Pinkham as Governor of Hawaii. The vote stood twenty-six to twenty-four. . WALKER. This message was received by The Advertiser from its Washington correspondent at half-past ten yesterday morning, nnd immediately bulletined, was the first definitu intimation to Honolulu that the struggle for the governorship of Hawaii, that bos lasted for eight months, had nt last come to an end, with the dark horse, first an nouiicud ns n possibility by this paper, the winner. JTho nomination of Oovemor Pink-ham was sent to the sennte by the President on July 24, where It has been fought over und blockod successfully up until yesterday, the closing day of the session. Tho change of two votes would havo beaten it. The Star-Bulletin yesterday printed the following, as from it$ special correspondent at the Capital: "WASHINGTON, November 29. Tho nomination or L. E. Pinkham for Governor of Hawaii was confirmed bv the senate today, by a v,ote of 40 t'o 21. A quorum was present. The majority of those who voted against were Democrats. Mr. Pinkham plans to conclude sonic business in Washington within the next few days and to mnke but one stop on his way to Snn Francisco, where he will remain ft ftw days before sailing for Honolulu. "To tho Washington correspondent of the Star-Bulletin, who asked the new l.xecutivo for a brief statement as to his plans, Mr. Pinkham said today that he will not discuss administrative plans until he rpnehos Honolulu. Ho says that there is nothing contemplated of n sufficiently radical nntiire tt) require advance notice or explanation." Surprise to Some. The final confirmation of tho I'resl dent's choice, nlthough it was a hundred to one that it would come,, was a surprise to at least two of tho Democratic candidates for tho governorship. L. L. MeCnndless spoke bitterly of the matter, termini; the nction of tho first -nominating Pinkham and then in forcing his choice upon the senate as n direct slap nt tho Democratic organization of Hawaii and n snub ns well to tho "Democratic majority in the senate. O. J. Waller, 'whllo expressing soino astonishment at tho confirmation, made no hostile comments, E. AL Watson, whom many thought tho logical nominee, is quoted in tho afternoon paper as Baying that ho is glad the matter is finally settled. Slap at Democracy in Hawaii. "I believe that tho nomination of Mr. Pinkham and tho Insistence shown by the President in forcing his name through the scuato is n direct and unexpected slap at tiTo" Democratic organization in this Territory," said Mr. McCiindless. i" Why It was given I cannot conceive. It was undeserved, and it will not do Democracy nny good in the Islands. I think il quite unheard of for a Democratic administration to force n Republican Govcrnoroii us. Hail Mr. Taft been elected I am quite sure tho community would never hnvo looked for my appointment as Governor. "However, now thnt Mr. Pinkham is Governor, we will accept him in good faith and hold ourselves ready to back him up if he shows any disposition to bo fair with the organization hero and work with us. If he does, wo will sup port him; if he does not, we will fight him and his administration," "Who's Who Now? It is a rather peculiar thing that while the Pinkham candidacy is seven mouths' old and while he has been tho President's choree since last July, none in a position to talk is able to give any inkling of whnt tho now Governor's course is to be. Thero has been rumor nt work naming tho next secretary of the Territory, but no one man stands out at all prominently for tho position.
