THOSE INDEPENDENTS.
ONE OF THE LATEST POLITICAL
ABsURDITIEs.

prise was caused. With its usual poit-
ical inconsistency the Holomud has
nominated for Senators Paul Neumann,
]. A. Magoon, j. Emmeluth, j. Morgan,
G. l.. Carter and l.. G. Ables, and for
Representatives II. Warehouse, II.
Klemme, George Markham, Captain
Cluney, j. Cranston and w. Henry.
The following facts relating to the
proposed independents will be found
interesting and perhaps suggestive to
those who, under the guise of the term
"independent," are striving to intro
duce disturbing political factors into the
coming election:
Paul Neumann.-This gentleman is
said to be competent and is also said to
be ambitious in the political line. Both
accusations are doubtless correct. But
an investigation proves that Mr.. Neu-
mann is not qualified for the Senate
from the simple fact that he has not a
vote. He registered all right enough,
but a certain small matter between the
gentleman in question and Mr.. Shaw
reversed his franchise and it is now
somewhat worthless.
J. A. Magoon.-Mr. Magoon says he
is an anti-annexation Republican. He
firmly adheres to the present Govern
ment and has repeated his endorse
ment of the platform OF the American
Union Party in so far as it relates to
annexation. Mr.. Magoon might con-
sent to his name being placed upon an
independent ticket if the right kind of
men backed that ticket.
j. Emmeluth. This gentleman is not
an independent. Tens, yes, hundreds
of times has he pledged himself to the
principles of the American Union party
and his past record has proved
him to be man unfiinch-
ing and true to his determinations.
A gentleman said yesterday: John
Emmeluth is satisfied with the platform
and ticket of the AmericanUnion Party,
and when he gets that way he is as
stubborn as an OK" And so it is.
j. Morgan.-Mr. Morgan is absent on
Hawaii and has not been consulted.
Since the downfall of the monarchy he
has been upon the side of the conven-
ton which met last Saturday, and it is
not believed he will desert them now for
any object whatsoever.
C. l.. Carter.-This gentleman has
expressed satisfaction with the ticket
put forward by the Convention last
Saturday, and has already pledged him
self as a candidate on that ticket.
LC, Ables.-Mr. Ables has repeat
edly stated that he would not enter the
race in the coming campaign. His
name was placed in nomination last
Saturday, but was withdrawn, it is
understood, at his own request. Mr..
Ables endorses the platform of the
American Onion Party. Is it likely,
then, he would have given up race
with certainty of victory for one with
disaster back of every promise?
The ticket for Representatives is even
more absurd. Take them as they come.
II. Waterhouse.-Mr. Warehouse re-
pudiates the suggestion of himself as
an independent candidate. He has
pledged himself to the American Union
Party and its ticket, and says he will
not accept support from any other
quarter.
II. Klemme.-This gentleman will run
as an independent candidate for the
House. The Schutzen Club will, as a
club, endorse the platform of the Ameri-
can Union Party, and run Klemme as its
candidate. The club claims to be after
direct representation. Klemme, how
ever, will not allow his name to go on
an independent ticket or slate. His
strength will lie in the Schutzen Club, a
part of the Schutzen Company or police
force, and, he claims. support from
the American League. A few members
of the long defunct Peoples Party have
also signified a willingness to lend Mr.
Klemme hand.
George Markham.-For all the world
George may take a notion to run fol
something. 1t would make little diff
erence what, and it would be just lik,
him to run for the simple sake of run
ming. Since the Convention George ha
worn a sedate appearance, and it ma.
be that he is planning just sucl
a maneuver as the Hoiomua suggests
j. Cranston.-This young man is dis
qualified from the fact that he has beer
but Ave or six months in the country
He will have to live here until mex
election and gain of the experienc,
which eating poi alone can furnish be
fore he can enter the political arena il
league with or for bout with Mark
ham.
William Henry.-Mr Henry has no
been seen upon the subject, but hi
next friends assert that he will no
permit his name to be used as a cand
date on an independent ticket. Iii
well known loyalty to the America
Union party, but emphasizes thi
opinion.
That ends the list, but other slate
will likely be suggested in the next fey
days. And, by the way, since the mat
ter has come up, George Markham ht
done little talking on the streets II
specting the representation from Gu
No. s. He didn't like it much eithel
and said, or affected to say, that tn
ticket would not receive his endorse
ment. However, number Of prom
nent members of the Hawaiian Repul
Iican Club disagree with George on jul
that point, and when the thing come
TO head it may be that he is backin
himself up and hasn't another pillar
his name.
