NEW PARTY
Hawsiiaas. Favor the
Republican
Idea.

IlibN, I'll htIt was an 'U'
thusiastic meeting of Hawaiians TO the
number Of sixty in the Hall Church
chapel on Tuesday night. The object
of the meeting was the purpose OF con-
sidering the county bill and the pos
sible benefits which will follow the
change of form of government. The
audience was composed entirely of Ha-
waiians and resolution was presented
| providing for the organization of a
political party to be known as the
American Republican. This was put
in the form of motion and carried by
vote of As to Is. There were a num-
Der present who spoke on the subject.
They all wanted to be attached to the
Republican party. hut their hatred for
the Hawaiian Republic is SO strong
that they cannot dissociate the Repub-
lican party from it. For that reason it
was necessary to put the prefix Amer
lean" before the name of this new
party.
Klaus SUGGESTIONS.
Kau Republicans held a meeting at
Hllea on Monday and adopted a rcsou-
ton that the districts of Kau, North and
South Kona, North and South Kohala,
and Hamakua be included in one coun-
ty. The division is based on the fact
that according to the returns the actual
amount of taxes collected in those dis
tricts last year was $1G5 900, against
$4,000 collected in Hilo and Puma.
The citizens of Kau believe that the
apportionment recommended in this
rag 1t,.tI t.
problem of distribution. The matter of
a county seat was not touched upon, as
the people are willing to leave that for
future consideration.

For the third or fourth time Hilo
