FOURTH MAN
MAY Be OUT
urrOm saturdays Advertiser,

An independent candidate for the
mayOralty is promised to add to the
gaiety of the local political situation.
From responsible source comes the
information that white man, political.
ly ambitious, has secured the necessary
signatures to n nomination paper and
has the twenty-five dollars ready to
deposit with County Clerk Kalauoka-
lani to permit his name going on the
official ballot along with the names of
Lane Fern and Achi. Who he is will
not be announced until the nomination
paper is filed.
Such was one of the reports in circu-
lation on the street yesterday. 1t may
be correct. Anything may be so these
times, except one of Cathcart's refuta-
tons
Another story had to do with the
request made to w. r. Castle that he
be one Of the speakers at the Repub-
lican ratification meeting on Monday
night. Mr. Castle agreed to make one
of the addresses and the County Com
mittee was greatly pleased to hear his
answer. Then it suddenly occurred to
one of the members of the committee
to ask Mr.. Castle what subject he pre-
ferred to speak on.
81 think that government by com
mission would be a timely subject,n
MIR. Castle is reported to have said.
"ln favor of it3'' asked the com.
mitteeman in incredulous amazement.
"Why certainly, in favor of it.
That accounts for the fact that Mr..
CASTLES name is not among the ones
who are TO make the straight. .ticket.as-
possible under the circumstances talk
on Monday.
These speakers are to be Delegate
KalanianaOle, Charles Chillingworth,
Solomon Kaleiopu, w. t. Rawlins, Ste
phen Desha, +. A. Douthitt, John G.
Lane, John Wise and John Hughes.
This list includes all strong speakers
and the Monday night rally ought to
be great one in point of attendance
and oratory.
The name of John Wise among the
others is attracting great deal of at
tention on account of the question that
has been raised regarding his fidelity to
the straight ticket. What he will say
on Monday will place him definitely
with one or the other of the candidates
for the mayoralty.
One of the most widely discussed
questions of the day yesterday was
whether George Beckley really dug that
thousand for Achi or not. Both Beck.
ley and Achi deny it, but a prominent
worker on the Republican side has stat.
ed seven persons saw the money pass,
so don t think there is very much
doubt about it. -
Beckley, it is understood, regards his
chances as so bright that he will not
have to do any canvassing. He has
therefore agreed to leave next week
for the other islands to drive Governor
Frea1 and party around on their tour
of inspection.
Carlos Long fled his candidature pa.
pers yesterday, thus putting a stop to
the absurd report that he would per-
haps drop out of the fight. His chances
for election are growing brighter every
day and those supporting him would be
greatly disappointed if for any reason
he had seen fit to listen to cheap sneer-
ers and Others and withdrew.
The joint ratification meeting of the
Home Rulers and Laborites will be held
tonight at Aala Park, commencing at
1880 clock. d. Kalauokalani Sr. will
presd and the principal speakers will
be Chas, X. Motley, candidate for Dele
gate to Congress-; w. G. Achi, candidate
for mayor; j. NJ. Poepoe, Chas. Broad,
George Beckley and Others. About half
an hour before the appointed time, the
kahiliaulani glee club will furnish mu-
sic for the benefit of the audience.
