ing to listen to the eloquent speeches
delivered by the Liberal candidates,
who hope to secure a seat in the
coming Legislature.
+. b. THOMAS / have been here
fer the last sixteen years, and have
always been on deck, gentlemen.
The other side want to make such
laws as will drag you down. The
National Reform party say to you
Why vote for the Liberals? they are
not in favor of the treaty. No. We
are in favor of an equilateral treaty.
I thank you very much for your at
tention to me. L don't wish you to
vote for me. If go to the Legisla-
ture and make a name, shall thank
you for electing me.
G. B. MALE: 1 am not a fluent
speaker. My only platform to show
you is equality. [ ask you to love
our Queen and to support US. We are
not revoIutionIsts. [ don't know
anything about law. You can find
me every day at the fish market.
JAS. GAY GCheers-Waialua bOy]:
I am not ashamed to stand here to
solicit your votes. This is my cOun-
try by adoption. I have been with
you for twenty years. 1t is the coun-
try of my children by inheritance.
Address native-laughterl. A big
kanaka told me / was traitor. He
was so big / could not lick him laugh
teri. If you elect me, pll show that
gentleman whether [ am traitor to
7 lob npOttn1 hIIt
I don't see that big kanaka. Gentle
men. our platform is for the good of
the people. It is for the working
men and the kanakas principally.
The present constitution took away
the rights of the natives. / want you
all to come and pay your respects to
the Queen on the anniversary of her
reign.
w. H. CUMMINGS: / have neg
lected my sugar business to give my
services to my country. There is q
confusion of names between mine
and Mr.. Cummins. Who is the more
patriotic man, the one who comes
and speaks publicly or those
who hide in their secret dens.
They now hate Mr.. Ashford because
he related their secrets. Mr.. Dilling-
ham says that if we do not vote for
him he will not continue his railway,
and thus throw many out of employ
ment. My grandfather was a chief
and he owned ahupuaa at MakawaO.
The missionaries induced my grand
father to sell his estate for twenty
five cents an acre. They got the land
and they told my grandfather, you
go and work, you idler. My grand
father became drunkard and vicious
and was ruined. L think he is now
in hell. Cheap wages are the main
cause of the many strikes we hear of,
and Chinese immigration brought
this disaster upon US. If we stop it
we shall again reap prosperity. A
National Bank will remove our pres
ent monetary crisis. We want to is
sue banknotes. England, Russia,
France and Italy are flooded with
banknotes. The wealthy class here
do not like this idea because they
will not continue getting usury of l.
per cent. Mr.. Wilcox himself will in
troduce the National Bank bill. Mr..
Sam Parker told me to-day that he
would like to see me elected, because
he knows that l am working very
hard for the interest Of our party.
Some Of you are aged and you are in
different as to the future welfare Of
our country. Such a man is n fool
We ought to work at least for the
future welfare of our children. Bald
win said that Eva mill cannot be rur
successfully under 100000 annually
am not an expert like Baldwin, bu
/ do know something about suga-
plantations, and / believe it can bC
run cheaper by the principle of thu
Homestead Act. 1 propose to give
each laborer 40 acres to cultivate.
word to the women. Several women
We are here.
Hon. l.. w. p. KANEALII said thu
Constitution was really republican
because there were two sovereigns-
the Queen and the Cabinet.
A. MARQUES: L came here to lister
to Dillingham; and Thurston. I an
disappointed, and I suppose you are
too. Dillingham; is special friend
of mine; l respect him. / think h,
deserves the greatest credit for all h
has done, only think it is q grea
mistake for him to go into politics
(The speaker here told a story of
cat, rat and q bird). He wants tn
workingmen to elect him and he viii
introduce cheap coolies to ruin you
We don't want new constitution t.
make q revolution, but q constitution
to make peace. Our enemies 81.
that we are against the treaty. Tha
is lie. We want 4 treaty in favo
of all classes, and not one-sided one
We want free trade if it does not in
lure our small industries. We dom
want treaty with that famous bay
onet clause in.
BIPIKANE: want the audience t
be silent, so that the Bulls roar cal
be distinctly heard. If son of
missionary comes to me and tells nj
his love, PHI kick him, because hi
love is not sincere.
G.. w. ASHFORD: In opening thi
meeting L invited Dillingham; an
Thurston to explain that $500 stoc
deal. You are all witnesses to the fac
that they did not appear. 1t seem
evident to me that neither Mr.. Di
bingham nor Mr.Thurston are to NEE
Mr.. Ashford on that stock deal. Di
bingham evidently smelled rat, an
prevented my speaking last Saturday
Thurston was ready to come but wa
dissuaded by his friends, and Mr.. Di
bingham explains himself in an ope
letter. but not open to the gaze of tn
public, so nobody knows what it cor
tains. IF they had come tonight, W
would have treated them as gentle
men, and not with the malice of tn
missionary as they did us o
Saturday night. I am not surprise
as to their non-appearance here
The brand of Doodle is set on tn
brow of Thurston as plainly as tn
