Politically, things were going from
bad to worse.
The nerves of the people were al

for anything. They expected the
worst*

the right wiag, which rtoj>l' oat for
the building ap of a conatry atandiag
aloae. They saw that in the political
autonomy of Hawaii lay her oaly
chance for future greatness.
Aa Seacatan said one day to a party
ot aa at the American-Hotel:
"Tbere'a ao nse beating aboat tha
bash any longer. The present admin
istration of the United States govern
peat doesn't want ns. It prefera a
monarchy. TUat's its idea of democ
racy. I suppose. Well, why shoald
we care? \Ve bare erery resource for

orable rie wof oar position. Til* only
way to aettie it ia to pat it to a rote.
Let the people say their any at tha
polls. Then well kaiw who we are
aad where we are."
At last Utaeaop'a proposition met
with favor, and a special elecXon waa
aaaouaend to decide the question. >
"Annexation," waa the cry oa one
hand, aad "no aaaexatioc" oa tha
other. Aad tha Royalists, cheered by
the dissensions among the Liberals,
looked oa hopefully, thiaking to re
gain their power aad ascendency when
the Provisional Government had be
come weakened by iateraal ctrnggle

The campaign waa poshed with rigor
