The electors ol the third eleotion distriot of Honolulu will meet to*night at ha)f'pnst seven o'eloek in the oid armoiy on Qaecn street. Mr. A.

Several other candidates and popular speakei>: Are a noonr»ced to be present ' who tt:!! «\ af > p.ddre«s tbe elector« present Thk Advert«ser has just discovered that a must hold HUgar stock to represeut t4 sng?u;" and that as Slr.W.

The Advertiser 18 sorry it mt.de this discovery, becuuse it fears it wiil reduce the governnaent ti?kot to the politioal absurdity of whisky straight and prayers crooked! Thew need bo no fear, g»od Advertaser, the |>eople are pretty certain to *fciok to tho euphonioua title that iits in with the facts, viz.: that tho gov ernment paffy has put fortU a ticket representiug <4 whisky, sugar and prayers'' straight through!
