WA1LUKU, October 1S.-Yesterday
afternoon in the skating rink at Wal
luku the Republican party held grand
rally and luau, the largest political
meeting of the season on Maui.
The Kahului railroad ran a free train
from Paia and way stations and the
cars were packed until there was hard
ly standing room, nearly 200 people be-
ing aboard.
In the skating rink five long tables
were set with everything that belongs
to first class luau, and the large crowd
present partook most freely of the
spread. The large building was profu-
sely and tastefully decorated with rope
fern and greens, and the stage was
hung with several large Star Spangled
banners The column in the center
of the building was covered with pic
lures of Samuel Parker, and every
where about the room was spread Re
publican literature. The luau began
about l AS p. m. and continued until af-
ter 3. At the table at the head of the
hall sat Samuel Parker, with Prince
David on one side of him, and w. II.
| Cornwell on the other. BY the side of
| Prince David sat e. X. Lilikalani and
across the table was John Wise, Bert
Peterson and others by him. During the
course of the luau, Prince David arose
and on behalf of the Democratic party
/
Parker, and later Mr. Parker for the
Republican party returned the compli-
ment. Both of these toasts were res
ponded to heartily by all standing.
After every body had eaten to their
satisfaction, the speakers of the day
were called upon by A. n. kepoikai as
chairman of the day George Hons of
| Waikiki opened the ball with an able
! address, and was followed by Philip
Pail of Lahaina, George A. Davis of
Honolulu, Henry Long of Paia, W. c.
| Achi, of Honolulu.
Following Mr. Achi the chairman call
ed Samuel Parker to the stage. Amid
great applause Mr.. Parker spoke briefly
| but to the point and made a very good
| impression. He said his chief aim was
to have Bob Wilcox refeated, and that
! this was also the sentiment of Prince
David. Prince David was a most esti-
| maple young man, but was on the
wrong side and would not be able to get
much recognition from the Republican
! Congress, though he doubted not that
he would work hard for the good of the
country. He said the Democrats were
present to get good square meal, and
TO obtain points to carry on their cam
paign with. He closed by asking every
body to vote a good stright Republican
! ticket, but if there was any one present
who could not consfcientiously vote for
! him, then he hoped they would vote for
Prince David. At the close of Mr. Par
! kers' address William Coelho sang a
song in honor of the Republican stan
dard bearer.
5. Kapu of Honolulu d. H. Kahaule-
| lilo of Nolokai, j. NJ. Kaneakua of Ho-

people were present. Mr.. Parker and
party went to Lahaina by carriage this
morning and will hold a big rally there
