The above Is the resolution passed
by the Republican Central Committee
yesterday afternoon, reading Kaea out
OF the party ticket. II was adopted
this noon by the County Committee
and s. Pahia Maielua was chosen to
take Kaea's place on the ticket
Although the meeting was called
for the noon hour It did not begin be
fore 1880 owing to the hardness O
several committeeman.
ut seems to me-" said Chilling
worth, that the fact of the resolution
which presents itself to our considera
ton Is to consider the choice of a sue
cessor for Kaea."
Paris wanted to know how the Coun
ty Committee could act as It was
pledged to abide by the results of the
convention.
Chillingworth said that this mattel
had been taken out Of the Count.
Committees hands by the Contra
Committee.
Cooke moved that the County Com
mittee approve the resolution Of tn,
Central Committee. This carried b.
an unanimous vote.
Chillingworth called for suggestions
for successor, and s. Pahia Maielui
was suggested by Henry. On vote
being taken Maielua was chosen.
Waielua made short speech In Ha
waiian, stating that he had Away.
worked for the good of the party, ant
would fight for the success of tn,
party as rule.
