translate:
"a short time SINCE there came loud call
from the people Of Lahaina to Gibson, apkipg
HIN to be again the mouth piece Of their district,
which first honored him its Representatives He
replied, expressing his great regret that he could
not comply with their desire, because his time was
fully taken up with his two newspapers, and other
usiness. He told them, that in publishing these
newspapers he by no means forsoOk his platform,
floor of the Assembly. Some days had elapsed,
when, like the swelling of the strong incoming
tide, came the demand Of numerous friends In
Honolulu, in the name OF the district Of kona, 70
consent to the use of Gibson's name rs a candi-
date for the leadership and spokesman in the
coming Session. Gibson wished to crafty them,
but in view of his various engagements. no gave
the same answer as to those Of Lahaina, which
was that his time was fully occupied with his own
business. But the earnest heartfelt desires Of his
to- to

fixed upon his own business affairs but as his
labors for the good of the nation, and for all
men. therefore he would accede TO their demand.
and listen to the loving voice which asked for his
services on their behalf"
Then follow three very howery paragraphs,
illustrating the great unanimity of the people in
wanting Gibson AZ n candidate and their Joy ut
his acceptance. And then
The people are aware that there were some bad
and crooked doings i'll the Sessions of 1873 and
1850, and there will be many more of the sort
that will come up in 1882. The signs of the times
are full of warning to the who will do his
duty to the nation without fear of consequences;
and that man is Gibson. Some foreigners make
their boast of having been born in Hawaii mel.
1t is true that Gibson WAS not born here but
what difference does that make The place of a
mans birth il of no Importance. and does not
make him good man /; but the heart is the basis
of mans character. There plenty who
boast of Hawaiian BIRTH but when their character
and their acts are scrutinized it will appear that
they have foreign hearts, devoted to foreign
country. Numerous were the native-born of
Hawaii who strove earnestly with King Iunalilo to
sell piece of Hawaii mel (Puuloa,) and that was
at time when Lunalilo was lying abed very sick.
But Gibson, who though born in a foreign land
has Hawaiian heart, worked earnestly and
strongly against the scheme, and the insidious
designs of these Hawaiian-born foreign-hearts
Gibson much desires the forwarding of every
thing that will be for the good of this country
but most of all he desires the preservation of tho
pG9hr sy y Tse a but BE- finds 5
reward and his satisfaction in the love of the peo-
pie. sn
"In the years that have passed, Gibson has
worked hard to secure tho proper care and comfort
of the lepers and he hopes To still further work
for that object for the plans proposed by the
patriotic legislature Of 1880 for the benefit of tho
sick, as well as for other objects, have not been
carried out by the self seeking and wrong-doing
Ministry.
Where is the sum of $4,000 appropriated for
special hospitals on all the IslandsY
And the sum Of 1900, for the China Line of
steamers
..And the $4,000 appropriated for the Pail road
of Nuuanu?
"And the 100000 appropriated for marine
railway !?
Where are the other large sums of money, that
in the national treasury, and appropriated by
the representatives for various public works All
be raked up, examined and reported on and Glib
son il the ono to sft them he will diligently
search with open eyes, undeterred by the frowns
of any Minister, and will do the work fearessly.
"How about the people of Kaanapai who
disappointed BY the decision Of the Attorney
General they are deprived Of their voting rights.
Perhaps that may be law, but it 10 contrary to
established right and to time honored customs,
and the Legislature only has authority tn correct
the wrong If, indeed, there IN wrong. And now,
the people Of Kaanapali are hereby advised to
mittee to 60 before the Inspectors Of Election mt
Lahaina, and ask for the appointment Of deputies
for Kaanapal And on the day Of election, to
hold their election and to send the proper certii
cate to be laid before the Assembly.
"Gibson runs here in Honolulu not because no
Inns aloha for Honolulu people only BY no
means Gibson is for the whole Hawaiian Islands.
His Lahaina friends elected him in times past /;
lot them not think he has now deserted them. His
heart il with them, and with all for progress. He
il the servant of the whole Hawaiian people"
