After the speeches OF Mcguire
and Noblitt yesterday afternoon on
the resolution to instruct for Hearst,
it was voted to postpone the matter
until routine business OF the session
had been gotten out OF the way.
The question OF the spportioDment
OF delegates TO st Louis was then
taken up. /, was easily decided that
Hawaii should have two Then Maui
entered the arena with a claim for
two. This brought on considerable
OF fight, but Oahu finally gave in
TO Maui and that carried the day.
Oahu wss then left with only two.
In the caucuses held the following
were elected AID we're finally APP
proved by the convention: Hawaii
j D Esston and Palmer Woods;
Maui-T d Lyons aud j L Coke;
Oshu-Curtis 7 Iaukea and w s
Noblitt. The alternates elected
we're, Hswaii-Albert X Nawshi
and S ii Kane; Maui-L X Crook
and Psinsiki; Oahu-Justice ) A
Galbraith aud Z B Kidd.
At this point # II Hsyeelden re-.
introduced the resolution favoring
Instructions to the delegation for
Mr. Hearst, and made strong
speech in favor OF the point. He
was ably opposed by a Hawaiian
member present. This debate was
followed by motions and counter
motions in regard to adjournment,
resulting in the chair declaring q
recess to 1880 o'clock.
In the evening P O'Sullivan
opened the argument 10 favor OF the
Hearst resolution. He was replied
to at length by Frank Harvey, the
speaker stating that he was not OPP
posed TO Mr. Hearst but was opposed
to instructions. Prince David Ka-
wsnanakoa supported the views Of
Mr. Harvey and was replied to by j .
W Bipikane, for the resolution. d
81 Kahsulelio, Of Maui, here took up
the cudgel in opposition TO the reso.

from Manase, secretary OF the long
shofemen's union, who declared that
the unions OF every part OF the Unit
cd States would back Mr. Hearst be-
cause he was their friend. This was
followed by scorchiug speech by
Q w Ashford against the resolution.
Mr. Ashford was replied to by g
Cordes, OF the Fifth aud Mr. Una
una, OF the Fourth. Then came
the set speech OF w A Kinney
against the resolution, which had
been expected all evening. Mr. Kin
ney spoke in both Hawaiian and
English for nearly half hour, and
at the conclusion Of his remarks all
that he had said was attacked and
responded TO by John Emmeluth.
! This brought the debate up to the
principal and Gual speeches, those
OF Mr. Ewing and Colonel Iaukea
both in favor OF the resolution
These speeches clearly capped the
climax aud 1t was plainly Aeen
throughout their delivery that Mr.
Hearst. had won. Colonel Iaukea
closed his address amid a storm OF
applause, and an Immediate vota
