r. w. Wilcox's Speech.
My friends who have come to-
gether here, l think about half of
you belong here in the fifth district,
and the rest of you came from the
other districts. Only two of US be-
longing on our ticket have come |
here. myself and the candidate for
the second district, William Cum
mings.
1 have got great deal to say to
you tonight. 1 am going to wait
and state everything at the Fish
Market tomorrow at 4 o'clock.
The 9Th day of February is draw
ing near, the day for the election,
the day on which you are to show
your love for your country, the
country that Kamehameha l. joined
together and made one, and in that
way, Honolulu became a city.
strongly urge you to show your
love of your country, and to listen to
this voice which is the voice of life;
look out carefully for your ballots.
Vote for the National party, the
ticket which will be the salvation of
you, oh Hawaii and if you give
| onn,on{ InL uor-o,,ons than
you will have country of your own.
The newspaper called the Guard
of the People" has come out to-day
with some articles abusing us very
strongly. That newspaper should
be called and it would be very APP
propriate too, THE Guard of Rob
bers."
Your rights were taken from you,
the rights of the King were taken
out of his hand, and he remains
stripped like naked image This
is time for us to show our love of
country. There are great many
dishonest things that these people
have done and are still doing. They
call themselves reformers. They are
leformers only on the face and not at
heart, behind all their professions
there is death, this is the party that
is trying 70 take away your right to
vote, 0, 1ative Hawaiian, and also to
deprive you of your right to a trial
by jury. What am now stating to
you is the real truth.
This constitution that has been made
by them, is a very bad one. This
constitution was made for the bene-
fit only of the rich people, and the
King like fgure-head has to sit by
and look on while they carry things
on. The laws are carried out and
executed in very bad way in Ha
. waii.
This is an old failing of our chiefs
that of being easily deceived, that
: has come down to Kalakaua. MIR
l Gibson was found at last, man who
was far removed from the old ring
!, a man who enlightened the native
Z Hawaiians. When this ring saw
that they had no authority in run
ming the Government, they began tt
say how bad Gibson was running
/ things; how foolish and SO on. So
e they prepared a new constitution
+ which was got ready by those rebels
and the judges joined in this work
This is bad constitution that wa
Y got up with bad intent, it is an at
tempt to utterly wipe out the nativ
Hawaiians from off the country
These doings are very bitter AM
e bad.
o If you will vote so that the Ma
k tional ticket is elected, then thes
n ministers will be driven out iron
J. their places. I suppose when the.
n see that the National party is victc
Is rious, they will say that the consti
- tuition of the National party is a ba'
:, one, and they will try to get up an
IL other revolution. l think if W
get good constitution, then W
T. ought to re organlze some nativ
Hawaiian military companies an
they protect the Government; thes
companies should be drilled and in
% structed until they are skillful, the
* the country will have peace. w
y don't want these white men who ar
50 wandering about and coming here
% they are a good for nothing lot, a
asSS they want is money, and when the
% get it they get up and go away.
50 is only the real natives of the cour

81 their own land.
It. is just the same way with me
I should go away and be gener;
In in the army of some other countr,
re my love for my own native Ian

The law should be so changed tn;
the Cabinet Ministers should /

The King should be the powt

" Ii things were done this way her
to instruct and have an efficiel
