1Wp'i0a. Tremendous opplnusc.)
Aud these, gentlemen, we will stand
up u ccmhat as long as we have life
left in us. Cloud Opplouse.) We
all of us bear loyalty TO the sovereign,
and yon all occupy the same position
at our back, for we see before us
the portraits OF the King and Queen,
showing that you are as loyal as any
of the representatives of the country.
Yet we consider it lamentable
thing that the sovereign of these
Islands should not have the best Of
men in the people by which he is
surrouuded--tha lie is led away by
evil counsels, that he has been
led away. l speak it kindly, that
it appears by the counsels he follows
that lie has the qualification of his
own desires at heart. (Appiause.)
] say this, sir, not out of any un-
kindness of feeling for him, but in
sorrow that he should be led away
10y men who have such lust for
place and power that they will sacri-
flee every principle of truth and
justice to hold their positions. Cloud
applause.) Let us look away from
these things little and let me draw
your attention to the gentlemen 10y
whom 1 have been surrounded in the
Legislature. 1t is not | who have
done anything, but it is my friends
here, mobiles and representatives,
who have done all that could he
done to support the independence of
the country and to uphold the sover-
eighty of the King, which some Of
his alvcrsaries seem to he under
mining to the best of their power.
Cloud applnuse.) All honor to these
men is due. They have appointed
me as leader, but they have fought
the battles. They have done their
best for the good Of the community
and for the good Of every gentleman
| see here tonight, When l see this
motto, rs the gentleman who wrote
the address said---lt will only be q
short time that evil will triumph, and
right shall prevail, and you and all
shall feel the benefit of it and honor
the men who have been the means of
accomplishing it."
y At the conclusion of the speech,
Mr.. Jones called for three cheers
for Hon. G. Rhodes, which were
responded to with will that fairly
shook the building. Mr.. Kauhane
next spoke as follows:
GENTLEMEN AT the unanimous
request of my fellow members,

their behalf, and express our APP
probation of your efforts in thus
publicly endorsing our course in the
