LoEBENsTEIN's OPINIONS.
Senatorial Candidate Talks Abou,
the Campaign.

HILO. Hawaii. October 6-The Trib-
une says: Hon. A. b. Loebenstein,
senatorial candidate for the First Dis
trict. returned by the Kinau from a
two weeks trip to Honolulu, which in
cluded the Territorial convention, at
which he was chairman of this districts
delegs ton. AS the readers of the Trib-
une already know. Mr.. Loebenstein won
much glory for himself and his district
by the brilliant speech in which he
placed Hon. Samuel Parker in nominal
tion for delegate to Congress.
MIR. LOebenstein is well satisfied
with the work of the convention, and
with the general status of the Republic
can party in Honolulu. where the OPP
position element is however strong.
Fortunately there is now a greater de-
gree of harmony in the Honolulu Re-
publican ranks than a short time ago.
Some OF the men who were most pro-
nounced in their fractional differences
upon both sides have buried the natcn-
common cause.
MIR. Parker accompanied by several
enthusiastic Republicans came down by
the Kinau, and commencing with ko-
hala, will work the territory around
Hilo. Mr.. Loebenstein went out yes
terday to meet them.
Mr.. Loebenstein was somewhat in
dignant, though more amused, at the
Republican caucus held here just before
the district convention and in his alb
sence for the purpose OF working up OPP
I position to his candidacy. The neat
ness with which this scheme was turn
ed down in the convention, and the can
didates favored in the caucus thrown
over, also appealed to his sense of hui
NOR.
with regard TO the disappointed
candidates for nomination boiling the
party because they got left in the con-
vention, and running Independently,
said a local Republican yesterday, L
don't believe in IT. 1t simply weakens
the party without giving any advantage
or benefit to the disgruntled candidate.
might say more particularly that l
think minister's of the gospel have quite
/ enough work cut out for them in the
saving OF souls. for the present. In
fact although one can serve both the
Kingdom of God and the Republican
party at the same time, doubt whether
he can make a speciality of each and
succeed.
MFR. I.oebenstein is the regular NOM
lfuee OF the party from this part OF the
First District. Probably no man OF
greater ability or more experience III
Island political affairs could have been
picked out. and we have no reason tc
suppose ne will use his ability and ex-
lperience for purposes detrimental to the
Territory and the District. The plat
form corresponds with his ideas ex-
pressed long ago. and We have no rea'
son 10 suppose he viii not support II
lin the Legislature. He has enemies
plenty of them. right in the Republican
marty: he's the kind of man that makes
enemies. as most men that amount t.
ANYTHING do. II these men are going e
