Republican Victory lu Hawaii.
San Francisco,- Nov. 12.—'The ship
Alameda from Honolulu brings
news that the recent election in the
territory of Hawaii resulted in
•weeping republican victory. Prince
Ralanianaole. popularly known
‘Prince Cupid," was elected delegate
to congress oyer Robert W. Wilcox,
the incumbent and democratic candi
date, by a majority of over two thou
sand The legislature will oe almost
entirely republican, as fi teen republi
can ^psesehtatlves and five senators
h&<* begn elected. The prince is a
fqU-blboded-Hawaiian, and has in the
PASfc; beerf’.'identified with the home
rulfr^ety. The result of the election,
it is thought by republicans, marks
the end of the borne rule party and a
division of the voters along the lines
of r^gtybtfcftnism end democracy, as
the mAjtiland. It ia also regarded
dtyporibg* largely of the race issue
and the issrie of royalism in Hawaiian
poUtics,^foe the campaign of Wilcox
was^largely btt'ed on his record as a
£oyalist^nd| on race feeling. The
most promlneift Issue In the campaign
was the proposal of Wilcox to place
thft leper settlement on the island of
jMolokal under federal control, which
he embodied in a bill introduced in
the last 'session of congress. It is
highly unpopular in Hawaii The
white votw was very strong for “Prince
Cupid" and the republican ticket. The
democrats were dlyi^ed.
