THE ONLY CANDIDATE.

1HE ONL1
There ia information from various !
sources that the campaign OF the only
Candidate for the future goyernorshlp |
is now actively carried on among the |
natives. and they are urged to sign a |
petition to President Mckinley, asking |
him not to appoint to the office OF gov
ernor any person connected with the |
recent revolution on the Islands.
Whether or not the name OF Mr. |
sewau is mentioned in the petition, We |
do not know It is quite possible that |
it is written in invisible ink, and at the !
right moment will be developed In |
Washington, by the use of the usual
political chemicals. The natives are |
told however, that Mr.. Sewall is can
didate for governor. On the other hand'
they are also told with the usual cam
paign regard for the truth, that the
men who are identified with the present
Government, and were the leaders III
decentralization, are a mean lot and no
one of them fit for the position OF
governor. This is their literature III
the English language. The preJudlces
of the natives are stirred up against
men who were born on these Islands,
andinword and deed, in season and out
of season. have befriended them. The
native Royalsts make the inference as
they naturally should, that they are
asked to support a candidate who had
nothing to do with the overthrow OF
the Monarchy, and therefore, would not
have favored it, if he had lived here at
the time of the revolution. 1t IS only
fairtoMr Sewall to say, that there is no
evidence before us, that he has suggest
ad TO the natives that he would have
opposed the revolution if called upon TO
take a stand in 1893 That his agents,
however, will readily suggest 1T, or
worse than that, knowingly permit the
natives to make the inference, may be
expected.
The object in sending petition,
signed by the natives, to Washington
is to deeply impress President McKin-
ley with the fact that Mr.. Sewall is the
choice of the people-another Barrabas
selection-and that he is Castoria
candidate for whom not only the emil
dren cry" but those in middle life and
the aged also shout.
The body polite here, owing to
complication of Asiatic and other kind:
of disease, is not in the best of health
and no doubt needs a dose of politlca
Castoria, in order to remove the 1rregu
larities of digestion. Mr.. Sewells posi-
ton Is that in himself alone can bt
found the true Castoria, "especiall,
prepared for tropical use." OF course
this proposition carries with it the
counterpropositiont the natives ant
whites must understand that any othe
dose than the one labelled "Sewalls
Castoria," will be badly adulteratet
