the other hand, there was not Il man
on the Reform ticket TO whom untold
gold could not be trusted. Their
platform was one that he did not
wonder should he stolen. 1t was Il
great treat for him to have heard
the bit Of history given by Mr..
Thurston, but it only confirmed
what he knew before. The OPPOSE

trying to sell the country were like

threw up Qaughter). Viewing the
progress made under the Reform
Government, he did not believe that
one man in the party desired to see
the country anything but indcpcnl-
cnt. They knew who was the coun-
try's best friend. He was Bri-
fisher but did not wish to see the
country under British rule Gap

being traitors for trying to increase
relations with the States. lie had

not want this gem Of the Pacific.

1t seemed what was meant was all

lie would sooner have his throat cut
than do anything that would make
this country any harder for the lIa-

Opposition that misreprcsented
them, but the mean tools that party
had to work wilh--those miserable
falslliers, rs he had to describe
them, although he had not intended
to say any hard things that night.
Native llawaiians should not believe
the election charges that the Re
form Party wanted to sell the coun-
try. None of them wanted but that
the Hawaiian flag should wave over
the islands for thousands of years.
The Opposition made great handle

however, but rs strong for the party
outside as he would be in the House.
The Reform Party was prepared to
give what could have been got last
session only for the unfortunate alb.
sence of Messrs. Kinney, Baldwin,
and Foster. 1t would have been
got, anyway, if Mr.. Kinney had in
troduced it, in the first place, in the
shape in which it was left. The
speaker had been viIlainously mis-
represented and viliiied on this
question by men from whom other
things should have been expected
(applause). lie was confident the
Reform Party if given majority
would satisfactorily deal with the
question. He was not disgruntlcd
although little disappointed, but
would vote the straight ticket
and hoped they should all do
likewise. Yet, if any of them were
inclined to do any scratching they
should be careful what they were
doing, as two different term men
could not be crossed without spoil
ing the ballot for both. Gap

Mr.. $. NJ. Kaaukai said he would
consider himself fortunate if he
received the votes of half the gen
tlemen present. by naive illustra-
tions that kept the audience roar
ing, he impaired advice to the cleo
tors as to the choice they should
make. The Opposition speakers by
their language indicated they thought
that there were not enough people
in the country who used bad lam
guage. They said some good things
but drifted into foul talk and dis
cussion of the country's independ.
ence. If such events as those of
the 3Oth July were continued, then
their independence would surely 90.
Oppositionists said the country would
lose its independence through the
success of the Reform Party, but
failed to show how that was to hap
pen. The improvements in the
country made under the Reform
Party proved that the talk Of the
Opposition was idle. He was now
going to assume the check of ask
ing them to vote for him next We'd
nesday (laughter), and it would be
their fault if he should be left. Vote
the Reform ticket and don't forget

Mr.. Jas. +. Morgan received an
ovation on coming forward. He
told of remark made to him by q
candidate for Noble on the National
Reform ticket at the first of the
campaign, that their side would use
honorable tactics. Look at them
