WHICH WINS?

Independent party was evidently not
fully posted on the arrangements al
ready made, as could be clearly seen
from the short speeches in favor Of
at once looking up the Governors ap-
pointments, by Senator Kanuha, Ka-
lauokalani, White. Russell and others.
Mr.. Baldwin pointed out that the
question of taking up the matter to-
day or tomorrow cut no ice, because
under the law the Governor had moth
ing to do with the matter. The whole
question was, in fact, decided by the
terms of the Organic Act

section of the Organic Act bearing on
the question, and said that no mat
ter what was done as to sustaining or
turning down appointments, all the
present office holders would retain their
offices until the end of the present ses-
sion of the Legislature.
Upon this showing vote was taken
on the motion to postpone considera-
ton until next Tuesday, which was
carried.
