WHAT MCCARTHY SAYS.
! Col. Mccarthy was seen at his home
on Beretania street last evening and
admitted at once that a letter had been
received from Prince David in which
he had announced that he was a re-
ceptive candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Delegate for Congress
The letter came to me this morn
ing" said Col. Mccarthy, "and with it
was a request that it be not given out
to the press. so / am not at liberty to
show it to you. It's substance, how
ever, is that David has been consider
ing the offer Of the nomination which
was rendered to him and that while
before he was not in a position to ac-
cept it, obstacles to his acceptance
have been removed and he is now will
ing to take the nomination if it is Of
fered to him.
II first learned yesterday of Prince
David's intention to accept the nomin-
alton, but the letter did not come to me
our making some changes in our plans
but they will go on about as before ar
ranged. OF course we shall now elimin-
ate the other candidates who were
mentioned and there is no doubt that
David will be nominated at the Ter
rirorial convention.
What will be done about the Isen-
berg matter 1 do not know. We don't
yet know where Mr.. Isenberg stands
lanyway, for we went away before any
thing could be done towards offering
him the nomination. You see at the
Injecting the other evening there were
. number of names suggested as avail
liable timber for Congress and among
them was that of Mr.. Isenberg. We
did not exactly decide to offer him the
nomination but committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon him to see If he
would accept it. He went to Kauai be-
fore anything could be done about it.
: ''By-theway. how did the Advertiser
get that report of that caucus anyway?
We were all thunder struck when we
read 1T in the paper and saw Paul Isen-
bergs picture there. You must have
e had some one located where he could
I hear what was said. 1t was plain
enough that no one gave the meeting
away for some one must have been
there taking notes. No one but news
paper man could have told it as well
as it was told.
"Of course as Mr.. Isenberg has never
: been officially informed of the result Of
the meeting, the committee not having
: had a chance to inform him of what
o was done, it will be easy to let the mat
e ter drop as far as he is concerned, and
e hot laoy 10 " a n
: ance of the candidacy of Prince David.
e There is no danger but that Prince
q David will be nominated. All we need
ed was his consent to run and now that
q we have that the way is easy for us.
y We shall hold the mass meeting Mon
8 day next and at that we shall choose
u the delegates for the Territorial con-
u vention. We shall hold the convention
e about the first of October. The date
% has not yet been settled upon but will
N be as soon as the Democratic Central
i Committee can meet. 1t will be held in
II this city without doubt"
