conferred upon him. lie called atten-
ton to the fact that In electlng him
the convention was recognizing the Re-
pubicans Of Hawaii.
He came from Republican strong
hold on the big island.

RESUME BUSINESS.
At 1885 Chairman Kaulukou raped
for order and called for the report of
the credentials committee. Chairman
George w. Smith of that committee,
reported eighty regular voters and
proxies present.
Carl S. Smith of Hilo. moved for a
committee of seven on rules.
j. d. Paris amended the motion and
moved for one delegate from each dis
trict.
c. NJ. White moved that the chair
man appoint one member and then APP
point the six chairmen of the districts
making a committee of seven.
George Hons of Waikiki, moved that
the chair appoint one member and that
the other six be elected
d. H. Kahaulelio of Molokai, thought
that as the chairman had been elected
by the convention, surely enough cons
fidence should be placed in him to APP
point the committee.
c. NJ. White protested against such
power being given to the chairman. He
said the chairman had been elected by
vote of 40 to 20. You have succeeded
in getting things your own way" added
Mr.. White, now for Gods sake give
the minority a chance for a word"
Rev. S. l.. Desha made some humor-
Gus remarks and mo bed for a vote.
DESULTORY DISCUSSION.
From this point there was considera-
BILE cross-talking and "scrapping" over
details.
John A. Scott of Hilo, speaking for
the First District, said that he and
his colleagues had utmost confidence in
the ability of the chairman to name the
committee.
w. ]. Lowrey of Spreckelsville, in
sisted that the chairman should appoint
but one man, and the house elect the
remainder.
Mr.. Kahaulelio arose to speak again
Mr.. Loebenstein raised the point that
he had spoken once, and should be ruled
out. The point was ruled as well taken.
c. p. Iaukea of Waialua, thought the
convention was frittering time on mat
ters belonging to a permanent organi-
cation. Unless everything was perma-
nent a set of rules could not be adopted
anyway.
Mr.. Hons amendment to the amend
ment was put and lost.
Mr.. Paris amendment was put and
carried.
CHAIR APPOINTS COMMITTEE.
The following appointments were
made by the chair: Judge Carl S.
/ Smith, first district; e. A. Fraser, sec
ond w. O. Aiken. third; Cecil Brown
fourth; w. c. Achi, fifth; j. X. Ka-
punaai, sixth; Judge ]. w. Kalua, at
large.
C. NJ. White moved for a committee
of five on resolutions.
Mr. Iaukea insisted that there should
be no further committees until perma.
nent organization is effected He
moved that all other motions be de-
ferred until there is a permanent chair
man and organization. Motion lost.
| Mr.. Whites motion carried.
The chairman appointed the follow
ing:
a. G. NJ. Robertson, A. N. Kepoikai,
C. P. Iaukea, George w. Smith and
A. b. Loebenstein.
George w. Smith moved out of res
pect to Memorial Day that a recess be
taken to 1880 p. m. Carried.
At the meeting of the Republican con-
Vention tonight the committees will re-
port on permanent organization, rules,
etc. 1t is probable that the meeting
will then proceed to elect delegates to
the Philadelphia convention, as some
of the country members wish to finish
this matter today. The caucuses have
about decided to send four men. There
is an uncertainty as to the legal num-
Der, however, and six may really be
named.
