The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-09-18

minister to you the censure OF this Legisla-
ture. 1t is with all the greater pain that
do this, so that | can scarce restrain the
tears in my eyes, when remember that
two years ago you and | were standing to-
gether shoulder to shoulder, fighting the
battles of good government. And now
that right principles have triumphed in
this country, you have been sent to dis
charge the solemn and responsible duties
of representing the people and guarding
their interests in all things. In order that
the interests of people be truly represen-
ted it is necessary that there should be alb
solute freedom from suspicion OF the rep
resentatives of the people. 1t Is proved
that in connection with the Constitutional
amendment before the House money has
been given to influence the vote Of this
Legislature. and your name has been
dragged into prominence in connection
with this serious matter. And the House
by vote has declared, not by large ma
jority and not on question OF allowing
you to go scot free, but that instead of be-
ing ANONYMOUSLY expelled you should re-
ceive the censure OF this honorable body.
1t is necessary in all matters of this kind
that every man should keep himself abso-
lutely free from. all suspicious circum-
stances, and it was your duty to have
spurned with scorn the money that ka-
uhi put into your possession, without hest
tatlng, without waiting moment. 1t IS
on account of your conduct at that time
and in that matter that / now administer
to you the censure and the reprimand of
this House. Sergeant-at-Arms, you will
conduct the member to his seat.
The member was conducted to his place
accordingly.
