DR.. VIM. Hammond being called
upon for his views on the present
political situation of the country,
spoke at some length, capturing the
native element By his eloquent and
sympathetic speech. The doctor
said he was asked to attend the meet
ing, which was represented to him to
be composed mainly of workingmen.
He was happy in the belief that work.
ingmen we're his hearers, as he loved
that class of people. There were those
infesting the country under the garb
of religion and he warned the Ha-
waiian element to beware of these
wolves in sleeps clothing. If par
ties so disguised accosted and en-
treated them with tears and prayers
for their votes in the coming cam
paign, do not be hoodwinked by
them but turn to those who had the
welfare of the nation uppermost in
their hearts. The speaker referred
to the despotism of Peter the Great
of Russia, who after having reform
ed on sick bed, vowing to do what
was right IN the future, returned on
getting well to his old tricks of viii
lany and cruelty. So if the mission
airy element,as they term themselves,
come to them he begged those pre-
sent to bear in mind Peter the Great.
Let all true-hearted Hawaiians join
hands, stand by each other, be
truthful to each other and, being on
the side of right and God, they
would win the day, despite the fact
they were fighting against odds.
He advised all present when politics
and welfare of the nation are CON
cerned to leave their creed, and
whatever hard feelings they may
harbor against each other, outside.
Be loyal, as union is strength Be
not ashamed to call yourselves
workingmen. God himself iabored
six days, and you are fulfilling that
which your Master exemplilied. The
Lord Jesus dignified labor by having
to work as carpenter. Labor for the
truth, speak the truth, then as you
conscientiously know you are on the
side of righteousness, you will be
successful. Let the coming election
show to the world at large that you
are men and fully aware of the seri-
BUSINESS of your present situation,
DR.. Hammond was loudly applauded
on resuming his seat, several vying
with each other in their enthusiasm
Hon. r. W, Wilcox being called
upon extended his greeting to the
assemblage and said he had nothing
further to say, than that the pre-
vious speaker voiced his own senti-
ments. He referred to the Hui
Kalaiaina as harboring black sheep,
but he would say that if the hearts of
present were with the Hui, he hoped
their those feelings were liberal.
Mr.. Wilcox advised all to vote for
those who would do the most for the
nations welfare in the Legislature,
and he would also advise the Hui
Kalaiaina to join hand in hand with
the liberal party, as that was the
only way to gain victory. If the
different parties in the field had their
respective candidates where would
they be? Nowhere. He referred to
the late Cummins Cabinet. They
had been weighed and found want
ing. If they (the Cabinet) had the
nations welfare at heart, why did
they fight down the amendment TO
the Constitution, which as we all
know was popular movement. The
speaker approved the sentiments of
Hon. A. Rosa, in a speech at the
Mechanics Union meeting the other
evening. He appreciated the fact
that a sovereign should be taught to
look with favor on popular move
ment of the nation. He reyered
and glorified the name of His late
Majesty, who brought Hawaii to the
present high stand of diplomacy
The candidates they put forth in the
coming campaign will be expected to
lead in the way of righteousness and
truth, and the Hawaiian people to
what they rightly deserve-equal
rights. A few days back prince
royal blood - Hoapili--was arrested
by the Marshal and incarcerated in
prison. Now, if the Marshal had
done that to him, without due cause,
he would never see the sun rise on
