The Hawaiian gazette., 1884-02-06

II the voters OF Honolulu to-day desire
a full investigation of the acts of the Gov
eminent during the past two years they
will vote the Independent ticket. What a
poor team the government ticket presents.
Mr. Kaulukou, full of windy rhetoric,
whose stentorian lungs have been called
into play to shout electioneering addresses,
but who will make very poor statesman.
Should this gentleman be elected, we may
look for lengthy session, he will howl,
shout and gesticulate in the House, to the
elhui of all who are DESTROYS of getting
through the business of the country quick
ly Mr. John I. Baker, known to the Ho-
nolulu public as the brother of the nominal
author of a silly pamphlet which he did
not write 4 man full of vanity, who
knowing but a smattering thinks he knows
everything. Mr.. Lilikalani lays his claim
to Legislative honors as the father of the
liquor bill and the author of the $4,000,
600 loan act not that he was the author
of either of these measures, but he likes to
put the lions skin over his own but
ike the celebrated animal in the fable, he
cannot hide those melodious tones which
betray him so thoroughly. Mr.. Keau is a
hard working man we believe, but that in
itself, without other qualifications, does
not constitute claim for representing
the intelligence, commercial ability and
wealth of the capital.
On the other hand let the electors look
at the men that are put forward on the In
dependent ticket
Mr. j. o. Carter, (Keo Kaaka) who heads
the ticket has the confidence of the whole
community, native and foreign. A thor
oughly honest man. in whom even his OPP
ponents cannot find thing to cavil at, a
Hawaiian born, man whose record is be
fore the public, since his earliest days of
manhood, tried man in official work, he
is the man we need, and we hope to see
his name at the head of the poll.
Mr.. J. Z. Kawainm has shown himself
fearless exponent of wrong doing in
official high places, he has suffered for his
freedom of speech; he has been unjustly
ousted from the Privy Council and from
the Board of Education, because he, a Ha-
waiian dared to say home truths, and we
may expect the same fearlessness of speech
and examination when he reaches, as we
hope he will do, the Legislative Chamber
Mr.. kalaukoa, Is an excellent speaker
and is an honest and upright man; he
commands influence and respect among
his own race and those of other national
tiles that are acquainted with him
Lastly there is A. X. Kunuiakea: an Ali
The government partizans talk as if there
were no Aliis left Kunuiakea, an Ali

a well known protege of Queen Emma
