the needs of Independents and to re-
port them to the officers. About 175
members are said to be interested in
the work.

had not selected secretary as yet.
William White of Lahaina, who is in
the city and who was said to have been
appointed as Wilcoxs secretary said
yesterday that he was not sure that he
would take the position. He said that
his friends had urged him to remain
in the Senate to which he had been
elected.

Yesterdays Advertiser that White
would probably be WilcoX's secretary
was made by Matt Mccain and ID. II.

brought to bear on Wilcox to appoint

to this appointee.
The reported proposed fusion at the
next election of the Democrats and In

Democrats are making frantic efforts
to bring about this fusion, and the In
dependents are listening to their
honeyed talk. The Democrats urge
that they have lots of money and that
with the great number of Independents
the two parties as one could control
everything.
Wilcox is favorable to the fusion on
conditions. At the meeting on
