TWO VERSIONS OF STEWART'S CONTENTIONS Club Wouldn't Tie Down to Three Nominees-Sims Take3 Up the Gauntlet-Big Vote Expect ed Tomorrow T. McCanls Stewart favored the Bulletin with the following typewritten account of tho seventh precinct meet ing held Inst evening: The Republican Club of the Seventh Precinct, Fifth District held a warm and protracted meeting last night at tho Itcform School. Adjournment was not had until nearly half past 10 o'clock, and at the end, the sweet dove, of peace was not In sight. Tho follow ing nominations went through smooth ly: Judge W. 1.. Wilcox for president; Dr. Geo. II. Huddy, vice president, r-d Isaac H. Sherwood, secretary. Then came the first clash. These gentlemen nro now serving, W. IX. Sims nominated Wong Leong for treasurer. T. McCants Stewart thqught. that ns the old ticket, up to this point, was renominated, U. Louden, the present treasurer, should be chosen, and he" suggested that Mr. Sims withdrew the name of Wong Lo ons. The answer from Mr. Sims was: "Not on your life. I huvo nominate 1, mid now I shnll try to elect htm." M. Leong was elected. After numerous declinations to serve, an executive committee wus nomltintsd with E. C. Winston In the lead, and af ter more numerous declinations, a board of Judges of clectlun was named. When K. It. G. Wallace declined, Judge Wilcox said, with Ills usual goo I humor, "Wallace has ono ballot In Ms possession now.' There wus tho hearti est outburst of laughter, led by Wal lace, who replied, "Well, Judge, I cer tainly don't want aonthcr one." The next clash came when T. M; Cants Stewart offered the following resolution- "Resolved, That wo pres ent to the Senatoilal and Representa tive Concntlons the names of Hons. W. C. Achl and J. I.. Kauliikou for Senators, and Hon. S. M. Damon an I II. It. Hitchcock, Esq. for Representa tives, and heartily urge their nomina tion." W. II. Sims opposed tho resolu tion with great earnestness; but, after a lengthy discussion, It was adopted. He then offered a resolution presenting the name of Judge W. L. Wilcox as Delegate to Congress. T. McCants Stewart seconded the resolution In a speech, which was heartily applauded, and the resolution passed unuuluiouu ly umldst great demonstiatlon. The meeting then settled down to the nomination of thieo persons as doln b'utes to the district committee. After a lively contest, E. C. Winston, J. I . Holt and T. McCants Stewart woro nominated. Mr. Sims announced 'i--lore the balloting began that ho would run a ticket of tils own, If the nomina tions did not suit him. So another lively primary Is ahead. As usual there are two jerslona of the action of Republicans In tho fa jiunis seventh precinct. Tho meeting last night was a struggle between T. McCants Stewart and the friends of W, It. Sims. The first difficulty arose when Mr. Stewnrt opposed the election of Wong Leong ns treasmcr. Leong ' one uf the ablest native born Chinese in the Territory nnd a strong party leader with tho Hawallan-Chlneso vot ers. Wong Leong was elected by a -voto of 38 to 10 for the Stewart candi date. . When It camo to tho executive com mittee the Stewart pcoplo were again placed in minority. The Judges named were Alirnliam Kekai. Wm. KamUna nnd C. Elvin. . $ There was further difficulty wherf Mr. Stewnrt ardently urged the adop tlon of a resolution binding the clubs to vote at the primaries for the three nominees receiving the highest votes r.t 4hc meeting. After a sharp discussion Stewart was overwhelmingly defeated The names put In nomination wcm Wm. Henry, Peter Nahuwal, K. IX. O. Wallace, E. C. Winston, Jas. L. Holt, T. McCantk Stewart. W. It. Sims -ym nominated but refused to accept, Later lu the evening, 81m stutcd to Mr. Ste-wnit that tlie only condition en which ho would i tin as a delegate would bf ,to, defeat Stewart vvhtnu Hlini) lurtl Jh ,pollllcal mochlni cnfciinery. for peisonul gulu und nol Hie bimwI of the party.

