half an hour later
in opening than the time announced.
There was an attendance of two
hundred or more when the meeting
was called 10 order at eight O'Clock.
Among those present were Hons. c.
r. Bishop, w +. Allen, II. NJ.
Whitney, T.. lscnberg, II. =. Bald
win, q. y. Wilcox, a. $. Wilcox, j.
NJ. ilorncr, and W. Y. IIorner, and
many representative citizens,
Mr. j. II. Fisher was elected Sc
cretary. The chairman gave few
introductory remarks and called ON
Mr.. w. G. Wilder.
Mr.. Wilder did not think anybody
expected long speeches, or that any
speaker was prepared TO make u
long speech. Shortly after the gen
eral election the BULLETIN said the
Reform Convention had made mis-
take in not nominating Mr.. Young.
He thought himself it was mistake,
and if nil who had said they thought
so would vote for him his election
was sure. Then they were told that
it was the height OF impudence for
the Reform Party TO put up a candi-
date at ALL That was not the kind
of politics he was used to, lie believ-
ed in having contest whenever
there was Il man TO elect. He told
Of john a. Logan's nomination to
The United States Senate, after II
long deadlock in the Illinois Legis-
lature, To show the importance of
never yielding to the opposite party.
Ii was no use talking that night
about policies, the main thing was
TO get in all their votes and elect
their man next Wednesday. The
them now, hnt he believed they all
felt that il had done good work. A
National Reform Noble said in that
, building the other night that they
. had turnpd out the rottcnest admin
isiration the country ever had. Ht
did not think there was a mar
p, within hearing of his voice who be
lieved one word OF that. The cleo
ton was important, as the seat wa
e for two more sessions after this, ant
t the House was so evenly divided
: that the man elected now might turf
+ the scale on very important mea
: sures. They were not there to con
!, denim the new Ministry, they woul'
try them by their works. They hat
3 nothing to say either against The op
u posite candidate. Referring to Nj
Dall's letter in the BULLETIN, b
said that if Mr.. Young showed abb
ity as manager of the Honolulu Iro
Works he would represent the pee
x pie ably as Noble.
Mr.. Alex. Young was receive
g with loud applause. He was gla
}. to meet so many of his friends, bu
!, he had expected some of his emf
mics, and would like to have a
opportunity of explaining certai
grievances against him. The Elel
7, had an article discussing his chal
lie acter, and if he had known he wa
$. so bad he would not have c0nsente
:. to stand. There was, however, nj
5. want that any working ina
knew, with which he was not col
]. versant from experience. One oil
lection heard against him was TIL
he was rich. Well, if plantatic
stock was wealth, perhaps he was
A rich man. But the time seemed
O. be approaching when the man wi
". had the most plantation stock wou
be the poorest man in the countr
Another objection was that he w
not married to Hawaiian. Th
he could not help, as there were !
Hawaiians in the country where
was married. (Laughter.) The
it was said he would flood the cou
try with Chinese to the detrime
of other nationalities. There W
T. not vestige of proof that he W
n 50 disposed. In the twenty yea
70. and more that he had conduct
II. the foundry, many influential Cl
/ nese, including some who had giv'
I him thousands of dollars worth
"A. work, had begged him TO take CT
Az nese into the shops. He refus
- all such applications and warn
carpenters and others who We
teaching Chinese trades that tn
70 were preparing trouble for the
- selves, and these were the very IN
who were now bowling at his alleg
ar Chinese proclivities. The speal
had Indignantly replied to pl
position that Scotchlnen be int
duced for labor, by saying Scotc
men would never work on le
q with Asiatics on the plantation
and he would prefer to manage fC
thousand Chinese in the field tn
four hundred Scotchmen unC
,o those circumstances. And that v
m all there WAS TO what people w
bounding him about. 1t had be
said that "Mr. Capitalist Youn
did not employ Chinese in the shc
