There was some little debate as to
the time to which recess should be
taken in order to permit the commit
tees to prepare their report. Finally
1:30 clock was decided on and the
convention took recess at IL 0 clock.
Afternoon Session.
When the convention reassembled in
the afternoon the credentials commit
tee was not quite ready to report, some
of the delegates having failed to pre-
sent their credentials. A recess was
therefore taken, and National Commit
teeman G.. j. Waller was called on for
an address. His speech was in very
sincere but very optimistic vein. He
spoke of the great progress the party
had made in the past four years. In
that progress there was much for salts
faction. He urged that the very fact
that their ticket had good prospects of
election was an added reason for the
selection of a good ticket and then
supporting it solidly. He spoke of the
visit of the Hawaiian Delegation to
the National Convention at Denver. 1t
had given those on the delegation
better idea of conditions and political
parties and had given the party on
the mainland a better idea of Hawaii.
1t had shown its interest in Hawaii
by inserting plank in the platform
directly relating to conditions here.
81 believe,'' he said, "'that this
visit of our delegation has brought us
closer to the party on the mainland,
and | believe that those who met our
delegates there have become more IN
terested in Hawaii. In conclusion, L
will ask that we all work together
for the success of the Democratic can
didates in the coming campaign, not
only for our local Legislature and
County officers, but for our Delegate
to Congress, so that we may have
Democratic representative at Wash
ngton when William Jennings Bryan
IS elected President. In the last
election there was a great discrep-
aney shown in the voting for Mr..
and that for the other
Democratic candidates, and it is neees-
,ary for us to show in this election
hat we are united by giving the can
iidate for Delegate as great vote
Is we give the Other candidates. In
conclusion all | can say is let us work
.ogether for the success of the party,
Is I believe that we have much to
encourage us.

The Democrats of the city and coun-
ty of Honolulu held their city and eoun-
ty and district conventions yesterday,
and nominated complete city and
county, senatorial and legislative
tickets. The convention numbered two
hundred delegates, almost all of whom
were present in person. Every pre-
cinet of the Island of Oahu was rep
resented.
For a good many of the Offices there
was no contest in the convention, the
sentiment of the party having already
been crystallized into determination
to name a particular man. Harvey,
who was very much desired by many
of the party as candidate for super
visor because of his experience in that
office, as an aid to the party's candi-
date for mayor, should the latter be
elected, after being urged by some to
STAND for one nomination and by 9th
ers TO stand for another, finally decid-
ed that he preferred the senatorial
nomination and was given it unani-
mOusly.
Edward Ingham received the highest
vote in the convention for supervisor.
Z. NJ. Watson, who has been consider
ably talked of for county attorney,
sought and was given, unanimously,
the nomination for senator, and Judge
w. s. Edings, whose record on the
ba M
speeches, was given the unanimous
nomination of the convention for at.
torney.
The party's nominees for city and
county officers, are, most of them, pret-
ty well known through previous public
service. The nominees for the Board
Of Supervisors and for the House of
Representatives are with one or two
exceptions not widely known nor ex-
perienced in public affairs.
The convention was characterized by
good order and strict attention to busl-
ness. There were no untoward incl
dents whatever, and the demeanor OF
the delegates was unexceptionaL The
place where the convention was held
was rather small for so large a gather
1ng, resulting, especially while ballots
were being taken, in considerable con-
fusion though in no disorder.
Some of the contests were quite
spirited, but no nomination required
more than one ballot to make.
There was a spirit of confidence about
the convention which has not been seen
IN many previous conventions of the
party in this county. The fact that
the convention could and did renomin.
ata some mon 10 the offices thew now
hold. and nominated others now hold
ing offiee to still higher Office, was
pew sensation to the party, and one
fhst naturally inspired confidence and
an optimistic spirit.
