Politics
The Democrats and Home Rulers Have
Two Days Of Merry Making.
HOME RULE CONVENTION.

The County Convention of the
Home Rule Party consisting of
fourteen delegates and nine proxies,
presided over by Charles X. Motley
convened at 1O:30 o'clock, Wednes-
day morning in the littld green
building at the rear of the Kaahu-
manu- Church, Wailuku, and listen
ed to long speech by Mr.. Motley.
The Home Rule leaders, speech was
mainly an appeal to his followers to
remain in the fold. He plead with
them not to enter the two other
parties but to flock by themselves
in the party for Hawaiians, the
Home Rule party. The convention
itself looked bored and gave no out
ward sign of approval. Nor did it
manifest any feeling when with an
outburst of oratorical pyrotecnics
the leader denounced the immigra-
tion policy of the planters and the
government.
An hour and half of the time of
the convention was taken up with
Notley's speech and other matters
of a purely formal nature, and the
real business of nominating candi-
dates for the coming elections was
despatched in thirty minutes, an in
decation of a cut and dried plan
agreed upon at a caucus of Home
Rule and Democratic leaders, as
later developments showed, which
was safely engineered through the
Home Rule convention in its en-
tirety. But the Democratic conven-
ton did not take it down nicely, the
rebellions ones managed to make
several breaks in it, but the steam
roller with Supervisor Il. B. Lyons
at the throttle rammed the whole
of the fusion slate through unbroken,
except only where the asute Mr..
Lyons winked at his followers.
The ticket nomination by the
Home Rulers is as follows:
Senator, C. l.. Kookoo. Repre-
sentatives, S. p. Kaai of Molokai,

roll call there were fifty-seven dele.
gates present in person and by proxy
Lanai, Kaunakakai and another

The nomination of legislative can.
didates was taken up. Several De-
mocratic leaders claimed that the
Home Rulers had made up a ticket
which the Democrats were expected
to swallow, and as the Home Rule
Convention had not asked for a con
ference the Democrats should lool
out for their own interests and not
take everything for granted. TIL,
