Republicans ut Hilo. iad'e''
That the Republican party in Hilo is
in state of acute as well as chronic
good health was shown by the enthu-
siasm 1t brought to the fore last Mon
day to welcome Hon. Sam Parker ana
other candidates who arrived here upon
their campaigning tour of the Island
says the Iiilo Tribune. The party GER
tainly claim the credit of instituting the
first torchllght procession the town has
seen, and Ii was a good one, too.
Torchlights may not be valid argu-
mcnts from the point of view of logic.
is to awaken interest on the part OF
the hoi polloi, or the "Mutable Many"
as Robert Barr would call them, and
draw them to the place where they
may receive instruction that shall
serve for their political enlightenment
This, at any rate was the result on
Monday night, judging from the crowd
crowd larger than any other party
which has done campaign work in Hilo
can boast.
On the platform at the market were
James Glib Of the Territorial executive
committee. II. c. Ridgway, vice presi-
dent of the Republican Precinct Club
of Hilo; Judge Gilbert r. Little, and
the following invited speakers: Hon.
Sam Parker, candidate for Congress-
ional Delegate; A. Il. Loebenstein, c. II.

j. d. PARIS TALKED.
C. r. Blacow of Hamakua opened the
speech making program of the evening
with statement of the reasons why
he was a Republican. He was followed
by Messrs. Ridgway and Coelho, who
read the Republican Territorial plat
form. in English and Hawaiian. re-
spectively. Music was then furnished
by a quartet, who in this way very
pleasantly varied the exercises from
time to time during the evening. j. d.
Paris followed with rather extended re-
marks both in English and Hawaiian.
He was emphatic upon the desirability
of local government, and his assertion

gether 1t could take care of Itself and
get what it wanted, met with vigorous
applause. 1t was the more gratifying
as Kona, Mr.. Paris district, has not
been at all inclined to unite
with this side of the Island, and has
shown no particular inclination to adj
vocate home rule.
Attorney Davis of Honolulu gave n
short address of the genuine fireworks
oruer which stirred up those who had
been lulled to sleep by the rather dry
details of Mr.. Paris oratory. Every
body yelled, and though Mr.. Davis did
not spend much breath on strict argu-
ment. he furnished just the element
that was needed at the time.
SAM PARKER ELOQUENT.
II. l.. Holsteln and w. c. Achi spoke
in Hawaiian with good effect, apparent
ly, as their remarks were received with
cheers by the Hawaiians present. Hon,
sam Parker followed Mr. Holstein
speaking in both English and Hawaiian.
MIR. Parker is not as fluent a speaker as
some, and apparently has no set speech
beforehand. He is, however,
clear and logical. and with n tendency
toward humor that is very pleasant. |
MIR. Parker has no hesitation in saying |
he is out to win and that he expects
to. He dwelt particularly upon the |
argument that is being used against |
him by the Democratic speakers, viz, |
that he used his position as Prime Min |
ister under Liliuokalani to precipitate |
her overthrow in '93. re brands the
story as lie, and asks what possible |
object he could have had in overthrow |
Ing his own power.
Mr.. Loebenstein followed Mr.. Achi |
He was cheered loudly and continuous
ly by the Hawailans. and there would ,
seem to be no doubt of his strength |
with them.
CANDIDATES SPOKE.
The three candidates for the House
were then called upon to speak briefly, |
which they did, the hour being late.
They Will have plenty of chances before
election, as they are residents of the
district. Judge Little was scheduled to
wind up the program. but feeling that
he audience had been talked to enough
sor one night, he withdrew.
The good work of the Hilo band upon
he occasion should not be overlooked.
They furnished very necessary stimu-
us both to the parade and by selections
which they rendered from time to time
1t the meeting.
Mr.. Parker and company left on
tuesday morning for Kau, taking spe-
,ial train to nine miles, where they
unched with Mr.. McStocker, manager
