REPUBLICANS WILL RATIH .COURT WILL LOOK SNELL|
WAITING FOR ARRIVAL OF THE
NATIONAL DELEGATES.
Steamer to be Met at Wharf by Big
Crowd and Band-Parade and Speak
ing at Night.


Preparations are nearly completed for
holding the first Republican ratihca-
ton i'm the Territory. The occasion will
be the return of the party delegates
from the National Republican Conven-
tion at Philadelphia, They are expected
to arrive here on the steamer Rio to-
morrow morning from San Francisco.
All of the leading members of the par
ty. have been notified of the affair, and
it is expected that 1t will prove success
full i'm every way. There will be a re-
ception to the delegates upon landing
and in the evening big parade follow
ing which speech making at the Drill
Shed, will be held The special commit
tee. consisting of w. r. Harrington,
chairman; j H. Boyd and Enoch john
son, has had but little time in which
to arrange for the ratification of the
nomination of Mckinley and Roosevelt,
but within the short period they have
had, wonders have been accomplished,
and now only a few details for the pa
rade remain.
Col ]. H. Fisher has been appointed
grand marshal of the parade.
Arrangements have been made with
the electric plant managers to blow the
whistle longer than usual as soon as
the vessel is sighted. This will be the
signal for the executive committee and
others to gather at the wharf to receive
the delegates. The band will be in at
tendance. Inasmuch as the affair is of
a public character, it is expected that
an unusually large crowd will greet the
delegates. owing to the quarantine re-
strctiOns it will be impossible for any
one to visit the ship until she is passed
upon by the boarding officer. 1t is
probable, however, that some members
of the committee will meet the vessel
in small boats in the stream and ac-
company her to the dock, and perhaps
board the Rio before the gang plank is
| lowered.
From the wharf the party will be es-
corted in carriages to the Hawaiian
| Hotel, or whatever place they may de-
| sire. The morning and afternoon will
be devoted to informal receptions by
the delegates, and at $50 p. m. the
band will give short concert in the
| hotel grounds.
| At $50 p. m. the various clubs and
organizations which are to take part in
| the parade will meet at the Drill Shed.
| The column will form at the Drill Shed
| Miller and Beretania streets. The line
| of march will be along Beretania street
to Emma to Vineyard to Fort, to Hotel
| to Nuuanu street. The column will
move down Nuuanu street to Merchant
thence to Fort, up Fort to Hotel to the

The column will carry torches Lorrir
Andrews, president of the Young Mems
Republican Club, was very hopeful OF
the showing which would be made by
that organization. Notices have beer
sent to the precinct clubs, and 1t Is eN
pected that they will turn out in large
force. 1t has not been determined
whether the delegates will participate
in the parade or not
Few of the precinct clubs held meet
ings last night to arrange about par
ticipating in the celebration Invitations
were sent to all of the various chairmel
and presidents of these organizations
but owing to the limited time in whicl
, the executive committee had to Motif!
the subordinate organizations, some o
the chairmen issued no calls, so meet

were ready to attend. The Fourth Pre-
Cinct Club of the Fourth District, wer
to have held a meeting in the Y. M. G
A. Hall last night, but no quorum wa
