THE STIR IN
POLITICS
Brown May Suffer by
Three-Cornered
Fight.

The political pot is boiling as lively
as if it was over q burner on a Homo
lulu gas stove. And the end is not

was stirring up a hornets nest in his
speech last Saturday night is not
known, but the hornets are buzzing
just .the same. The facts given in the
Advertiser yesterday relative to the
dfsa greement between the factional
leaders and the Sheriff were corrob-
grated later in the day and the breach
seems to be growing wider as time
passes 1t has been frequently demon
strated that Sheriff Brown has the
bump of stubbornness almost abnor-
mally developed. That being so, his

A RELIABLE REMEDY FOR DYS-
EMERY AND DIARRHOEA.

AS the season is at hand when diar-
rhoea and dysentary are prevalent a
reliable remedy should always be kept
in the house for immediate use. The
success of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the treat
ment of bowel trouble, has brought it
into almost universal use and the fol-
lowing letter indicates it is giving

CLARENCE AGAIN.
Clarence Crabbe is said to have
case of cold feet. His friend and ad-
wiser, Mr. Achi had his promise that
he would be present at the labor gath
ering Saturday night and he was dis
appointed when he learned that he
could not, so for that reason Achi
spoke longer than he had intended. If
Clarence will give UP the running for
the sheriff's place Achi has one or two
men to accept the nomination. One of
them is white man and the other is
half white, and a mighty good half
white he is. according to reports.
Il am to see Mr.. Crabbe tonight"
said the Senator yesterday, land we
will talk over the situation. II may
be as we'll for him to run for super
visor and he may be pleased, to keep
out of the campaign altogether. I was
disappointed that he did not come to
the meeting on Saturday and that is
the second time he has disappointed
me. I was told that it was on account
Of the illness of his wife. The rumor
that Clarence and I have broken is not
quite correct. II he stays in the fight
against Brown I will be with him and
L will not give my support to anyone
else as long as Clarence wants to run.
If he stays out Of it, and if by any
chance Brown should not get the nom
ination from his party, I will support
any good man the party puts up. I am
h h31t
against Brown and the people he has
around him. I believe we can get a
better man and when the better man
comes better assistants will come with
him. I have been told that there is
a chance, now, that Brown viii not get
the nomination and that Vida is booked
for the knife in his own precinct. That
may be correct but it does not sound
real to me, there is something too
funny about it to be true. If they will
cut Brown out of it they may count
on my and all of the support have at
my command
= But Crabbe has told committee he
will run if he has only one delegate
behind him.
NOMINATIONS ON FRIDAY.
There will be a selection of the men
to be nominated as delegates at the
of the various precinct clubs
next Friday night. This fight has
come at the right time and if the knife
is to be put into Brown the hilt will
be seen sticking out in the result of
the election. The break with Sam was
the talk of the town yesterday and
there is a strong indication, if the
guides speak truly, of the downfall of
the police machine and the elevation
of the road machine. But, as a gentle
man has remarked, Honolulu is in the
hands of one of the best organized ma
chimes in political history of the Ter
