vain did Lane get busy contradicting
reports of trouble, in vain were the
Rams allowed to triumph at the pedro
tables, uselessly were overtures of
friendship made and olive branches in

THWING AS SLATE-MAKER.
1t was reported yesterday that the
Rev. E. W. Thwing was at work pre-
pairing to take an active part in the
coming campaign, being busy at the
present time in selecting list of can
didates to work for. The names OF
none of these candidates have been
given out as yet except that of "Pa
lanai Rath for Sheriff.
Mr.. Rath possesses some of the quail
iications necessary for the office. His
zeal as worker for what is right and
straightforward is recognized, his owr
traightforwardness and honesty are
unquestioned, and he has an intimate
knowledge of the Honolulu underworld
gained in his settlement work. Those
who know him best recognize the fact
that he is neither bigot nor fanatic,
hut his chances of either nomination
or election to the Office into which Mr.
Thwing would elevate him are about as
good as the chances for Mr.. Thwing
himself to be chosen on a popular vote
for Mayor.
ATTENDANCE AT PRIMARIES.

rebuffs Thwing is certain to be met
with in his ticket making will not dis
courage him from attending his party
precinct nominations for delegates to
the two conventions, nor from hustline

the attendance of all his friends.
