house, which was granted. On Mon

Mr. Cummings, candidate of the
1st District, introduced the speakers
of the evening. Messrs. j. Prender
CAST and W. Ii. Cummings were the

ing.
Hon. A. MARQUES: Fellow citizens:
The Liberal party is the party of the
people; however, some of our oppo-
nents have told you that we are
what we are not In campaign,
free speech is indulged in, but it
should not extend to using utter
ances damaging to the character.
We favor a new constitution because
the present one is bad It is absurd
for our opponents to say that we are
revolutionists, because we are pledg-
ed to do nothing save by peaceful
means. Mr.. Frank K Archer by his
withdrawal has shown himself to be
true Hawaiian, and has q patriotic
heart. It is folly for Mr.. j. Heleluhe
to persist in running, for he is part
ly convinced that he will be defeated
on election day. l glory In the
Queen during this campaign because
she keeps herself above politics. Her
present attitude renders her more
respectable in our estimation. We
of the Liberal party have the highest
respect for Her Majesty, and we are
certain that Heleluhe, one of her SER
wants, runs without her approval. L
am sure if Mr. Heleluhe were here IN
person, [ could convince him that
his persistency in running against
another Hawaiian is very foolish, be-
cause that will only help Mr.. Cum
mings to defeat by foreigner. APP
plause.
S. K. Ak applausel: Citizens:
You are to show your independence
on election day, and you cannot do
it better than by voting for Mr.. w.
II. Cummings. Vote for our Noble
ticket, too; they will remove your
grievances, with these few remarks l
will close my speech.
e. B. THOMAS: Mr.. Cummings has
been faithful to your interests dur
ing the last election, and his action
has won for him the admiration OF
foreigners. am glad that Mr. f.
Archer has withdrawn, for the votes
will now be concentrated on Mr..
Cummings. His chances for election
are better now. This election is the
most important in the history of the
Hawaiian Islands Upon it depends
the destiny of the Hawaiian race.
Asiatic laborers arrive here by the
shipload almost monthly. Do you
want Chinese to come here? Out Of
10000 Chinese that have come here,
only 430 women have come. APP
plauseI If this continue, what state
of affairs do you expect to have in
twenty years? Smiles and laughter
Doyou wish to sacrifice foreigners
to those Cinnamon? There are
nearly 10000 Japanese here. There
are more Japanese and Chinese here
than native men, women and chill
dren, yet the planters still thirst for
more The Aslatic laborers are doing
IS per cent. of the mechanical labor
in this city. They have taken UP
blacksmithing, restaurant keeping,
shoe shops, tailoring, etc. There
stands house run by Cinnamon to-
day, the lower story blacksmith
shop, the next carpenter shop, and
the top story a restaurant. The Chi
nese can live very cheaply, and
therefore they can carry on these
trades. The candidates of the Lib
eral party are working men, men like
you, therefore, they are interested in
your welfare. The National Reform
party has not submitted their plat
form to you. They are not salts
fed with 10000 Japanese and Chi
nese, but they want to bring in 20,
600 Indian coolies. It will not affect
the foreign mechanics more than the
native mechanics, because the for
mer can pack up and leave when the
state of affairs becomes very bad
but the Hawaiians are destined tC
die here, therefore, gentlemen, don't
make a mistake.-Vote for the Lib
eral party. You will be we'll re
warded if you vote for your faithful
Mr.. Cummings. LApplauseI;

Those who have never seen Waikiki

place has been compared by the poet

Greece. The Greeks were the most
cultured, warlike, progressive, en-
lightened people that the world has
ever seen. But through allowing
the foreigner to come in, they have
fallen, and probably will never re-
gain the high station which they
once possessed There is lesson
