in Waverley hall at o'clock yester.

to actual work until about an hour la.
ter, this time being necessary to allow
the committee on credentials to per.
form the work, the number of dele.

OF Representatives.
An Intelligent Body.
The convention was composed of
perhaps the most intelligent body of
Hawaiians that have ever come togeth.
er for political purposes since Hawaii
became Territory. They were an or.
derby set of men and were bent on do
ing their work thoroughly. Among the
number we're noticed a large proper.
ton of well-to-do natives-men of mod.
crate means and comfortable homes
from all over this Island. It did not
make any difference to them how long
they remained at the meeting, just so
they did properly the work which
their constituents expected of them.
This was well proven by the fact that,
although the meeting was called to
order at 2 o'clock, II was 1880 before
adjournment was taken.
At about 3 o'clock the committee on
credentials reported thirty-ive dele
gates present from the Fourth District
with four proxies and three absent;
also forty-eigbt delegates from the
Fifth District, oil present. The report
was adopted, the committee discharg.
ed and then, upon motion of George
Markham, the convention decided 10
proceed with the business OF the after
noon under the regular rules OF par
liamentary procedure.
Would Exclude Outsiders.
= Henry Baker did his best to produce
rule by means OF which all but the
delegates should be excluded from the
room, but his proposition was met by
a tremendous storm OF dlsapproval
The chair ruled that since II had been
decided to conduct the meeting under
the regular rules of parliamentary pro
cedure, he would have to decide that
the gentleman was out OF order. Mark
ham voiced the same sentiment as the
chair, stating that II would he a very
bad move to exclude outsiders. They
be willing to have all the business the,
might transact conducted in the open
He was not in favor of doing any worl
: behind closed doors.
Henry Baker next tried to get sus
! pension OF the rules for the introduc
ton OF a resolution presumably fol
the exclusion Of outsiders) but the mo
ton failed of second and the chat
announced the nomination for Sena
tors in order.
