ton of internal taxes as will meet
the changed industrial conditions of
the kingdom and the exigencies of
the times, and thereby secure just
distribution of the burden of taxa
ton.
ART. l4--The improvement of
methods for the general education of
the people will claim the attention of
the party. If the suffrage is to be
extended it is essential that voters
should be educated and intelligent
men.
ART. l5-The admirable work done
by the higher schools under the Board
of Education, so ably furthered by
the st. Louis and Kamehameh schools,
is fitting a class of worthy Hawaiians
as teachers for district schools, and
it may be desirable TO modify the
policy of the board so far as TO make
places for Hawaiian teachers.
The reading of the platform was

plause.

Mr.. More then stated that the exc
cutive committees of the Union and
Hui had decided 10 hold a mass
meeting at an early date, presum-
ably on Monday evening, when the
candidates were to address them.
Hon. j.. S. Walker being called
upon for speech said that he
thought it premature to make politi-
cal speeches on the issues of the day,
as it would be time enough when the
candidates expressed their views.
He fully endorsed the sentiments of
the platform. 1t was not an easy mat
ter to make platform to suit every,
body, as 1t was hard to make one tc
suit oneself. The speaker thought
the platform was a good one in s
general way, and he hoped they
would stand by it. OF their candi
dates, he was familiar with all tn,
Mobiles, but of the Representative
he knew but few He though
them good men who would stand b,
the principles of the party. Thei
candidates in the last Legislature di,
not do much, perhaps, but next tim
they will do better.
Hon. III. A. Widemann was yer,
much pleased to see the meeting s
quiet and orderly. He attended tn
meeting with the expectation of wit
Messing rumpus, but as had bee
seen he was disappointed. Yesterda.

them. At the same time he was cor
tented and happy. He expected al
to vote straight and to stand tc
gether.
Hon. E. C. Macfarlane did nc
think that everything could be don
perfect. The ratification meetin
would be, as has been stated, mex
week, and, as the Hon. Mr.. Wild,
mann had said, he hoped that til
Union and the Kalaiaina would vot
straight. That gentleman has s,
them an example and he thanke
him. There will be several ticket
brought forward shortly and that
the req on why he would ask all
stand together.
Mr.. Ii. Mills would like to kno
whether the candidates had signilie
their willingness to uphold the pla
} form.
Mr.. Macfarlane--It is not nece
sary. TINE enough at the ma
meeting.
i, Mr.. Widemann--When the cand
dates were elected they were sure
elected under the platform and wei
supposed to endorse it. Ii the
failed to do so, why they can st'
! out.
Mr.. Quinn as a member of VI
