key, Superior Conn
mander, to be
Present.
The plan as outlined by District
Deputy l. N. Chellew, of st. Paul, who
is in charge of the affairs is as fol-
lows:
Sank Centre being the hub as 1t were
of territory which is accessible by
railroads which enter it like the spokes
in a wheel, and which contains twenty
local organizations within a radius of
fifty miles, it is proposed that each
Tent get together as large class Of
candidates as possible, which will be
brought to this city for initiation,
when the work will be fully exempli-
fed. d
Reduced rates will be secured from
all roads entering the city II possible,
and the indications at present are that
one thousand people will be present
from the outside, and the prospects
are bright for class of at least three
hundred candidates. Sauks Center
has agreed to furnish fifty with the
assistance of FL. p. .Strycker, d. S. c.,
who will remain in charge of the local
work.
A great street parade will be ar
ranged for the occasion, and as all
trains will arrive about the noon hour
the large class will be admitted DUR
ing the afternoon. y banquet will be
provided by the Ladies of the Macca-
bees at about 6 p. m. after which a
grand public reception will take place
at the opera house, consisting of a
musical and literary program and an
address by Hon. D. P. Markey, SUI.
perior Commander, of Port Huron,
Mich, who is considered to be one of
the most fluent speakers, and best
posted men on fraternal beneficiary
orders in the country. Farther de-
tails will be made known later as the
work progresses

! vent Of some dark horse" who may or
may not have been carefully groomed
| for the occasion.
Nearly q generation elapsed before
| the Democrats departed from their ira
ditional custom and held a convention
| in the west. Baltimore was their
favorite until it came to be known
as the Convention City, but in 1896
they met in Cincinnati, where Buchan-
an was nominated on the seventeenth
ballot The national convention of 1860
! was held in Charleston. S. c., but the
| result after 81 ballots being mo choice,
it was adjourned to meet at Baltimore,
Douglas being nominated on the second
ballot At last, in 1864, the rising west
was recognized by the selection of Chi
/ cage, in which city the Republicans had
met four years previously, and here, on
| the first and only ballot, General Nc
! Clellan was nominated as the candidate.
! In 1868 the pendulum swung east
again. and New York was the chosen
| city, with Seymour, son of New YORK
| state. nominated on the twenty second
| ballot. In 1872, when Greeley was nom
mated on the first ballot, the conven-
| ton was held. at Baltimore again. this
being the fifth time that city had been
so honored. The convention of 1876 met
in ST Louis and nominated Tilden on
the second ballot. That of 1880 was
held in Cincinnati, when, after the sec
ond ballot, Hancock was nominated by
reclamation.
Chicago was revisited after an alb
sence of 90 years in 1884. and on the
second ballot Cleveland was nominated.
In 1883 the convention assembled in st.
Louis, and Cleveland was renominated
| by reclamation and without ballot.
! In 1892 the scene was again shifted to
| Chicago, with the same candidate as at
| the two preceding conventions. This
| time Cleveland was nominated on the
/ first ballot.

ct WAS a bold stroke for the Demo-
Gratis to decide that not only should
- their great national convention pc
held farther west than ever before, Dul
that it should also open on the touFth
of July.
The caldron will begin to sizzle on the
night of the Sd, it will possibly Doll
over on the Fourth and inundate the
whole region roundabout before the
machinery of the convention is IN run

the 5th. Even then there will be further

been here nearly a week conversing
with men of every class of business and

bued with an all pervading desire to
make of convention week noteworthy
event without regard to personal feel
ings or affiliations.
AS brother Americans, those who re-
side outside this enterprisng city will
have to admire the grit and peTsever-
ance of the committee having this con-
vention in charge. 1t was less than
three months aGo, or on April last,
that 1ne magnificent convention hall,
ten nearly constructed, was burned to

