.. Tho registration of voters for this
electionis now proceeding, but has been
very slow, only SAT having taken the
oath necessary to qualify as ELECTORS. Of
these the greater majority are whites
and Portuguese, the natives being kept
from registration by their leaders, who
are nearly all Royalists. These leaders
openly acknowledge that they are at
tempting to keep the natives from the
polls, and one political society has even
had printed in a Royalist paper a long an
nouncement to the effect that the
natives should have nothing whatever to
do with the election. as the provisional
government is not a government of the
people, and cannot last, and that the
vengeance of the qneen will be visited
t pom all disloyal subjects when she re-
ascends the throne. The American
Union party, although in complete con-
troll Of politics, has met with opposition
on the islands of Maui and Hawai-, the
largest islands Of the groups. The an
nexationists, who are all connected with
the plantations, have strenuously objected
to the part of the platform that excludes
Chinese labor, and have formed party
clubs under the old platform providing
for Asiatic labor, under proper %restric-
tons.
The new central committee of the
American Union party has begun the
warfare against the japanese obtaining
the franchise, having passed a stringent
resolution to that effect at its first meet
ing. All the party clubs have passed
similar resolutions, but the japanese
still claim that they are. entitled to re-
cognition and will have rights equal to
those OF other foreigners.