As to Achl ami Kniilukoii, Him? uw no reason why the members of thl club should go outside their precinct previous to the primaries. When the i resolution was put it was carried by a oto of 21 to 23. .Mr. T. McCants Btewart said today that he has been urged to enter Into a combination to defeat Holt or Wins-' ton; but that ho has absolutely refused to consider any proposition that would tend to defeat either of his co-associates on the ticket: nml that he would not do so even If defeat stared him In the face.

AND MADE IMPOSSIBLE RESTORATION OF MONARCHY' W, 0.: Smith Does Not Represent Republicans in Washington Unmanly Reference to Missionaries, Editor Evening liullctln: Tho arti cle In your IsscS of yesterday under '.!u heading "Wise on Democrats" I con aider a specimen of literature mislead ing and dangerous, for tho reason that It Is full of such misstatements that It will breed and encourage an 111 feeling between the- native Hawaiian political parties and their foreign friends lito more bitter than that would be under the excitement from the ordlnar) clce ttou campaign. Mr. Wise- must be either Ignorant of what he writes about or does so with more harm to the less Informed na tlve Hawaiian und to himself than If I e it spirit of vlndlctlvt-noHs which does had written on!) tho truth. When hesnys "The Democratic parly Is tho party of Cleveland who tried to restore the monarchy, but failed hi-, cause tho Republicans, con trolled Congress." For the Information of Mr. Wise and the rest of the native Hawaiian I .vlll give here the strength of the Republl- tans and the Democrats from 1S3 in 1895, which covers two venrs of Cleve land's term of office us Democratic President, which will answer for Itself and prove Mi. Wise wrong. Viz.: Sen ate, Republicans, 38; Democrats, Hi Representatives Republicans, l.'i', Democrats, 214. With due honor to President Cleve land for his attempt to restore the Queen, his failure was simply becuiiK.i he did not have the support of his par ty, namely, the Democrats. Tho Re publicans wero In the minority. Fur Mr. Wise's Information I would call hb attention to tho fact that It .vas Cleveland who recognized the Republic of Hawaii and gave It standing, ut against tho monarchy, among the na tlins of tho world. After this act neltii c.'tho Republican pnrty nor Demo cratic party could destroy tho Republic of Hawaii to establish m monarch). Tho Republic of Hawaii recognized by Cleveland made tho treaty of annex. i- Hon with tho United States. He also sa)s, "The Democrats gnv to the Hawaiian people full civil rights and were not hcgulltl Into accepting bribe money from W. O. Smith nnd oth ers, who represent tho Republican par ty hero today." What rot for any In telligent person to publish for the bene fit of his own countrymen, especially those who hnvo plnced confidence In htm us ono of its lenders In politics. Mr. Wise must surely know that the "manhood suffrage" was given to the native Hawallns In this Territory by a Republican Congress, u Republican President and n Republican Adminis tration. What docs he want nny plain er than this and the sumo party Is still lu power and will, I hope, continue to bo for another run of twenty-four years without a break. - As to his referenco to W. O. Smlih nnd others ns to bribes, I consider It uncalled for nnd further I wish to correct him again and wish to inform him and others who have been misin formed that W. O. Smith doesn't rcpte scnt tho Republican party hero todjy, nor did he abroad. At tho samo time W. O. Smith muy bo n Republican; perhaps be Is n Democrat? Then Mr. Wise snyss "Our enenilw, the missionaries, during tho pait seven years and who are our enemies today," I must say to this that ho Is going beyond the true lines of manly arguments In political contests wb-n such expressions aro utterly false, es pcclully coming from a student of tl.o ever despised missionary C.

In attempting to get aboard the steamer, the canoe whb capsized and tho native thrown Into the water. The first the Mauna Ixm people knew of the accident wus when two natives boarded the Mauna Loa.
