The waters Of Nuuauu, Makikl and Manoa. Wise

Ny friends, as you 60 from here remember
what I have said 10 YOU Do your duty
tomorrow without fear, whether you are soldiers
0E police or citizens you have a right to vote as
you please. No one has a night TO force you to
vote the government ticket or any other. You are
free men. Let it be said from Hawaii to Niihau
that the voters Of Honolulu voted without fear
and sent DO government officers TO the Assembly
of 1891
