ing the meeting of the Independ-
ent Home Rule Republican Executive
Committee last evening. Then to add
to the prevailing feeling of discomfort
over the turn taken by matters Mrs. r.
w. Wilcox turned in and said few
things about George Markham which
were sufficient to clear the hall. Alto
gether the meeting was exceptionally
successful, from party standpoint.
Election Of five members to the exec
utive committee, to fill the places Of
members dead or resigned, was the pur-
pose of the meeting and 1t took two
hours to effect the choice of the quintet.
The men selected were those who were
nominated in every instance, but in the
choosing the members of the commit
tee registered several kicks which took
time though they did not land. The
men chosen for the vacancies were:
Jonah C. Kalanianaole (Prince Cupid.
Carlos Long, William Kahibaum, Moses
Nakuina and Kaleiopu. OF course the
Prince went through without any OBJ
lection, but the next man got it hard
It was urged that Long would be domi-.
mated by John Colburn, which would
insure Democrat in the councils OF the
party. When Nakuina was mentioned
there was roar that he was a Repub-
lican, but Beclkley thought this was not
a good objection as the party was a
Republican party itself. Then the entire
slate was ratified.
The fact that there was never a rnen-
tion of demanding the designations OF
the older men in the councils of the
party, indicated that the young bIoods
have decided to take it easy and allow
matters to take a course which will
give them the victory later and by less
radical means. There was not a single
thought of asking the resignation of the
chairman, Kalauokalani. according TO
some of the members of the committee,
and he went on with his business just
as IL nothing had been said by the hot
bloods.
1t was after the actual business of the
evening was over that the real fun be-
gan, for then John Emmeluth gave to
the members of the committee the
benefit of his experiences in the United
States recently, and Markham told what
he thought Of the party's representa-
tives in the Legislature. Incidentally
he spoke his mind about the selection OF
the name for the paper of Mrs wilcox
and this brought out some hot air from
Fred Beckley and the editor, both OF
whom called Markham some names, but
allowed him to escape without the spill
ing of any blood.

ures to which Honest john was to
esume contributions. He told the MEM
,ers Of the committee that they should
lot give any great amount of weight to
he matter Of a name. In the United
states he said the only name under
yhlch the Hawaiian element was known
'r judged was by the title OF Home
Rulers. The duty of patty men was to
tick to the party and to work for the
cuntry and its needs. He resented any
tempt to change the rules Of the par
y, for, he said the platform was the
asis of party action and the only plat
orm before the people was that adopted

Is platform, intimating that the peo-
lie would not stand for more than one
nore such a legislature as the last.
Incidentally Constant Jaw-n,' as one
+ the fellows called him, put in a few
ody blows upon the members of the
legislature for their failure to pass the
ounty bill. He said had that been
one there would have been a different
tory to tell about the doings Of the
legislature and different prospects OF
le future Of the Territory. He adJur-
