TOPICS OF The DAY.

Perhaps the Annexation party
will be pleased to learn that, with
out their knowledge, there have
been several gentlemen from abroad
taking notes of the Hawaiian situs-
tion, and that the consensus of their
ideas, as shortly will appear in lead
ing newspapers of the world, will
not be favorable to the Hawaiian
Republic" or to annexation. 1t
may be permitted to say, with one
of our contemporaries, that they
also compliment Mr.. Dole as being.
a man of the hour.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-12-21

The Hawaiians, to day say that
they will never tolerate annexation
in the manner proposed. The Portu-
guese colony feels ready for any
change which can improve the con-
dition OF the colony here. They
will never again however, blindly
join the men who howl for "pro-
tectorate" or an annexation scheme
which eventually will end in benefit
to the ''iuner circle" and ruin to the
masses.

We cannot go on as we now do.

ment OF Dole or his political asso-
ciates.

sec'y Edgerton Says Republicans Ex-
pect to Buy Their Majorities.

Washington. Oct 3O.-Secreta1-y Edg-
ertOn of the POpulist national commit
tee has isued the following statement;
THE prepOsterOus claims made by
the Republican committees in regard
to the election of Mckinley are made
with the idea of fraud in all the doubt
ful states. Mckinley on a fair vote,
is beaten now by an overwhelming ma
jOrity. The Republicans realize this
Yet, in the face of this, they make
claims of an enormous majority for
Mckinley, but give no figures to back
up their claims. They depend upon
outright purchase of voters and cleo
ton boards to furnish the majorities
they are predicting"
Mr. Edgerton then cites number Of
states claimed by the Republicans and
presents counter claims and figures to
show that they viii be carried by
Bryan, and continues:
why do they make these claims
Simply because they are depending, not
upon any evidence which they now
have Of victory for Mckinley, but upon
what they think Hanna's immense
campaign fund may do
I'VE have evidence that in the cleo
ton next Tuesday fraud will be at
tempted on the most stupendOus scale
ever known in American politics one
plan is to buy up election boards, and,
wherever possible. to actually falslfy
the returns. But the plan on which
they depend is as follows;
In each precinct in each Of the
QQuDlLQl states luGy Will DQS UP P4A-
chasable men in this way: They viii
give q man SO or SIS and pledge him
that after election they will give him
so much more if he holds the vote Of
that precinct to a certain figure. They
viii buy as many men in each precinct
as they can find for sale. Already, in
each of the doubtful states, they have
cappers bought up by the hundreds to
handle Republican money on the last
two days before election and on election
day and the plan viii be to give the
men so much money with a pledge to
double the amount if they hold the
vote of their precinct to a certain fig
iire We have pure evidence that this
is the plan on which Mark Hanna and
his underhngs place their final depend
ence.
IF he does not contemplate whole
sale bribery in the election, why has
he collected such an immense cam
paign fund. fund which probably al
ready reaches many millions Of dollars.
He cannot spend so much money for
the legitimate expenses of the cam
paign Then, for what purpose does
he intend to use it. if not for whole
sale bribery2
The anticipation of what this money
may do furnishes the basis and the
only basis for the claims which the
Republican managers are now making.
I'VE warn the free silver men in all
parts of the country, and especially IN
the doubtful states, TO be on the alert
and we notify all Republican heelers
who propose to distribute this Doodle
that the penitentiary awaits every man
who is caught attempting bribery, CO.

Charge Hanna With the Inten-

Chicago, Oct 30.-Reports from Re
publican chairmen in twelve states
have been received at national head
quarters. The reports from Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas. Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota
and New York give the electoral vote
of each state for Mckinley as certain.
Summarized they make this showing:
IOwa-This state is absolutely sure
for Mckinley by not less than $1,000.
1t may go so geo. We have hard fights
on congressman in Second Sixth and
Eighth, Ninth and Eleventh
Kansas-This state will give not less
than 5000 plurality for Mckinley. This
estimate is based on reliable informa-
ton from every precinct. L believe all
the eight congressman will be elected.
Indiana am confident that McKin-
ley's plurality will not be less than rs
0OO 1t may reach 10000. We are
sure of electing all but three of our
congressman and believe we viii elect
a solid delegation.
NIaryland-We viii elect five out Of
six congressman and give the state to
Mckinley by good majority
New York=Mckinley's majority in
the state win exceed 300, 600. New York
City will give 60 600 majority The
congressional majority viii run from
1000 in this city to 10000 or 1000 in
the Second and Thirty fourth districts.
All Republican candidates for congress
will be elected. A Republican United
States senator will be elected to sue
coed Hill
McKinley's majority in this
state viii reach 1OO. 900.
South DakOta=State gives Mckinley
5000 In this estimate every doubtful
vote is counted against the Repubi-
cans. The Republicans will elect 80
out of zoo members of the legislature
The Democrats have abandoned the
electoral ticket and are putting every
effort into the fight for the legislature.
West Virginia-The state viii give
Mckinley a plurality of not less than
II 0OO All four congressional districts
are safe.
Texas-Reports justify the fact that
Mckinley will carry Texas.
Naturalization Mckinley by $4,000.
