HAWAII.

The Democratic senators opposing
the annexation of Hawaii, undoubt-
eddy for the purpose of embarrassing
the Republicans, except few like the
Pettigrew stripe, who seem to be inte-
rested in the sugar interests, cover
their opposition uuder shs mantle that
lknexation isgopposed to Democratic
Tprinciples During the administration
Of Franklin Pierce, William =. Marcy
was secretary Of State. Mr.. Marcy was
one Of the foremost Of Democratic
and American statesman Of that time.
Under, iastruetisss from PresideAt
Pierce M. Marcy opened nsgotisti ons
Tor the annexation q Hawaii, With the
result that King Kamehameha III in
vited the action, and the Islands would
then have been annexed, had it not
been for the death of the King, before
the treaty could reach him, and his
succession by a king under English
influences, who had married the
adopted daughter of an English ply
stefan. John G. Calhoun, one of the
foremost of Democratic statesman of
his time, thoroughly approved the
system of annexation, and did all in
his power to bring it about.
The action of the present anti-an-
nexationist Senators is sham and friv-
olous, and is merely for the purpose Of
embarrassing the Republicans and re-
tarding the administration in prose-
cutting the war in the Pacific.

CONVENTION O-DAY.


The Republican State convention
meetsin ST. Paul f. day It will nom
mate The Republican candidate for
Governor, and for the various State
Offices, asweH as three nSsul .of
the Supreme bench
The convention can make no mis-
take in selectiDgany one of the three
most prominent cAndidates for Gov
ernor. All three Ae worthy of the
honor, and any oneVof the three will
make Governor of Won the State
will haye the right to feek proud. and
who will command tie full party
strength. Whether it be the brainy
and eloquent Eustis of gracsh man
ners and official etiquette, who is in
the lead, or whether it be that gallant
Winona soldier, Capt. S. r. VanSant,
or whether i be that eminent jurist,
Hon. Loren W. Collins, who has occu-
pied seat on the Supreme Bench for
these many years-the convention will
make no mistake, There will be an
assemblage of the Republican hosts
in November, and they will see to it
that the party ticket is elected.
1t is the same way with the other
officers. For auditor, r. G. Dunn, who
has done so much for the State in ex-
posing the pine land and iron mine
thefts, will undoubtedly be renomin-
ated by reclamation. For secretary
of State, big hearted Albert Berg, will
be nominated, and for clerk of Su-
preme Court D. F. Reese will be
named to succeed himself. Mr.. Justice
Mitchell, Democrat, who is regarded
as one of the best men on the Supreme
bench, will probably be renominated
by the Republicans, while the conven-
ton will have to name two candidates
to succeed Justices Buck and Canty
A warm fight is on for attorney gen
eral, Douglass, Haupt and Merrill all
taking part in it. For treasurer, A
T. Koerner will be renominated with
out opposition, while for lieutenant
governor, Lyndon A. Smith of Monte
video, one of the ablest legal lights in
the western portion of the State, has
no opposition, as vet. He should be
nominated by reclamation.
The ticket that will be nominated

LOOKS LIKE EUSTIS.

At the hour that The GAZETTE went
to press the indications were that the
Republican State convention, meeting
in St. Paul to-day, would nominate
Hon. William Henry Eustis of Mime
apolis as it's candidate for Governor.
That gentleman was long way in
the lead of the other candidates, and
his enthusiastic friends and newspa-
pers, claim that $50 delegates, just IL
short of the required number to NOM
mate, we're to be found in his column
They further claimed that drifters to
his camp before the hour for taking
the first ballot arrived, would be more
than enough to secure his nomination
on that ballot. Certainly he would be
nominated, they claim, before the end
of the third ballot, if such ballot was
necessary, to-day.
