held an enthusiastic meeting yestel-
day evening Hon. r. W. Wilcox,
president, in the chair. Hon. A.
Marques on being called upon for
speech said he was u stranger to the
organization but was not aware OF
the inconsistency of his speaking to
them. He said that the present
state of affairs was very unfavorable,
but there were times coming, and
that at the next election, when things
would he more serious. There were
certain times in the history OF the
world when men have had to consider
that the government Of nation was
of the people and for the people.
The speaker considered that the
native Hawaiian was not being treat
ed as he should be in view of tie
fact that he was the arlstocrat OF his
own soil. He expected the next
election campaign to be for the
benefit of all, and also that men
would be sent to the Legislature who
had the interests of one and all up
permost in their minds. The point
however that they must realize is
union is strength. People in Portu-
gal and Spain are proclaiming Re
publicanism and he considered 1t
was form of government they
needed badly here. We are at pre-
sent suffering through the Mckinley
bill and not only that but mlsman-
agement of governmental affairs also.
1t is nothing more than proper that
the management of nations gov
eminent should be given to native
of the soil. The future prosperity
and welfare OF the government
rested with the people, and, as he
said before, union is strength, he
advised the coming together of the
different political parties in the field
at present and pulling for good and
honest government. (Applause.)
Hon. VIM. White of Lahaina was
the next speaker and on rising thank
ed the audience for the honor of
speaking to them. He had heard
many people talking about establish
ing a republic III Hawaii. Now for
himself he considered that the Ha
waians could not be made to eat it,
but they would raise such a bubbub
that nothing short of small-sized
revolution would appease their wrath.
If the present government were car
rying on business as they were ex-
pected to do, everything would 90 On
swim ningly The Reform Party
were silent but he expected an out
break IN the near future in that
quarter. Last election he (the
speaker had to paddle his own canoe
and he carried Lahaina by storm.
Next election he was assured and
confident that he would receive 300
votes out of possible 400 in his
district. In fact he had cinch on
one of the seats in the next Legisla-
ture. The speaker was reported in
the Advertiser as saying things he
had no intention of saying, and that
paper did not suit him. 1t was like
castle on cocoanut tree, he could
not reach, but if he did, he'd floor
it. Mr.. White wound up his remarks
with a witty criticism of President
KahOonei of the Hui Kalaiaina.
Mr.. d. L. Huntsman, being called
upon for speech, aired his senti-
ments somewhat freely, beginning
with Ireland's eagerness to establish
republic and what he thought was
similar sentiment among Hawai-
ians. People who were talking
r against a republic were not aware Of
its meaning. He thought the inter
ests of the foreign element were as
much at stake as those OF the Ha
waiians. All they wanted was gooC
government and in republican form
at that He spoke about Mott Smitl
being delegated to Washington t
consummate some plans of the pres
; ent government. He did not thinl
Mr.. Smith was the right man to sent
there, as the new Auditor Genera
was fit candidate and should hav,
been delegated When the mex
Legislature met he hoped it woulC
make the commencing of repub
lican government The question o
the ceding of Pearl Harbor as coal
ing stationi to America was upper
most in everyone's mind, but he con
- sidered that the natives are sus
picious and jealous race and have al
/ idea that the Yankees are on a steal
ing expedition and want to purloil
and annex the place. But til,
speaker thought America honest il
her advances and hoped that befor
; long he would welcome republican
form of government in Hawaii

Mes3rs f. II. +. WoIters and r
S. Scrimgeour also gave speeche
favorable to republication. Boil
gentlemen coming from Queensland
J advised a similar form of govern
ment to that country.
