constant tumult, and l believe il has
been threatened within recent date that
this country Will never be satisfied until
there is another bloodShed. until there
is such s bloodshed as will red the
streets OF this country, and that will be
the satisfaction to them. And l can as
sure YOU, gentlemen, that we who own
property here-who must live and die
here@for l cannot do better l must

country who viii profit BY it will have
10 stand by 1t and Dust such dcspicable
characters. (Applausel regret very
much 10 have occupied so much
OF your time. l will now SIM

which has been so exaggerated by the
Ministers OF the Crown, 10 the effect that

mass meeting, had access 10 the situation
and had not reported 10 general mass
meeting as | was instructed. / may
have mistaken little in not calling an
other convention, but without my own
knowledge | was appointed chairman OF
that committee, and assure YOU, gen.
tlemen that the only object Of that COM
mittee WAS TO find out what the street
rumOrS meant, whether treaty was in
fact signed, or whether it Was being ne
gotiSted, or what WAS done, and the OBJ
lect OF our meeting was TO get IT it,
and committee was appointed. We
approached His Majesty, and he said
nothing was done; and in Difference TO
the Cabinet We went 10 them, and they
eorroborated His Majesty, sereatim,
word for word. all matters, and
II simply amounted 10 this that
= negotiation was pending which
they said they had not sanctioned, but
II simply had been Smuggled in TO them
by some other person who Was mem
Der Of the Hawaiian legation at Wash
IngtOn who had advanced il 10 them
and It was talked Of and discussed and
they had given their views. Ii would
have been better for the good Of the
country, but the object Of that mass
meeting WAS simply TO inquire into, and
they having received the answer It WAS
given 10 the different mem oers and it
WAS published in the different news
papers, and don't see by that act that
We had accepted the situation. ZAP
pl&uSe). That has been spoken Of be-
Cause we had not reported TO the gen
eral mass meeting that We had accepted
the situation. Now, gentlemen, We did
not accept the situation Is they put it
We accepted it in this point of view that
there was no treaty signed, that it was
simply : negotiation, that all We asked
Of the King was that If any such was
done that II be LETT TO the choice OF the
people, and hence We have heard in the
newspapers that if any such thing should
come OF that before popular Ministry,
they would put It TO the people and If
they want it they shall stay there and
vote for that. (Applausel. It has been
reported that : recent tUmult had occur
red between the King and his Cabinet,
the result OF which We do not know, but
We have only letters appearing
in the press Of one side and
Of the other Now l think it is
wrong for the Cabinet in spite OF the
protest OF native mass meeting, after
those who conducted and called meet

protest 70 their King, to whom they have

plSuse.) AS I have stated in my pre-
hmin2ry Hawaiian address It appealed to
my heart TO see so many Hawaii2ns as
sembled here, native HSwaiians and
those associated with the Hawaiian
people without any distinction Of race.
1t is in fact meeting OF national intent.

contra distinctive with the revolution of
1857 that that revolution to mymind was
not native Hawaiian revolution and
cannot be considered Of the people and
for the people Of this soil. (Appl2use.l
And It must be remembered, gentleman,
that We have few among those who
would have been the strength and who
were the strength Of that revolution,
such men as We have here tonight, the
men who were the bone and sinew of that
revolution who are willing to die not
wishst2uding their wives and children

further opportunity viii be gwen me
either In this town or elsewhere, to be

be somewhat OF the same sample, but l
give It def2ntly, because l believe it IS
the sentiment Of every honest man who
