John F. Colburn moved that a COM

district to go over the names and re-
| duce the number on each ticket to six.
| This carried and the following were

a recess of a half hour was then de-
clared during which the negro min
| strels put on a program to keep the
audience amused. The Orpheum or
chestra supplied music. When the COM
mittees returned the names finally APP
proved were reported.
G. r. Dement, moved that the report
be adopted, which meant the approval
of the tickets. John f. Colburn made
quite a long speech, advocating the
name of T. r. Lucas in place of c. w.
Booth and critiCisng the committee for
turning Lucas down. He stated that
the latter was a man of legislative eX-
perience while Booth was young and in
experienced. He offered an amendment
to the report, scratching Mr.. Booth and
substituting Lucas.
William Wagner the contractor arose
and began to talk in support of Mr.. Col
burns motion. You are out of order,
Mr.. Wagner" interrupted the chair
main; you are a Republican and have
no voice in this meeting"
S. *. Kaloa supported the ticket as
brought in by the committee and in a
lengthy speech sang the praises of Mr..
Booth. He added that he had a special
reason for opposing Mr.. Lucas and
that was that the contractor was in
favor of a nine-hour day as against the
eight -hour day desired by the laboring
classes.
W. A. Kinney said he felt RESPONSE
BILE for the name of Mr.. Booth in the
convention, as it was largely on account
of his (Kinney's) personal solicitation
that Mr.. Booth had consented to come
out. He desired to withdraw the name,
as he did not wish to have Mr.. Booth
attacked in the meeting. At that point
there were cries all over the house of
mo, no" and don't do it."
Mr. Colburn's amendment was then
put and lost. The report was then
adopted
Delegates to the Territorial conven-
ton We're then named. AS there We're
just thirty-siX names, the list was cleo
ted by reclamation.
E. b. Mechanism moved that the
convention elect eighteen alternates to
take the places of men who might not
be able to attend. Some one in the
house suggested that the district dele
cations should fill their own vacancies,
if any, or that a delegate not being
able to attend could give his proxy to
some one else. Mr. McClanahan in
sisted, however, that the convention
should name every man who may re-
present the district, and that the dele
cations should be complete. The mo-
ton was put and carried, and the cleo
ton of the eighteen alternates went
ahead.
w. S. Withers moved that the dele
gates be instructed to vote in conven-
ton for Prince David Kawananakoa
as the candidate of the party for dele
gate to Congress. This suggestion was
received with whoop and the motion
unanimously prevailed.
John Wise addressed the meeting in
Hawaiian following which a motion to
