Great Enthusiasm Marks
the Appearance of
the Candidate.
(From Wednesdays daily.)

yesterday morning, and after a
rush of applause which was purely
spontaneous, the third convention of
the Republican party in Hawaii ad-
iourned sine die.
As outlined after the caucus of Mon
day night, this outcome of the long
struggle over the delega teship nomina-
tion ended with the utmost enthusi-
assn. The growth of the feeling for
Prince Cupid was astonishing, and the
fact that the haole members of the
convention started the cheering and as
well as began the voting for him
aroused in the Hawaiian delegates a
degree of interest which brought about
the entire harmony of noontime, for
there was no other name mentioned,
and standing and cheering, the dele
gates in the body gave their votes for
the young ALI.
The session of the convention was a
late one owing to the absence of A. G..
NJ. Robertson, who was on important
business in court. The only other real
candidate for the place beside the
Prince was Robertson, and his strength
was perhaps gagged, when in the eau
Gus, he had twenty votes. The men
who were pledged to him were of opin-
vention await his coming and hear
from him just what he had to say. II. in
fact, there was anything to be said.
Finally he was brought into the con-
vention by a committee of two from
the Fourth district, and the work of
the morning was taken up, an hour
having passed in the waiting.
The time went by rapidly, however
for there was feeling of satisfaction
apparent on every face. The settle
ment of the vexed problem was one
which appealed to the men Of politics
and they were patient in their waiting
for the converting Of the session. 1t
was shortly before the arrival Of Rob-
ertson made it possible for the conven-
ton to get to work when DR.. Hubby
entered the room. He was escorting
Prince Cupid, and as the young man
was seen at the door of the hall the
delegates already on hand began to
cheer Justify. They gave three and
three times three, and when they had
concluded Guard, Of Hilo shouted
There's only one party in Hawaii, the
grand old Republican party" and
there was a renewal of the cheering.
When the roll call developed the pres
ence of nearly the entire convention
membership Chairman Holstein an
nounced that the naming OF the COM
mission to frame the county and munic-
ipal bills, as provided by the Achi mo-
ton, should follow, but owing to the
fact that this should be a responsible
committee, one which could meet with
the leading people and gather all the
facts, placing them in position to frame
"A bill which will be acceptable to all,
he thought he should consult with the

whom he wishes to place on the COM
mittee He suggested that the selec-
ton of a national committeeman might
be in order but was informed that the
delegates to the national convention
did that and that this convention had
no jurisdiction.
This brought the convention to the
nomination of the candidate for Dele
gate TO Congress, and this was taken
up, the call being by districts. Henry
u. Baldwin had arranged with the
chairman of the delegation from the
First district, that he should have the
privilege of the floor when that district
was called so that the nomination of
Prince Cupid could be made the very
first business of the convention. Will
