ally by cheers and cries of "Wela Ka
Hao." Each speaker laid especial
stress upon the great things promised
by the planks of the platform, eulogized
the merits of each and every name on
the Democratic ticket and accentuated
the work done by Jarrett and his dep

Prior to the speaking and at intervals
during the evening stringed quartet

they would take up the tune and their
singing could be heard for distance of
several blocks.

Waipilopilo. After being introduced by
the chairman, Mr.. Kaai, he made a Wig

of the several candidates composing it
and concluded by asking his hearers for
their support.
