the opposition to the regular UnioI
Party ticket is slight, and what Their
is of it comes not from the enemy bu
from within the party's own camp.
Makawao andLahaina will probably
give solid support to the regular nom
inee.
In Waikiki at the election for con
stitutional delegates a difference arose
in the Union Club over the AsiatiC
labor question, and about dozen gen.
tlemen withdrew from the organiza-
ton. This feeling has somewhat in
creased-the boiling coterie openly
declaiming that they are skeptical in
regard to the Union Party's sincerity
concerning the restriction Of Asiatic
labor to agricultural purposes, and
consequently are backing William
Goodness for senator, though he is a
member OF the very party in which
they express a want of confidence.
Waikiki district has registered 81 sem
atorial electors of which, il is stated,
Mr.. Goodness will receive half.
In Hama district the split within
party lines is of more recent origin.
Some days ago a meeting of the Union
club was called to elect delegates to
the Waikiki convention, but owing
probably 10 insufficient notice no
members from Mokae and Kipahulu
were present, so it was decided to hold
no.regular meeting. Nevertheless an
informal vote was taken in regard to
l.. NJ. Hanuna and VIM. Haia who
were probable nominees for represent
alive. Haia was declared to be the
choice of the gentlemen present. Mo-
kae citizens also conducted a sort of
informal canvass and they seemed to
be unanimous in favor of Rev. Z. NJ.
Hanuna.
As the Hama club failed to send any
delegates, the Wailuku convention
nominated Hanuna on the ground of
his seniority of service in annexation
ranks. The contest in Hama district
proper will be of a rather exciting ma
ture, Mokae and a part of the Hama
voters supporting Hanuna, and Kipa-
hulu and part of Hama backing
Haia. 1t is "nip and tuck" as to
which of the two will carry his home
district with the odds slightly in favor
of the latter. Generally speaking
there will be little excitement in re-
gard to election of representatives, as
all the present nominees will surely be
elected as they number but three.
Friends of Goodness believe that
they will carry q majority of the 1877
voters for senators, and hope to defeat
one of the three candidates of the Union
party.
The regular party slate on Maui con-
sists of Messrs. III. p. Baldwin, w. Y.
Homer and A. Hooking for senators,
and Messrs. a. Pail and E. NJ. Hanuna
for representatives.
Mr.. p. 4. Dias of Honolulu who |
was named by the Wailuku conven- |
ton as the third candidate for repre- |
has positively declined to |
run, owing to ill-health. The indie
pendent candidates are William
Goodness of Waikiki for senator, and /
William Haia of Hama for representa-
tive. Independence on Maui seems
fond OF the name of William.
