Mr.. Bipikanc was introduced with
out the usual taffy. BE silent, said
he, that you may hear the roar Of the
bull. The constitution of 1887 was
made in secret. Mr.. Bipikane spoke
for several minutes more about Mr..
Bipikane, helping out the applause
himself.
MIR. G. w. Ashford reminded those
present at the opening that he had
called Messrs. Thurston and Dilling-
ham but neither of them had APP
peared. 1t wasgetting evident neither
Mr.. Dillingham; nor Mr.. Thurston
cared to meet Mr.. Ashford on the
subject of that $500 stock deal. Re-
ferring to the Saturday night incident
he said Mr.. Dillingham; probably
smelt rat and didn't want him Ash
ford) to comply with his (D's) in
vitation TO speak at that meeting. He
told a story of hunter who went out
after q bear-Dilingham could be
the hunter, while the speaker would
be the bear. The hunter replied to
inquiries, yes, he had seen the tracks
of the bear, but didn't catch him be-
cause the tracks were getting too
d-ncd fresh. In the present case
the tracks of the bear had got too
fresh for Dillingham;. Allusion was
again made to the item in the bull
LETIN, and he assured them his invi-
tation had been made in good faith,
Notwithstanding he had been treated
by those men Saturday night with the
malice of missionary and the man
ners of a hog. There was good rea-
son why they shouldn't want TO meet
him. The facts of that stock deal
were of record, and "boodle' was
stamped on Thurston's brow as plain
ly as murder on the brow of Cain.
applause } Thurston reminded him
of the negro deacon denying stealing
chickens when the rooster peeped out
of his pocket and crowed. He didn't
wish to dwell on this matter, on
which he had already spoken publicly
three times. 1t was just as well
Thurston didn't deny the soft i'm
parchment, for thereby he would be
only adding lying to boodling. The
other partner in the transaction was
that eminently pious member of Fort
street church, and when two men of
such pious pretensions joined in a
boodling enterprise-one as a bribe-
glver, the other as a bribe-t aker,
they could raise more devil than any
two deacons in Fort street church
could do in any other business. He
would not detract from the esteem
in which Mr.. Marques held Mr.. Dill

Had he Mr.. DIS peculiar ability in
building railroads he would build a
railroad round every island in the
group. Mr.. ID. said he had put in
100000 of cash and securities, but
didn't say how much of either. What
he did put in the railroad was that
whereby many people in the States
had become rich--natural gas. Mr..
Dillingham; professed TO be the friend
of the Hawalians. This he was
shown to be in peculiar way by his
being at the head of three trusts. He
had raised the charges for carrying
taro from Eva from 81 to So 80 a
ton. In the meat trust he had raised
the price of meat. Several times he
raised the price of milk, and although
he complained he had only had one
dividend i'll twelve years, the speaker
couldn't feel sorry for him, his milk

should tell if that dividend wasn't
bogus one, on which he unloaded
some of the stock. The speaker re-
peated what he said in former
speeches about Mr.. DIS employment
of Chinese on the railroad, denying
that the Chinese bid for construction
was the only one by several he had
received. Dillingham; was still EN-
ploying Chinese coolies on the road.
On trip down the line the other day
he saw several gangs of Portuguese
at work, but every one of them that
wasn't born in China was born in
Japan. Uaughter) When making
personal canvass through the Por-
tugucse settlement the other day, he
was startled to find the number of
men out of employment. Therefore,
he didn't believe in the friendship
that employed Chinese and japanese
when white mems families were in
distress for want of work. This
coolie question was the most startling
one before the country to-day, when
the planters with thousands of coolies
in the country proposed to import
thousands more from India to work
for 10 cents a day. Where would
they, workingmen, be when these
cheap coolies arrived? they would
