MAUI, October 2O.-Saturday evening,
the 18th, a grand luau and campaign
meeting was held by Lahana Republi
cans in the beautiful grounds of the
courthouse. In the mauka part of the
yard huge lanai had been erected which
brilliantly lighted by many lanterns pre-
scented a pleasing appearance Between
three and four hundred people enjoyed
the feast and applauded the political
speeches. d. II. Kahaulelio spoke before
the luau and afterward addresses were
made by Messrs. H. p Baldwin, w. c.
Achi, +. Johnson, Philip Pail, George
Hons, w. j. Coelho and Hon. Samuel

and Achis remarks, devoid of personal
reference-which he said was the chief
argument of his political opponents
were much appreciated.

Politics and arithmetic are evidently
not kindred sciences, for. though there
are but 2,05S registered voters on Maui,
still the Independents claim 1000, the
Democrats $50 Cor their Senatorial tick
eD, and the Republicans good MAORI
ty for Samuel Parker II. P. Baldwin and
