FUSION
IS NOW
FIXED

| Fusion between the Home Rulers and
the Democrats has been accomplished
| At meeting of the members of the
committees representing the parties
yesterday the agreement for the coming
together of the bodies was signed, seal
ed and delivered, and there remains
only the ratification by the executive
committees of the two to make it ef-
fective.
The basis of the fusion is said to be
on it's face two-thirds of the offices for
the Home Rulers and one-third for the
Democrats, this meaning of course only
on the legislative ticket for the Will
cox has been accepted by the Demo-
Gratis as a body. The members of the
minority party however are hopeful
| that they will get more out of the
/ fusion scheme than the mere one-third
of the nominations, as the Home Rulers
have been led to taking up some Demo-
Gratis already, which will make the
divide more nearly on the basis of half
and half.
Following the agreement there was
prepared a list of the candidates which
will be submitted to. each party for
ratification by the other. The Demo-
Gratis must be approved by the Home
Rule committee and vice versa. It is
planned that this selection from the
! list, for the approval will be of long
ventions will later select the runners,
: will be made as soon as possible after
the Republicans have nominated their
ticket.
| Members of the committees refused
! to discuss the names which are most
likely to appear on the tickets of the
combination party, but it was said that
there would be very few men named
who were in the legislature last time.
This was insisted upon by the Demo-
Gratis and their victory has been de-
cided in this respect. This is said to
insure the retirement from public life
of Prendergast, ana possibly of Paele
and Mossman. OF the two tickets the
one name certain is that of Edgar
Caypless, who is to be sent to the Sem
ate as the new leader Wilcox having
more faith in his ability to handle sit
uations than even his faithful Kalau-
okalani.
OF the situation outside of the city
the settlements have not yet been
made. There is chance that White
will withdraw on Maui, leaving a
chance for Col. Cornwell to come to
the senate. On Hawaii the senators
have not been chosen, but one of them
will be Palmer Woods, the other being
in doubt, but most probably being Sam
Pua. Democrats will meet this even
ing for the discussion of the fusion
ticket
REPUBLICANS WILL NOMINATE.
The joint convention of the Fourth
and Fifth district committees, for the
purpose of nominating Senators, will be
held in Progress hall this evening.
There will be a large meeting for the
two committees have now reached such
a stage that every member will be rep
resented in person or by proxy.
The first thing will be the naming of
the Senators, and after this is finished
the two committees will take up the
matter of their candidates for the lower
house, though there may be delay in
the matter by the Fourth, every MEM
Der of which lives in the city and can
we'll delay, though the Fifth men will
finish up if it takes all night.
There were many caucuses yesterday
but these seemed to not change in any
way the chances of any one of the cam
didates, for the partisans will be com
PEELED to stand by their pledges. In
the event of the Fifth being unable to
agree, there is some talk on the part
of members of the Fourth of taking UP
at least one new name and making the
ticket themselves.

tuguese Republican club was launched
