CAMPAIGN OPENED.

The meeting last night by whicl
the annexation campaign was for

not 50 much by wild enthusiasm
as by the general atmosphere OF
sound businessIike determination
Honolulu has seen larger and
more uproarious political meet

when the country was in the
throeS of civil dissension and the
political feeling was wrought up

is different. Thanks to the kindly
guidance of the ruler of all ma
tions and the good sense Of our
people. the citizens are able TO
gather 10 consider calmly and
with malice toward none the cold
proposition OF the best methods TO
pursue in obtaining annexation to
the United States. No bands are
playing, there is no whOop and
hurrah born of overweight feel
ings. but business-pure, honest,
patriotic business-pervades the
political mind of the country.
With the prospect for annex
alton remarkably good, the first
step is to marshal the annexation
forces, get men into the political
harness again, and by careful or
ganization prepare for whatever
demands the future may bring.
Nothing but unqualified success
has attended the first number of
the annexation program. The
first call of the Annexation Club
was responded to by a large and
thoroughly representative assem-
bly,, and the board of officers elect

To add new names to the Annex

REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS OF
THAT NATIONALITY ARE FOR
SOUND MONEY.
MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT,
TO FORMING Al
ORGANIZATION TO FIGHT
FREE SILVER.
WHITE METAL MEN ARE ACTIVE
Calls for a Number OF Meetings to
Form Bryan and sewaI Clubs
Local Politics.

About sixty German-American citi-
zens met last night In the old munich
pal court room in the market building
for the purpose Of forming a sound
money league. Among those present
were Theodore Sander. Otto Kuefner,
Albert Scheffer, William Theobald,
Samuel Lowenstein, j. H. Alderman,
Albert Schaedlich, DR.. Ernst Schrader,
7 pr: J. Ohage, DIR. G. Stamm. DR. FL. N.
Hahn. DIR. FL. J. Meyerding, Dr. A
Hinsch, G. L. Horst, J. C. Reichart and
others.
N Otto Kuefner called the meeting to
order. Mr.. Kuefner said that when a
necessity like the present arose the
people must do their utmost to save
their country. Today the country was
threatened with a calamity greater
than the late war. The German-Amer-
lean citizens had heard the call, and
were responding all over the country.
Mr.. Kuefner concluded his remarks
with the statement that the organiza-
ton of German-American citizens was
to be absolutely non-partisan.
Mr.. Lowenstein then nominated DIR.
Schrader for temporary chairman. DIR.
Schrader was elected by reclamation.
In accepting the office. DIR. Schrader
said that he had been a lifelong DEM
ocrat. and as such he had always stood
ready to sacrifice everything in. reason
to carry into effect those great Demo-
cratic principles that have existed
from Jefferson TO Cleveland But since
the adoption of that nonsensical plat
form by the Chicago convention he
would-weH, he was at loss for words
to express his disgust. He would only
say that the danger was a great one,
but, If the citizens did their duty, they
would put to route the silVerites.
AS the preliminary step towards eff
fecting a permanent organization, Al
bert Scheffer moved that committee
of two from each ward and three from
the country be appointed to report at
the next meeting a plan of organiza-
ton and list of permanent officers.
The motion prevailed
8 The chair then appointed Messrs.
Kuefner, TheobaId and Sander a COM
mittee to secure quarters for future
meetings. Before adjournment DIR.
Hinsch, Dr.: Stamm, Henry Fromm and
E. Ref addressed the meeting, where
upon it adjourned until next Wednes-
day night.

FRESH POLITICAL NEWS.
Capt. Castles Name Sprung for
Possible Position.


Capt. Henry A. Castle is the newest
complication in the board OF public
works matter. Even If not a willing
candidate for the place that George N.

gage on, the postmaster is being
groomed for the place by enthusiastic
friends These friendly gentlemen say
that Capt. Castle has been here 50 long
and knows the city so well that he
could administer such an important po--
sition better than either John Cope
land or George Warren. The contest
will really be between Castle and Cope
land now, for Warren is regarded as
having no chance whatever with Mayor

claims on the help he had given the
mayor during the spring ;, campaign,
but the Castle men say that Warren's'
strength was of very little account
compared to what the postmaster and
his friends did. Castle made a number Of
speeches for Doran, it is true; but War

afternoon by Detectives Gruber and
Murnane, charged with breaking into
a freight car on the 500 line Ford, who

away. The property has nearly all been
recovered in Minneapolis through the
efforts of Detectives Courtney and

the car was opened turns out to be
within the limits of Ramsey county

over twenty-five years, and during that
time a great and prosperous people, a
people laboring to carry out the injunc-
ton to make two blades of grass grow
where one grew before, have performed
theirsduty in the eyes of God and man,
and have made this country blossom
like rose, as far as creating wealth
was concerned; yet during this time of
unexampied creation of wealth, of un-
