Hon. j. l.. kaulukou. cN.mcmhtr Of the
Legislature from koolaupoko, present candi
date for representative from Honolulu, and
boiy aud soul Gibson man, next came for
ward from the rear Of the room where he had
q crowd Of soldiers, and turned his lowcry
rhetoric loose in euiogy OF the government
in general and Mr.. Gibson in particular. lie
said What is all Ibis talk about the Pacific
Mail contract II there was a contract why
was It no; in writing2 and If it is in writing,
why is i not produced here tonight
Mr. Dole; "rhcrc is contract in
writing and it is now in the office Of Messrs. II.
lIackfeld and Co., together with reseisson
OF the contract by the government, stating no
reasons, and stating that the contract has been
given to Mr. Sprceklcs.
MIR. Kaulukou; The speakers who have
stood before me have stated that the present
cabinet is bad one, and that Mr Gibson is
ud man. They say that he is bringing the
country into trouble; that he is wasting
money; that he is acting contrary TO law and
against the interests Of Hawaiinae. Is it SOP

think that Mr.. Gibson is the best man We ever
had in the cabinet. Is it not so2 Chorus in
the rear, led by Mesrs Webb and Tesiar, the

ment and Of Mr.. Gibson. Decisive laughter

much for even the rear guard. The Oppo
sition say that Mr.. Gibson is responsible Tor
the present liquor law. Yes, he is, and so am

old law allowed a negro as black as a pot to
walk proudly up TO the bar and pay for his
drink, while it said to a man like me, you can
sneak into the back loom and drink in secret
Mr. Gibson is a friend of Hawaii and Of the
| lIawaiians. / feel sure that among all the
patriots whose names 60 down to posterity,
the name OF Kalallaua and OF Gibson will ever
be linked together and thought Of with afrec-
ton as the two greatest beneiactors Of the
Hawaiian race. tGreat applause by the Webb
military combinationl
Hon. G. w. Pilipo next took the stand,
having called NJ. W. Il. Castle to the chair,
and saidI now speak to you TIawaiians who
have skin. like my own. Our constitution
gives the King twenty votes in the Legislature,
and ii gives US, the people, but twenty-eight.
These twenty eight votes are the sole guarantee
that We have that our rights will be respected
The last speaker has tried to defend Gibson
and his ministry. Has he done it1 Has he
made out his case2 Has he explained Why
the government cannot pay its debts' Has he
explained to you the deficit in tho treasury,
such rs was never known before in the history
OF the country Has he told you what benefit
You and ! are to derive from the commissioners
Japan and Europe and the South Seas tell
you this ministry IS a disgrace 10 the country,
and kauukou has made out no defence for it,
because there is no defence that can be made.
Their methods OF retaining power stamp them
as enemies to the country. They are con.
stantly trying to bolster themselves up by
encouraging race prejudices. They Try tc
divert attention from their own scandalous
actions by setting the red skin against the
white skin. II the independence Of this
country is to continue, it is by the joint
effort of natives ami foreigners who love theii
country, and he who would SOW discord be.
tween the races is not the one to be trusted al
the head Of our government. 1t is no, such
traitors as Lot kauukou that are going 10 tel
you the truth. lie was one Of the traitors whc
was member in the Infamous legislature Of
1880, and he has again shown himself to be
such heie to night II IS not by electing such
men as he is that our rights are to be main
tanned, therefore, fellow-eitizcns of Honolulu
before you cast your ballots a, the coming
elec,ion, first ascertain who the homes, candi
dates are, who the Independent candidates are
who the candidates are who will vote in you,

selves to follow wheresoeyer Gibson and hi
ministry may lead.
The following preamble and resolutions
we're then presented by Mr.. Pilipo, aud hay.
