That Denial.

Mr.. EDITOR: Wilcox's denial makes
me laugh A man who can make such
speeches can just as easy deny them.
Its the nature OF the animal. 1t does
not seem to be any trouble to get Mr..
Wilcox to deny anything. His chum
Rosa makes a statement that Colonel
Ashford and Wilcox are plotting for an
other revolution. Rumor says land |
believe it cannot be denied as reliable,
persons have seen the deniaD that Ash
ford without any difficulty got Wilcox
while in his office, to write full denial
of Rosa's letter in the Bulletin, and as a
prominent leaders of the Opposition pub
licly stated that unless Wilcox published
denial OF the reported speech in the
Times, he would withdraw from the
ticket (Which We all know he was not
anxious to do, as he had his little axe to
grind it seems the party had little
trouble to force Wilcox to sign denial
written out for him, as it was to sign the
reported one he gave the disturbing
element" OF the country. l laughingly
sign myself. The Laughter.

WILCOX AND CROWLEY's SPEECHES.

The Opposition recognize the fact that
the kind OF speeches which Messrs.
Crowley and Wilcox find necessary to
stir up the native voters will not bear
publication in English, and the unex-
pected publicity which has been given
them has sent a chill down the marrow
bones Of those who were willing to sit
quietly by and reap the benefit OF such
incendiary methods, but who realize tina,
the publication of the speeches has and
must ALLEVIATE from them every lover OF
peace and decency.
Both Wilcox and Crowley are OF the
kind who, when they get into a hole
will either back out or crawl clear through
according to circumstances. They are
unquestionably in a hole, and hav,
adopted the backing out method OF deal
ing with the question.
The affidavits published herewith ar
satisfactory proof to us OF the truth OF tn
reports of the speeches, and plenty NOR
Of the same tenor can be had ii they ar
| required.

In a late issue of the ADVERTISER, in
which an extended expose of Mr.. Bush's
career as Minister of the Interior, was
made, reference was made to contract
with MIR. Thomas, to move and rebuild
a part of the Palace wall. The statement
was made that the work under the con-
tract had never been completed. This
statement was taken from the Report OF
the Finance committee OF 'S4, and was
not made on the authority of the paper.
We are informed by Mr.. Thomas that
the wall was complete except as to the
coping, but that the original wall had
none, and this contract did not call for
one. Our statement was not originally
published with view to duplicating Mr..
Thomas in any illegal transaction, but it
is only fair to Mr.. Thomas that this ex-
PLANTATION should be made.

Shall Segregation OF Leper~ he Relaxed.


Mr.. EDITOR: Having just read DIR.
Morell Mackenzie's article in the Nine
teenth Century, upon the Dreadful Re-
vival OF Leprosy," the impression is
greatly deepened how imperative is the
necessity that our p,esent thorough sys-
tenn Of segregation at Molokai should be
vigorously maintained. If the Reform
party is defeated, ii the King and his ad-
herents obtain even partial influence in
the Government, every sane man must
know that strict segregation will cease TO
be maintained, and leprosy will again
resume its spread.
Mr.. WilcoX's denial OF his reported
speeches may even be true, but every
body knows that the majority OF the
voters, from high TO low, are bitterly op-
posed to the present strict policy, and
that denunciation OF the removal OF lep.
ers has formed chief staple OF the re.
wiling of the present Cabinet Mir
Widemann and Mr.. Dan Logan are, in
some respects, very estimable men, bu
if they succeed they may be as certain as
that the sun will rise that their Wilco2
allies will prevent them from keeping VI
any thorough segregation OF lepers
They are taking a hideous responsibility
in allying themselves with such people
as they may find in other matters beside.

THE NEWS OF THE TREATY.

