Hawaiian people.
Hon. r. w. Wilcox: ] have
nothing much to say. I came to
listen to the speaker announced to
address tonight. There are two
questions now being advocated in
our midst: republicanism and an
nexation. l would like to discuss on
republicanism in the future. The
natives abhor the word republic"
They do not understand it's meaning.
I want to enlighten you. The gov
eminent of today is rotten. The
word republic is from the Latin,
espublica-"res" he mea, and pub
lica" ka lehulehu. In America every
citizen is a sovereign. Democracy
is very good government. During
the reign of Napoleon III. of France
the people rose up and deposed him.
They elected President. The old
adage of Rome "Vox populi, vox
DEL" means that God helped them in
electing a good ruler to the throne.
You must have a good sovereign to
rule over you. Queen Maria Antoi-
nette who married Louis XVII. of
France, suffered death at the guillo-
tine, so great was the uprising of the
people. She was a good Christian
lady. Napoleon Bonaparte rose
from humble position in Corsica
and became a great man in France
He became an Emperor. He brought
awe upon the whole of Europe. We
have our kings from the bravest OF
soldiers. When Kamehameha Y
died, we lost the last of the
Kamehamehas. King Lunalilo die
not announce himself as 6
descendant of the Kamehame
has. We have agreed that Liliuo
kalani should reign over US. If we
had known that she would disregard
us, perhaps we would not have con
sented to her becoming our queen
Every man is an aristocrat. God die
not make us slaves. At our next
meeting I shall enumerate the
whole history of republics, begin
ming with the Republic of ancient
Greece to that of Rome, under kings
and Presidents laughter
Hon. Jos. NAwAHI Mr.. Ashford

speaks in favor of it Il shall oppose

King Kalakaua, because he loved US
President Grant was elected for TIVE

ten different governments now in tn
world.
Hon. J. E. Bush spoke concerning
the three kinds of governments nov
being advocated by different classes
of people in this kingdom-mon
archy, Republicanism and annexa
ton. No ruler can be popular witt
his subjects unless he is endowed
with the sense of justice. Balmaced
was dictator, and he was of no u.s.
to the Chileans. Our Queen ha
done nothing for us; she is of no US
to us. But I know for fact that on
Queen recognizes the cause of op
preston among us; it is the unius
Constitution. She would like to have
new constitution. A constitution i
of little use unless justice and low
are among its leading principles
Without justice there is no peace, n,
equity.
