ly attacked by the Carter opponents.
The upshot OF 1t all was compromise
which eliminated Carter's name end
saved the immigration clause Of the
Territorial administration plank. The
resolution of the Honolulu business
mems meeting was a powerful factor IN
saving the immigration plank. With
out this endorsement II would probably
have gone overheard with Carter's
name. The theory Of the plank rs
finally shaped was that 1t included the
Legislature as well as the Governor.
Primary Law.
The primary law plank was the GEN.
ter of lively discussion, aud was
nearly the cause OF a minority report.
II carried the day, however. and was
applauded In the convention. Judge
Muhaulu was one OF Its steadfast sup
porters. ... vi. .r r......
Maui came forward with the amend
ment TO the educational plank Great
ing County, educational board. Ed
itor Coke was largely responsible for
having this matter brought to the
front. and Worth Aiken fathered 1t.
There was no opposition.
Militia Lost.
Recommendations by the Honolulu
business men were adopted with the
exception of that In favor of the mil
tia. Opponents of the militia were
ready to accept the Promotion plank

Accepted With a Rush.
The long session OF the platform
committee put the convention In
mood to accept most anything brought
In, 30 It was fair statement OF prin-
ciples and the work was finished quick
ly. The planks rs they were read by
Chairman Robertson were vigorously
applauded and II. p. Baldwin's motion
TO adopt carried without a whimper OF
objection.
Desha Nominates.
Then came the nomination OF the
Delegate. This pleasant duty fell to
Stephen Desha. The eloquent orator
from Hawaii was at his best. and his
address was ably interpreted by Mr..
Coelho. Desha brought down the house
when he compared the Republican par
~ to the steamer Iwalani. which had
to be taken out on the marine railway
TO have the barnacles taken OF that II
might keep up to speed. He believed
The denomination of the Delegate would
have an equally good effect on the Re-
publican party. .
The nomination was made unani-
nous, the delegates raising to give
three cheers aud sing Hawaii POnoi.
The speech Of acceptance by the Del
egate was one of the best he has ever
made. He wound up his English
speech with, Damn II, I'm not q pub
lie speaker" but the crowd seemed
entirely satisfied.
In his opening remarks the Delegate
expressed his thanks for the nomina-
ton and pledged himself To do all he
could for every Interest OF the Terri
tory, doing In the future as he hal
done In the past-endeavor to make
AS many friends for Hawaii In Con-
gress as possible.