The Bulletin of January 2Sth says,
that the bark Mary Belle Roberts
brought the news of the treaty. II the
editor will consult the weekly p. G.. A.
OF August 10, 1876, he will see that the
Mary Belle Roberts arrived from San
Francisco sixteen days out with the fol-
lowing telegram to F. F. Low:
WASHINGTON, d. c., July "a, 1876.
Hon. +. +. Low Senate constantly
occupied with impeachment and appro-
priation bills. No opportunity has been
lost. Treaty has powerful enemies, result
this session doubtful.
(Signed) A. A. SARGENT.
In the same file August Goth they will
see that the S. S. City OF San Francisco,
Captain Wardell, arrived August %,
1876, eight days from San Francisco
We quote from the p. G. A. of August
26, 1876, as follows:
Shortly after p. NJ. the S. S. City OF
San Francisco was telegraphed, decksd
with bunting from bowsprit to spanker-
boom, giving immediate assurance that
she was the bearer OF good tidings. The
first boat from the steamer brought a
message that at once caused smile OF
supreme satisfaction to light up the faces
OF the crowd. The treaty bill passed
the Senate August IA, 1876, by vote of
90 to II; was signed by the President on
the 18th and at once became law"
Ii the Bulletin will only figure when
the Mary Belle Roberts arrived and
take her sailing days off from San Fran
cisco, it will see that the Mary Belle
Roberts left San Francisco on the LIST OF
August, 1876, and that it was impossible
for her to bring the news, as the treaty
was not passed until long after the YES
sci sailed.
AS the editor OF the Bulletin is a for
eigner a little inaccuracy on this topic is
very excusable.

Mr.. Crowley's Speech.

Mr.. EDITOR: Your report OF a speech
OF mine, in yesterdays issue, whilst it
contains the substance OF much that
said, is SO disjointed and garbled as TO
place me in false light before the COM
munity. l am no advocate for the use
OF guns and said Il have none, and don t
intend to get one" Is it not therefore
an obvious untruth to make me say, in
the same paragraph, that Il would
handle one"?
l never mentioned Mr.. Thurston' s
name in connection with the case OF guns
which l saw at Kohala, for, as matter
of fact, never knew who sent them, and
| am not given to using peoples names
rashly, nor to Haunting the "bloody
shirt" as Stated in Reform handful.
As matter of common honesty must
request you to publish what did say, as
| have right to object to outrageous
lying, even for campaign purposes.

Internal improvements.

Mr.. EDITOR: In accordance with
plan OF campaign suggested in your paper
few days ago, let me present few
thoughts on the relation of the question
OF internal improvements to the coming
elec ton.
1t is generally agreed that a progress
i've policy OF internal improvements is
necessity for the best interests OF the
country. On the one hand let the voter
consider the present condition OF King
street, Nuuanu street, Bethel street, Ala
kea street, Smith street, and others
which it is not necessary to name, and
compare it with the condition of the
same streets two and half years ago.
Let him observe the changed condition
of the wharves at the harbor, and then
let him consider what similar changes
have taken place all over the Islands.
Is not this what he wants? Certainly it
is; but some voters may want to know
whether this work cannot be carried on
more efficiently by the party now in OPP
position. Let us inquire into that matter
a little.
hT. j. Il. DUSli Is, DtSDul any uOupl,
the candidate of himself and a large
number OF his party friends for the posi-
ton of Minister OF the Interior. His own
speeches indicate this plainly. Now the
people of these islands know pretty we'll
how the internal improvements pro-
crossed when he held the same office
which he now aspires to. Does any hon
est, intelligent voter want to throw
Ill - l.. L.. g
the man who let the contracts for
the Honokaia, Honomalino. Homo
kaa and kaholalele wharves, the
kerosene oil warehouse, the back
palace wall, the Waikane bridge, the
Kaneohe bridge, the Punaluu bridge.
the Waiawa bridge, the Waimau bridge,
the Hanalei bridge, the Anahola bridge,
the Wailua bridge, the Waimea bridge,
and various other contracts contrary to
all business principles and greatly to the
detriment OF the public treasury 90.
But someone may ask ii the others on
the ticket will not restrain him. Two OF
the candidates on the Noble ticket,
Messrs. Walker and Widemann We're
Mobiles at the time when Mr.. Bush was
Minister, and Mr.. Walker was then
Auditor.General. How did MIR. Walker
restrain Mr. Bush when he had the best
opportunity of any man in the Kingdom ?
Probably no more outrageous swindle
| than the Hayselden contracts was
ever perpetrated upon the public treas
| ury. Yet Mr.. Walker himself pre-
scented the accounts for the work, in def
ance of law, and himself audited them,
| in defiance of business prosperity. Does
the public wish to trust Mr.. Walker to
| guard the treasury against dishonest
officials?
Judge Widemann is an honest man,
| but will his parliamentary ability com
| bined with his eccentricities make it
safe to trust him to lead the men associ-
ated with him on the ticket in a decent
course? All candidates should be SINH
| larly examined. Let the voter consider
these questions, and answer them at the
| polls by voting for the men most likely
to promote the general welfare by push
ing forward internal improvements hon
estly, efficiently and intelligently.

examination OF the platform OF the bogus
reform party makes. As We have shown,
It develops four important points OF d
yergence from the principles OF the real
Reform party. But this is not all. On
the first three of these points it might
have preserved silence, but to mention
them and then make them the subject OF
vague, uncertain or meaningless utter
ances was inexcusable, and evidence OF
the boldest insincerity.
The platform is eminently worthy TO
be buried on the fifth day OF February.

