13 i it. r. ,9 if U. Notley Bucceods David Kalauokalani as president of tbo Home Rule party. This is perhaps tho most significant transaction ofthe party's convention -which concluded last night in tho now Homo Rulo headquarters on Kukui street a trifle Ewa of Nuuana street.

Kalauokaluni has filled the, office for nearly ten years, having leen president in the old kaiaiaina dajs and uninterruptedly over since. Yesterday ho said that ho felt -ho was getting too old for tho position and, refusing tho nomination tendered him, threw tho whole weight of his support iri Notley 's favor. 1' Opinions are divided over Notlcy's graduation to tho leadership of tho party. Ho lias many enthusiastic supporters, of course, but Kalauokalani has more and to these the news of their candidate's withdrawal came in tho naturo of a bitter surprise. I Tho matter wits much discussed last night and not a fow Homo Rulers nro not backward iu stating that Kalauokalani's secession from ofllco is not as disinterested as that astute politician would havo it to be believed.

Theso maintain that Kalauokalani has grpwn weary of working for glory and is moreover dubious of tho future prospects of tho Home Rulo party. Then there is an election approaching which is certain to bo keenly contested and liylnot being an Kalauokalani's services, and thoy aro of no little-account, aro likely to be eagerly sought by threo parties. The new constitution was adopted after hours of discussion and somo 1 -amendment. Thc'most important chango is the limitation of the oxecutiyo com- nltteo to'thirty members instead of sixty-five as was the case heretofore. This chango is expected to strengthen the parly greatly.

Tho sizo of the CQmwittce in tho past has hindorod progress and complicated matters beyond (belief. Tho result ban been that many useful Homo Rulers havo loft tho party ibccauso thoy found it altnost impossible to obtain a hearing among thcT wordy -sixty-five. Last night several 'of theso backsliders were again gathered into 4ho fold. Ono thing is certain, and that is that' tho Homo Rulo party is reorganizing in earnest and already planning nn exceptionally actho campaign whilo their political oppononts are apparently asleep. Another fact that can bo detected in tho dark is that tho word "fusion" lias been scratched out of tho Homo Rulo dictionary for tho time being, anyway.

Tho convention commenced on Saturday afternoon, thero being present C2 delegates and 42 by proxy. President B. Kalauokalani was in tho chair. 0. Notley also occupied tho platform.

David Kupihea acted as secretary. The afternoon was spent in a discussion of tho credentials of tho dolegatos. 1 .1 1 cummuueuu at u. in. aim at p.

But thoy were, nearly all of them, very earnest and kokuaed untirinclv. specially when they could find nothing olso to say. Many pf tho delegates wero white-haired patriarchs who had dono politics tho days of tho monarchy and will probably bo doing it until they die. tome, onHhe other hand, wero neophytes armed with tho experienco afforded by nit ono lone election. The old men said but littlo and sat ar solemnly ns owls throuchout tho leeting.

The youngsters, for they were youngsters compared with their attercd seniors, wero verboso to a degree and roared like tho fat bull of lashan upon tho slightest provocation, Cohoronce mattered not sonorous pouting was what counted, with them.

Everything went smoothly until Section 5 was reached, when L.
