about law. They could find him at
the iishmarket. If they voted for
them he would give them all honors.
Mr.. Male devoted some remarks TO
Kaulia and Kaulukou and their as
sumption of great legal knowledge.
Mr.. Ashford announced Mr.. Jas.
Gay of Waialua, an Independent
ranchman, as candidate for Noble
for two years. Being modest he
made no pretensions to oratory, but
if they sent him to the Legislature
they would have more work and less
talk.
Mr.. Gay was received with APP
plause. He said one thing he was
not ashamed of, he had as much
right as any man to represent them,
This was his adopted country, he had
been here 81 years, it was his chill
dren's country by inheritance. (Here
he corrected the interpreter, causing
cries of "He's talking kanaka,"
laughter and applause.) 1t had been
said to him that day by several, in
Guiding one kanaka so big that he
couldn't lick him, that he was trail
tor to the Queen. But if they elect
ed him he could show them he wasn't
a traitor. For the rest, those other
gentlemen had told them what was
their platform-it was one for the
people, for the workingmen, for the
natives especially. Now he would
make a statement that would make
them think he was no traitor. aside
to the interpreter--"Give it to them
just as 1 say.") In 1887 they forced
bitter pill on him, that was the new
Constitution that deprived the ma
tives of their rights. One more re-
mark. He hoped they would all at.
tend the birthday reception of the
Queen, no matter how small were
their hookupus.
Mr.. w. II. Cummings was intro
duced by Mr.. Ashford as one elected
by the National Reform party two
years ago, who had remained poor
while others became rich, but who
stood by his colors. Mr.. Cummings
backed up his introducer's claim for
him of his steadfastness. For love
of his country he had neglected his
business. There was confusion of
names between Mr.. Cummins and
himself, but the more patriotic of
them was the one who stated his
principles in public, not the one who
concealed his ideas. The speaker
touched on various topics, then en-
tered on a fervent advocacy of ma
tional bank, with an issue of paper
currency adequate to the wants of
the people. In the course of his re-
marks he said the missionaries taught
his grandfather that he should lay
up treasure in heaven, and got all
his land at 25 cents an acre. Then
when he was destitute they told him
to ask and he should receive, but
when he went begging a mite from
them they told him to 60 to work.
In conclusion he urged the women
to make their men vote the National
Liberal ticket.
Mr.. l.. w. p. Kanealii of Wailuku
was introduced as another member of
the last Legislature who could not be
seduced from his principles, and who
would now address them briefly Gem
phasis on the "briefy"). Mr.. Kane
ALI said he had been waiting long
time for chance to speak. They
had been called paupers, revolution
lists and traitors. The constitution
was a republican one, having two
sovereigns. 1t was in the Marshal's
power to make valid their elections,
a privilege too great to be in the
hands of the hangman.
Mr.. A. Marques was another of the
faithful ones in last Legislature, and
so introduced by Mr.. Ashford. He
did not expect to be called on, having
come to hear Mr.. Thurston and Mr..
Ashford. In this he was greatly dis,
appointed, as doubtless they all were.
On going home he saw stuck up
handbilI in blood red coler, inscribed
'Vote for Dillingham;, the friend of
the workingman." Mr.. Dillingham;
was a man whom he esteemed, but it
was great mistake for him to go into
politics. The placard mentioned re-
minded him of story 1t was about
cat out after birds, which got caught
in fishing net. 1t couldn't get out
and rat poked its nose out of a hole,
but being scared was going to run
away until the cat called it back.
The rat demurred at helping an enc
my, but was assured by puss that no
harm was meant. When the rat
gnawed the meshes away the rat
claimed cat s friendship, which the cat
agreed to and proved its sincerity by
eating the rat. Dillingham;, like the
cat with the rat, wanted the working
man to help him out of his piikia
with big elephant on his hands.
When the workingman did so Dilling-
ham would return the favor by help
ing to get 10000 coolies to eat the
workingman up. These remarks,
however, were forced on him "acci-
dentally." The Liberals were charg-
ed with being reyolutionists because
they asked for new constitution.
They wanted new constitution not