The more they get 1t in the neck the
less liable they are to give in. You
can't down them"
If my brief acquaintance with them
and the history Of this vast enterprise
tainly cannot down Them or, if you
get them down you can't hold them
there. AS soon as the committee saw
the ruins of their pet creation, upon
which they and all their fellow citizens
had counted as the future home of
many a convention, and upon which
they had lavished their energy and dol
lars, they lost no time in getting up it's
successor. Contracts were made by
phone and wire, premiums were prom
ised for extra work and material, and
three days after the fire the irons was
being wrought in the mills for use in
the new structure. Eighteen days aft
er the fire a special train brought the
first great truSses from Minneapolis to
Kansas City, and ever since, by day
and by night, the work has been going
on without intermission. And it is still
going on, with threats and promises
held over the contractors, who are
bending every energy to complete their
gigantic task in time. If the contractors
had not succeeded in having the last
great truss in place by the 18th of June,
they would have had the pleasure of
putting up temporary roof at their
own expense. The laborers demanded
and got time and a half for all day
work over eight hours and double pay
for night work: but it went on just the
same hundreds of electric lights and
barrels of money furnishing the need
full illumination and inducements.
So here it is at last, yawning for the
crowds that are to fill it, coming from
every part of the Union. It's exterior
dimensions are 1913 by 314 feet, it's floor
space is 1853, 100 square feet, and it's to-
tai seating capacity is estimated at
22,260. The arena balcony is to seat
$500, the stage 500, east of stage 500,
second gallery $500, the roof garden
gallery 5000, arena floor. where the del
egates and their alternates will be seat
ed. 1850; press quarters 600, roof garden

above the throng in opposition to the

Chicago in 1896.
A more dramatic convention than
that of 1896, all are agreed, even here,
it would be difficult to evoke, and, while
a more yociferous one may be possible.
it is considered improbable. Still we
have hopes that the great combination
will Guido all other attempts, as has
been said. The nearest the Democrats
have come to holding a convention on
the Fourth OF July before was at that
same session in Chicago, which opened
July and nominated Bryan July 10.
The next nearest was that of 1884,
which opened July and nominated
Cleveland three days Letter. One of
these candidates was defeated and one
carried the Democratic banner to vic
tory, both starting out in the month Of
July.

Having taken the responsibility for
leaving Hilo in the lurch as regards its
urgent request for the Republican con-
vention, the Republican Executive conf
mittee must of necessity take upon
itself the responsibility of promoting
such measures as will carry the Hilo
district for the Republican party. The
only claim put forward by those advo-
eating the convention for Hilo was
that OF political necessity to strengthen
the party in this particular district OF
Hawaii The only basis on which the
decision could be made against Hilo is
the confidence on the part of the ma
jority of the executive committee that
equally effective measures can be in
stituted for bracing up the party Or
ganizatlon at a weak point. 1t now
remains for these measures which the
committee may have in mind to be a.
lively forwarded. Activity, immediate
and forceful will assure the united sup
port Of the party.

Superintendent McCandless Is not .
man Of promises II he is to be Judged
by his actions at the meeting on Mon
day night It can be said rather he Is a
man of action. He stated to his hear
ers then the true condition OF financial
affairs of the Government, said there
was no money in the treasury for i'm
mediate improvements and made sug-
gestions as to what was needed -
make Hilo more inviting to the public
and more sanitary. He pointed out
things that were needed; his preds-
cessors in Office usually combattcd
every improvement plan suggested AMI
opposed measures advanced by Hilo
people. The question Of opening
Bridge street has been before the Gov
eminent for four years and yet not a
move has been made beyond stalking
out the lines. Every time the matter
has been mentioned the argument of
the movers has been met with argu-
ments which the people of Hilo seem
not to have been able to overcome.
But not so with Mr.. McCandless: he
says the opening Of Bridge street is Of
more Importance to the town of Hilo
than any other proposed improvement
aside from the breakwater. Further
than that he suggests way in which
II may be done to the least expense 10
the taxpayer.
