WAILUKU, August 1S.-On last Mon
day morning the old district committee
of the Republican party met at the
court house to wind up the business of
the party. The new delegates to the .
district convention then met in the af-
tenoon at the same place, and effected
temporary organization with A. n. Ke-
poikai as chairman and j. n. X Keola,
Secretary After organization, the con-
vention deemed It best to adjourn the
meeting until the MoloSai delegates
would arrive, as they had been tele-
graphed the day previous of the meet |

| at the last moment and decided not to
come to Maui. for fear the meeting may
have adjourned upon their arrival.
Baldwin did not favor transacting any
business during the evening, until per-
manent organization could be effected
and this he thought best to defer I'M
til all the delegates from the different
precincts could be present. This view
of the matter met with general appro-
baton from the delegates present.
Delegate Pogue, of Huelo, then pre-
scented a resolution, the substance of
which favored the denomination of Ku-
hio for delegate to congress. He spoke
at some length in support of the resolu-
ton, stating that as Maui had the
honor of nominating Kuhio for delegate
at the last Territorial convention, il
was no more than proper that Maui
should again ack Kuhio. This met
with hearty cheers from all sides. KeOla
. thought that it was not the proper time
, to bring up the resolution, as the COM
mittee was not permanently organized
} but he met with such a storm of words
from the other members of the conven
ton, that he sided in with the rest
when the resolution was put to a vote
Keola was basing his contention on 8
technicality, but as Senator Baldwin
. stated, he did not know of any rule in
: Cushings, or Roberts, that was con

y that nature when the convention was
temporarily organized.
