at the Queen street Armory last
night was quite well attended
Hon. J. E. Bush presided The
following committee was appointed
to nominate a candidate for Noble,
and to, report next Thursday:
@5E. Bush, J. Nawahi, D. K.
Kamakauwila, J. N. Bipikane, D.
K. Kahuakai, J. Kahahawai, J. X.
Prendergast, Sam Kekukahiko, J.
Kailimai, L. w. P. Kanealii, G. w.
Kualaku, R. Palau, D. w. Pua, w.
Kalaehao, J. K. Paele.
Mr.. John Poe wanted the commit
tee to select q native Hawaiian as
their candidate for Noble, as he said
haoles had too often proved false to
their native constituents.
Hon. q. p. Kamauoha reproved Mr..
Poe for his anti haOle sentiments.
Continuing, he said: We must remain
peaceful and watch the attitude of our
Queen. We trust that she will APP
point capable men for her Cabinet,
and that her appointments will merit
our approval. The Liberals are an
important political body and should
ever be awake to the true interests of
the country. The selection of Cabi-
net is an onerous task, therefore we
should not be hasty.
Hon. J. w. Bipikane said that the
Liberals have not been successful in
obtaining new Constitution because
their number is small, and he blamed
the Liberal voters for returning to the
House such small number. There
are plenty of petitions before the Leg
islature asking for a new Constitu-
ton, but the Liberals are powerless
to carry out the wishes of the people.
Do you now advise us to select only
Hawaiians? Why did you not vote
that way before? You can't teach
Bipi! You are fools! L am not.
A raging kanaka stood up and de-
nounced Mr.. Bipikane for using such
improper language before the Lib
erals. He blamed him for not MAX
ing firm stand in the interest of his
constituents. The speaker, however,
was Kissed by the audience and he
was obliged to take his seat.
Hon. L. w. P. Kanealii wanted the
Liberals and the Hui Kalaiaina to
unite, as that would be the only way
of gaining victory. The last elections
were proof of the folly of party spirit.
The native must take stand as a
Hawaiian, and not to make vain
dent. An anti-Hawaiian spirit was
displayed in the Legislature when a
Hawaiian introduced certain reso-
luton, but was voted down because it
emanated from a Hawaiian. I tell
you without fear, that our leaders
have abandoned US! We do not want
weak man to be leader! Ia
voice: Pololei; correct.] To-day, the
different political parties in the House
are at variance. They would not
agree as to a Cabinet. They sub
mitted Cabinet to the Queen,
but she would not have them because
they are annexationists. Place your
trust upon an independent and trust
worthy leader, and not on one who
has played false to you. The Bank
ing and the Lottery bills are before
the House, and they are causing
much opposition from the members.
There are only six true Liberals in
the House now.
Hon. William White: One of the
greatest questions before the nation
the new Constitution-has not come
portant measure is the Louisiana
Lottery bill. This bill has been de.
nounced because it would bring poy
erty aud misery upon the nation. Are
there not worse evils existing IN thi
country to day? Why do not the
missionaries put an end to them
The missionaries are dead against thu
Lottery bill because they want th
country to be annexed to America

who are bringing opium into til

Hon. Jos. Nawahi desired the Hs
waiians to unite and cast off part
spirit. He gave his opinion on tn
situation.
Hon. J. E. Bush could not see VIII
