Him.
He SPOKE WELL OF DAVID
Haole Haters Would Fire the Fence
Straddler From Their
Ticket.

The Independents have not dropped
J. o. Carter and E. C. Macfarlane from
their ticket as stated In an afternoon
paper yesterday.
But trouble is in the air.
The fate Of ]. o. Carter is undecided.
He may be slaughtered by the Wilcox
gang and he may-if contrite and hum
ble-be allowed to purify himself and
enter again into communion with the
haole-hating party.
Carter. according to the Wilcox stand
ard, has committed the objectionable
sin-he advised Hawaiians to vote for
Prince David.
Macfarlane was shrewder.
He too spoke at the Democratic meet
ing Monday night in the orpheum
when Carter erred so deeply. but Mac
farlane confined himself to generalities,
praised everybody present and merely
"cussed" the Republicans, eaying not
. word about David.
T. c-ds of Carter that rankle so

ert- ts4 contained in the following
paragraph:

minisiration Of Grover Cleveland have.

Wai-anS 10 decide for yourselves
whether you go with tho Republican
party or with the Democratic party.
l have decided to go with the Demo-
cratic party If you follow me l shall
lie very glad. The Democrats have
certainly shown you that they have no
feeling against you or against your
chiefs. They have placed at the head
CT their ticket the ALI, Kawananakoa.

IF you wish the success of the tick

hands of as many of your countrymen
I rs pcss bic. / want to say to you again
/ that while / stand with the Demo-
/ cratic party / am not one whit less
\ the friend of the Independents"
/ The particular sentence hardest to
forget or forgive is:
b I can feel for myself that I am proud
Of his Being at the head of the ticket
upon which / hold a position.
The Independent leaders ard some CT
the candidates held a meeting yester-
day afternoon at the party's headquar-
ters. James Quinn was the only haole
taking part in the discussion besides
John Emmeluth who was present to ad-
dress the gathering.
Immediately the matter of Carter's
oIense was brought up and a fierce
argument as to the treatment of the
hoary ocratic-Independent ensued.
Some were for firing him and Macfar-
lane too. out OF the party and for eras-
ing their names at once from the ticket.
Others asked that more moderate
course be pursued and that Macfarlane
who had not preached anti-WilcoS doc
trine be spared and Carter summoned
before them for investigation.
The report of what Carter said at the
Orpheum meeting was read from the
advertiser and 1t was agreed that the
lasseveration of fidelity to the Inde-
pendents contained in Carter's speech
could not cover his heartbreaking plea
for the royal scion.
Some Of the harder-headed natives
said that IL they tolerated Carter as In
dependent they would leave room for
dIsanection against their beloved leader
Wilikoki and that the aforesaid VIII
cox who had departed for Hilo would
raise big row when he returned.
Finally discretion prevailed and II
was concluded to talk with Carter and
: find out If he was "agin" wilcox or
, not.
Macfarlane Is to be patted on the
back. asked to shell out q few more
gold eagles and to be told to watch his
tongue and not go in the path Of the
! sinner Carter.
WILCOX OFF FOR HILO.
|. Bob" Wilcox was a passenger on the
Kinau yesterday for Hilo where he will
,, join the Independent legislative can
didates and make q partial stunpine
tour OF Hawaii. A mass meeting will
be held In the Rainy City Thursday
evening at which Bob" will be the
whole thing" He stated yesterday

, gested to him that he might make con-
