EARLY HAWAII.

Historical Address Delivered at the
There was large attendance at
the open meeting of the Y. H. l
held Thursday evening. Five ma
tive members of the LEGISLATURE
were present. Mr.. J. M. Poepoe's
paper was a jewel Of literary and
historical production. 1t was read
in Hawaiian, but so we'll was
thought Of it that the Y. II. l. will
have the paper translated into Eng
lish and published.
At one stage the speaker drew
attention to the fact that Biblical
events, as related in the Old Tesla
ment, were familiar to the Abort
gines from time immemorial. Hun
dreds Of years before the Islands
were discovered, meles were COM
posed on the subject Of the genesis
Of man, the flood, the persecution
of the Israelites in Egypt, the pas
sage of the Red Sea, Canaan and
the promise OF a Saviour. The
Bible came as a corroboration of
the old traditions. For half hour
Mr.. Poepoe was listened to with
intense interest, and applause fol.
lowed the conclusion of his speech.

nee to Get All the Votes He Can.
From the Atlanta Journal.
CHICAGO, Sept 4.-Hon. William j E.
Bryan will accept the nomination tender
ed him by the populists. Chairman
Jones has given out for publication a
letter from Mr.. Sewall which shows that
he does not object to such action on the
part of Mr.. Bryan.
The letter is as follows:
"July %, 1896.-W. j. Bryan, Lin
coin, Neb.
my Dear Mr.. Bryan-In view OF the
action of the St. Louis convention can
not refrain from giving you my thoughts
on the situation. My advices are that
you have been nominated as candidate
for president and Mr.. Watson for vice
president. l also learn from press dis
patches that you are somewhat undecid-
ed whether you ought to accept or de
cline.
Now, l desire to say to you with the
utmost frankness and good feeling that
you must not allow any personal consid-
Grafton for me to influence you in your
action. | desire you will do just what
you believe is best for the success of our
ticket. The principles we are fighting
4Ot dA6 80 paramount 10 any personal
consideration that the latter should not
have any weight Or influence whatever
with your action. l cannot for mo-
ment allow myself to be factio0 in any
action on your part that would in the
slightest degree hazard an elecoral vote
for you.
with kind regards for Mrs. Bryan,
believe me your sincere friend,
"ARTHUR SEwALL."
1t will be noticed that the letter is dat
ed about six weeks ago. The explana-
ton is as follows: Several days ago
Chairman Jones wrote to Mr.. Sewal
stating that many democrats throughout
the country, and especially throughout
the west, were objecting to fusion with
the populsts on electoral tickets for the
reason that they did not wish to be dis
loyal to Mr.. SewalL In reply to Chair
man Jones Mr.. Sewall forwarded COPY
of the foregoing letter.
This is the explanation published off
cially, but the general impression on
hearing of such letter having been
written was that it amounted to Sew
all's resignation Sat any time that the
good of the cause demands it.''
Chairman Jones denies that there is
anything about withdrawal, either ex-
pressed or intlmated, in the letter.

But the Clerk Knocked Him Down and
Had Him Arrested.

MACON, GA, Sept. 2.-Tonight an un
known white man walked into the
Brown House drug store while num-
Der of customers were present. Clerk
Eugene Britton was the only employe in
the store. He asked the unknown what
he wished. He replied:

to the other customers. | wish to see
you privately"
AS soon as all the others had departed
the unknown put his hand on his pocket
and demanded that Britton open the
store safe and give him 500. He seem
ed desperate, Britton knocked him
down aad showed him out of the store.
The unknown man was arrested and
locked up. 1t is said that he as sober.
His conduct was mystifying, as the oc-
currence happened at an early hour
while many persons were passing on the
sidewalk.

FIRST EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS,
Hon. Charles f. Crisp Begins His Cam.
paign With an Able Speech,


paign With an Able Speech,
ROME, GA, Sept. 2-The opera house
was crowded today to greet Mr.. Crisp,
who made his first speech during this
campaign. He was introduced very .elo-
quently by Congressman Maddox.
Mr.. Crisp was quite un we'll this morn
ing, suffering with pains in the chest
and around the heart, but he made a
capital speech, logical and delivered with
that quiet earnestness characteristic of
his addresses.
He made an exhaustive argument on
the silver question and expressed his be-
lief that the United States could easily
maintain the parity of gold and silver
with free coinage of silver at 16 to 1.
He showed the populists where vote for
Watson meant vote against free silver,
and if they truly desired free silver they
should vote for Bryan and Sewall.
1t was very able speech for free sill
yer and the democratic ticket, the best
the Romans ever heard.

ANOTHER GRAND STAND PLAY.

Since Chairman Clay put quletus
on the letter writing propensity OF
Chairman Cunningham of the pOpulist
comittee in reference to a division of
managers at the election precincts,
that gentleman has adopted another
tack. Despite the fact that Chairman
Clay has not only recommended the di
vision asked for by the populist chair
man, but has also recommended a di-
vision with the republicans in the No
vember election, the pOpulist chair
man persists in trying to make the peo-
pie believe that it is the deliberate pur-
pose of the democrats to count them
out in the state election by refusing
them representation at the ballot
boxes. In order 80 stir up as much
feeling of this sort as possible the
pOpulists have followed the plan that
was used by the populists of North
Carolina, which was to have delega-
tions of populists wait upon the author
tiles of each county and demand a di-
vision of managers and clerks. This
little farce comedy is to be enacted
in all the counties on the same day,
September 22nd.
There will be division of managers
in Terrell county, and our populists
friends may save themselves the trouble
of carrying out the programme here.

THE democratic candidate for the
presidency spoke to ten acres of people
in Columbus, Ohio, the other day. The
crowd was so vast that it became neces-
sary for Mr.. Bryan to speak from four
different platforms in order to reach his
hearers. Ten acres of people and four
speeches to one gathering sounds pref
ty big, but that's what it was.

The people generally will regret to
hear that Hon. Chas. F. Crisp's health
is too poor to permit his taking part
in the campaign; not that his services
are urgently needed to insure the
success of the democratic party in the
state, but because they like to hear him
speak, and are sincerely sorry that he
is not in rugged health. 1t is to be
hoped that this great mans health will
soon be completely restored and the
country given many more years of his
service.
