port. The encouragement he met with
in a good many solicited quarters was
not very cordial.
Cathcart was also busy yesterday try |
ing to cinch things in his own behalf. |
He ran up against much the same CON
dition of cordiality as Wise and is be-
ginning to find out that his chief hope
must consist in the fact that possibly
the party cannot find anyone else be.
tween now and the convention and may
have to accept him as the last resort
in the face of strong and determined
opposition. 1t is suggested in some
quarters that former Deputy County
Attorney Olson, who wouldn't stand
for the payment to Brown of money
not due him and whom Cathcart fought
to get rid of, might be nominated to
make clean ticket, although not
politician and unknown to most voters.
Candidates for the Senate are back
ward, and there are few who are out
openly for places as Supervisors. Eben
Low is said to be willing to stand for
the Upper House and hemay be nomi-
mated. Jack Dowsett is wanted, but
still refuses to come out definitely, and
d. p. r. Isenberg has refused point
blank to allow his name to come mp
in the convention. Il. w, Quinn, who
was slated for denomination rs a Rep
rcsentative, is now reported to be a
Senatorial aspirant, while Jimmy Boyd,
forgetting to be cautious, is also re-
ported to have the Senatorial bug.
Cecil Brown, who announced his will
ingness to stand if wanted, is being
talked of as probability, but George
Davis candidacy is heard of no more,
and it is not known whether he will
! be out as party man or an indie
pendent or. at all.
Kaauokalani Senior, who ran neck
and neck for the Senate with w. O.
Smith in the last campaign, will not
run again on the Home Rule ticket,
but will be out on that ticket for
Supervisor. With the remembrance of
the last fight, good many are in
clined to think that he will win out.
c. Halona, of the Fighting Seventh,
is canvassing for candidacy as Rep
resentative, and from the Fourth two
new names have been heard, those of
Robert Single and E. j. Lord, both
for the House.

the Saturday convention had been put
over for few days and that the Dem
ocrats had accordingly boosted their
gathering along in order to have
knowledge of the Republican slate
when they met to nominate. There is
no official authority for any change
of dates, however, and the convention
will meet Saturday, as announced. 1t
+, is said that the anxiety of the Demo
J Gratis to wait is because the name of
the Republican candidate for Mayor
will decide the name of their candi-
date. If Lane is put in by his party,
Ingham will be named by the Demo-
Gratis, but if Lucas gets the nomination,
to oppose him the Democrats will name
Fern. Fern is very anxious to run, at
any rate.
In the Supervisorial fight, so far, the
Fourth has among the Republicans A.
II. r. Vicira, Jim Quinn, Dan Logan
and W. Aylett, while j. p. Dias has
announced himself out for Demo
cratic nomination.
Interest now is being taken in the
probable makeup of the County com
mittee, to be chosen at the Saturday
convention. and the hope is expressed
that there will be big cleaning out
of the present committee and as salts