1887, as he knew tina, was the party who
was going 10 carry everything before il.
What do We find him then doing? Leg
lslatlve reports show and We wait for his
answer. But then the President of the
Legislature OF 1856 is now on the same
ticket as Widemann, and not the Presi-
dent OF the Legislature OF 1857, who has
already explained Mr. VS. virtuous
action IN throwing up his position, which
he had fooled his constituents in elect
ing him to. Which platform does Mr.
w. intend TO stick TO this time? At any
rate the party who nominated him have
two platforms from which he can shape
ms course and probably fool mis- sup
porters again this session as he did last.

Information Wanted.

Mr.. EDITOR: ! would like a little in
formation. When is the President OF
the Legislature OF 1885 going to write
and deny that the good and virtuous Mr.
Widemann sat with such convicted
reprobate as kekoa was? Did his virtu-
GUS Indignation prevent him then from
sitting in the Legislature, or being even
on the same committee with him? No,
Not at all, Why? Because Mr.. Wide
mann was then as he is now, allied to a
party OF spoils, eager to uphold the King
in all rights and privileges under the old
constitution, and when in order to get in
anyhow he pledged himself to support
the principles OF the Reform party in

THE ADVERTISERS Ministerial "slate, "
in which we posted Messrs. Bush and
Wilcox for Cabinet positions, was de-
nounced by one of our evening contem-
poraries, as low campaign trick to
which none but the most INSCRIPTIONS

of this view, it is interesting to note that
the gentlemen alluded to are now open

SOME sincerely misguided members Of
the Opposition think that they can
"shake" Messrs. Bush and Wilcox after
the election. Unless it is going to be a
hundred times easier then than now,
there is, We fear, little prospect Of sue
cess. Bush and Wilcox are the leaders,
the mouthpieces, the agitators, the fight
ing strength Of their party. To discard
them is to discard their whole backing
throughout the group, and that is the
chief strength Of the Opposition.

paper reporter, which business | have
been engaged in since 1888, both in con-
nection with the ADVERTISER and Bull

ember have been reporter for the Bulletin.
Last Saturday afternoon Mr.. w. A. Kin
ney asked me to report the speeches
that were to be made at the Fish Market
He told me that he would pay me for it..
1t was simply matter OF business with
me. [ am non-partisan in my politics,
and had no interest or object in reporting
the speeches otherwise than correctly.
Mr.. Kinney did not tell me what he
wanted the report for. | went to the
Fish Market and stood within few feet
of the speakers. The report taken by
me of ID. NJ. Crowley's speech is the one
published in the Times, and it is correct
report in every particular. There was
somewhat more than what | took down,
but everything that is stated is correct.
| remember particularly and distinctly
his statement that he did not buy a gun
at the time of the trouble when he was
in kOhala, but that if the Hawaiians
were troubled "I'll handle gun" And
also the statement which he made that
the Government sent twenty-five rifles
and fifty pounds OF ammunition to ko-
hala, enough to kill every Hawaiian in
Kohala, and that Thurston was the one
who sent it to Sheriff Hitchcock.

Henry W. Green.


I, Henry w. Green, upon oath depose
and say that last Saturday afternoon l
was at the Fish Market at the time that
D. NJ. Crowley was making a speech.
He was speaking in English and r. w.
Wilcox was translating it into native.
He was standing on the bench at the
northeast corner Of the market. When
he began was inside the market and
did not hear the first few sentences.
then came and stood near the entrance
within fifteen or twenty feet OF him, and
heard all that he said except the last few
sentences.
/ have read the report of Mr.. Crowley's
speech published in the Times. There
is nothing there stated that he did not
say. l am not positive whether he said
81 have no gun now, but if these men
give trouble to Hawaiians I'll handle a
gum" or whether he said 81 have no gun
now, but if these men give trouble to
Hawaiians I'll have a gun" But i am
positive that it was one or the other.
The speech as reported Is not very full,
as there was a good deal of the same
kind that is not stated, but that which
is stated is correct. H. w. GREEN.
On this 29th day OF January, 1890, per-
sonally appeared before me Henry w.

sworn, deposed that the above statement
