ing MIR. Naone.

/ Inc Nnmlnatlng Convention vii be
called to order at the American League
hall by Mr.. j. a. Kenndy at 9 O'Clock
saturday afternoon. The hall has been
appropriately decorated by workmen
under the supervision of Mr. Kennedy
and the arrangement is such as to meet
the requirements of the convention.
The colois u be used will be the Hawa-
iian and American flags blended On
/ the whole the convention hall will he
pretty and such as to create lasting
memory upon those who attend.
The public is invited, and doubtless a
large number Of people will be present.
There will be seats provided for those
who attend, and a railing will separate
the convention so that the work may be
carried on with dispatch. The work
will probably continue throughout the
afternoon and be taken up at the even
ing session. In all probability the full
duties of the convention will not be
finished before or 10 O'Clock p. III.
Changes in the probable slate for the
Senate and House have been noted with
in the past twenty-four hours. Some Of
the delegates deny that a slate is in ex-
istence, or that any plans with regard
to candidates have been agreed upon, but
it seems hardly fair to reiterate such a
thing from the fact that names are
freely discussed for endorsement. A
canvass of some of the talked about"
is interesting.
Mr.. J. b. Castle has, from the start,
been considered a candidate for Sena-
torial honors. A morning paper goes so
far as to commit Mr.. Castle to the rnce.
However, though Nj. Castle is one Of
the best Of men for the Senate, is sound
on annexation and has affiliated with
the party from beginning to end. he
will not permit his name to be placed in
nomination. He requests the STAR
to say that for personal and business
reasons he will not stand as a candidate
for any position in the Legislature.
With respect to this it is learned on
the outside that the Government, ap.
preciating the excellent services Of Mr..
Castle in the custom house and fearing
that other duties might initiate
against the efficiency of his present
work, has requested Mr.. Castle not to
accept the nomination. 1t is understood
the Minister of Finance has most directly
made this request III letter which
finds occasion to pay Mr.. Castle high
compliment for his past services to the
Government.
John Emmeluth announces himself as
candidate and says his banner is IAN
nexation." He continues to say that up
to forty EIGHT hours ago he was candi-
date, but with little concern in his per-
sonal election. Now. however, after
realizing the facts contained in the cor
respondence Of "Annexatio nist" in
Thursdays STAR and feeling the true
situation, he will run as an annexation
ist and do all in his power to elect him-
self and wishes the support of none but
straight and true annexationists.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Henry
Waterhouse is a candidate for the SEN
ate He has the endorsement of large
number of voters and will stand a
strong race. Mr.. Warehouse said
today: Il am an annexationist and
always have been. Do not see that any
question should ever be raised on that
point. approve of the sentiments of
"Annexationist" in Thursdays STAR,
believe the remarks were timely and
correct. Annexation" is my platform
and upon that will always be found. y
Mr.. j. A. McCandless is freely spoken
of for the Senate. He has many sup
porters, many friends in the Convention
and will stand well. From the first he
has been humorously styled Senator
McCandless," and that is about wher,
the people will put him. Mr.. McCand
less holds out that he is an annexation
list, but the fact is too well established
to need reiteration.
Mr.. p. C. Jones says he is not in poll
tics and slyly asserts that he is not
candidate for the Senate. But back o
it all Mr.. Jones knows full wei
that he is one of the "elect
and his nomination for the Senate is no
two days off. True, he has not WORKED
in his own behalf, and has rattle
avoided entering the campaign; but tn
campaign has not avoided him.
The friends of Mr.. IL. w. Schmidt
the composer are working earnestly il
: his behalf. Mr.. Schmidt is believed +
firm Annexationist and il is the gen
eral opinion that he is safe man i
which to trust the destiny of the youn
Republic.
